Lean

Lean - I don't think there is an actual common name for this, so I just came up with the term lean. This is something I've seen fighters such as Dominick Cruz and Jeff Chan do. Essentially you are moving your head away from incoming strikes by bending at the waist and stepping to the side or (more often) diagonally back. Your shoulder generally lined up between you and your opponent. In some ways it is like an exaggerated shoulder roll which incorporates footwork.
