By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Creates clean body-head rhythm.
Setup
- Coach presents targets and controls rhythm
- Boxer starts balanced, completes the sequence, then returns to guard
Run it
- Jab body pad, right head pad, left hook head pad, step out
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
- Bend knees
- not waist. Check the purpose: creates clean body-head rhythm
Scale it
Add coach tap after hook.
Common faults
- Coach overfeeding
- boxer punching too hard
- wide hooks
- dropping hands after combinations
Amateur relevance
Pad work should transfer into clean scoring, fast responses and visible control in amateur bouts.
Use it
Run at rhythm pace first, then add one layer: speed, movement, counter, exit or coach call.
