1-2 variation game
Gives choice within a narrow tactical problem.
By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Gives choice within a narrow tactical problem.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- A may throw jab only, 1-2 head, or jab body-right head
- B chooses parry, step back, slip or block and must answer one shot
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
Read first. Do not guess wildly. Check the purpose: gives choice within a narrow tactical problem.
Scale it
Advanced: B must answer with two shots.
Common faults
- Rushing the drill
- overreaching
- standing still after punching
- or trying to win the drill instead of learning the skill
Amateur relevance
Clean visible contact, immediate answer after defence, and a composed exit help the boxer look in control.
Use it
Run at rhythm pace first, then add one layer: speed, movement, counter, exit or coach call.
