Drills for slipping + bob/weave

[Pugilius]

Think it is beneficial for counter strikers to have someone throw strikes at them while they practice slipping + bob/weave and maybe just throw a few counter strikes in the air? Get used to seeing shots coming?

Absolutely. You need to be composed and with your wits about you as a counter puncher when under fire so you can read your opponent and exploit counter opportunities. More practice the better, dude

I don't know about drills. I just have my trainer come at me with random jabs and crosses and I train my slipping and throwing punches to the body.

Thanks everyone.
What is a maze bag?

Lol... I dont know if your question was just an opportunity to throw that pic out or not..... but a maze bag or (slip) bag is a little bag usually filled with sand... looks like a small speed bag.... that is suspended in the air at head level. You swing the bag back and forth and practice slipping side so side with the bag moving past your head while you shadowbox.
