Trains defence and immediate answer inside.
By DrillGrid Admin
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
- A throws hook/uppercut sequence
- B blocks, rolls under, returns uppercut-hook, exits
- 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.
