Purpose

Trains defence and immediate answer inside.

Setup

  • Pair boxers as A and B
  • Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles

Run it

  1. A throws hook/uppercut sequence
  2. B blocks, rolls under, returns uppercut-hook, exits
  3. Reset, check shape, then repeat

Coach checks

Roll with balance. Do not wrestle. Check the purpose: trains defence and immediate answer inside.

Scale it

Coach calls exit direction.

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

Use only after the base movement is reliable. Add choice, rhythm breaks or round pressure carefully.
