Bob and Weave

Identify an incoming high horizontal strike (such as a hook or wide cross).

Flex the knees rapidly to lower the center of gravity beneath the plane of the incoming fist; avoid bending forward at the waist.

Roll the torso in a downward "U-shaped" arc toward the inside or outside of the incoming punch vector.

Shift weight from the lead leg to the rear leg (or vice versa) as the body moves under the trajectory of the strike.

Drive upward through the legs to return to the original standing stance, stepping off at an angle to create an immediate counter-attacking position.
