1. Slipping

   Slipping is a technique used in boxing that is similar to bobbing. It is considered one of the four basic defensive strategies, along with blocking, holding, and clinching. It is performed by moving the head to either side so that the opponent's punches "slip" by the boxer.Slipping punches allows the fighter to recover quicker and counter punches faster than the opponent can reset into proper fighting stance. In boxing, timing is known to be a key factor in the outcome. Timing your slips correctly is essential in protecting yourself and saving energy. Slipping, if done incorrectly, can be dangerous as it exposes you to a counter-punch and an unbalanced stance. Which can lead to an opening for the opponent. Muhammad Ali is considered to be, pound for pound, one of the greatest fighters of all time. But what made him so lethal? Was it his power, speed, or technique of slipping punches? Many fighters and analysts will say it was his slipping capability.

Examples of slipping in a Sentence

1. Colleague Miro Voellmy:

   Tracks are excellent for this use case because they have a very large footprint, which makes it near impossible to tilt, and they are also very smooth so it doesn't feel like you're driving up stairs, so it just feels like you're driving up a ramp because they're so flat and they adapt to the stair profile. So it doesn't matter if the stair is wooden or metal or glass, the tracks they grip and there's no danger of slipping.

And then I was given the part, the Godfather.
