Purpose

Prevents robotic combinations.

Setup

  • Coach controls distance, speed and pressure
  • Boxer reads the touch or target, answers cleanly, exits, then resets

Run it

  1. Coach changes distance
  2. Boxer may only attack when target appears, then must defend the coach's touch back
  3. Reset, check shape, then repeat

Coach checks

  • Patience
  • then sharp entry. Check the purpose: prevents robotic combinations

Scale it

Add feints from coach.

Common faults

  • Turning it into a fight
  • feeding too hard
  • or letting the boxer memorise rather than read

Amateur relevance

This bridge work helps transfer drill skill into bout timing and visible scoring exchanges.

Use it

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