weaving : jeu de tête et d'épaules

OBS

«Esquiver les coups» exprime davantage le résultat du «bob and weave» que l'action elle-même, mais il rend bien l'effet recherché : en sautillant sans cesse et oscillant la tête de gauche à droite, l'objectif va de haut en bas et d'un côté et de l'autre, ce qui rend la partie difficile pour le boxeur adverse.
