Scale it
Add A jab head before body jab.
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 short technical rounds. Keep it cooperative before adding scoring or pressure.
