By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Teaches the boxer not to stop after being countered.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- A throws 1-2
- B parries/catches and counters jab
- A steps back, makes it miss, then steps in with 1-2
- B exits
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
- Controlled pace. The lesson is timing
- not a fight. Check the purpose: teaches the boxer not to stop after being countered
Scale it
Add final left hook for A.
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.
