Purpose

Stops boxers standing square after body punching.

Setup

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

Run it

  1. A jabs, right to body, then immediately steps out left or rolls under
  2. B touches back if A stays on line
  3. Reset, check shape, then repeat

Coach checks

  • Body shot
  • clean up
  • reset. Check the purpose: stops boxers standing square after body punching

Scale it

Advanced: B can counter live if A fails to exit.

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.
