Snap Back (Rock back, pull back, lean back, slip back)
The idea is to move the upper body back to evade a strike to your head while keeping your lower body relatively in the same area. This allows you to quickly move back into position for a counter attack.
To execute simply lean back, shifting about 70% of your weight onto the back foot, then quickly push off the back foot "snapping" you back into position. When leaning back make sure your chin is down. Depending on how much you lean back, you may need to take a small step back with your rear foot so that you are not off balance.
Your counter strike when using the snap back is usually the jab or cross.

Parry (Inside Deflection)
Parrying Straight Punches
Using the palm or forearm to deflect straight punches to the side. Don't over parry as it leaves you open to follow up punches. Use only the necessary amount of motion to redirect the punch.
Though nothing is written in stone, you generally want to use the hand which is on the outside of the opponents punch as it leaves you less susceptible to a follow up strike from the opposite hand. So parry opponents right hand with your left hand. Parry opponents left hand with your right.
-Lead Hand Parry
-Rear Hand Parry
You can also use your forearms or elbows to parry straight punches to the body.
*Tutorial@1:01
Parrying Straight Kicks
-Parry with forearms or elbows high front kicks in the same manner you would a punch.
Sweeping Parries Against Straight Kicks
-With a circular motion, swing your arm down, deflecting the opponents kick with your palm or inside wrist away from your body.
-Generally it is best to deflect the kick in a way which moves you to the outside of their body. WhiParry their right kick with your right arm and their left kick with your left arm.
Footwork
-Can stay positioned in front by slightly moving back when deflecting the kick or bellying out your midsection.
-Can also move to the side when deflecting the kick. When parrying with left arm, step to the right. When parrying with the right arm, step to the left. Step to the side and pivot to setup some counter strikes.
