Bobbing is often used with weaving - this is due to the fact the weapons often travel on circular paths, which can require not only vertical motion, but horizontal motion as well; to effectively create an Angle of Deviation.
The most common way to execute a bob is ducking.
Bobbing is most often used as a defense.
Bobbing should be executed through the use of the legs, while keeping the body erect - not by bending.
Bobbing can also be used as a form of cocking with the entire body.
Bobbing is most often employed by boxers.
Bobbing is the opposite of weaving, in that bobbing is employed using the dimension of height, and weaving using the dimension of width. |
