Purpose

Turns jab defence into a body score.

Setup

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

Run it

  1. A jabs head
  2. B dips/slips right and jabs body simultaneously
  3. Reset

Coach checks

  • Head off line
  • jab lands
  • feet stay under body. Check the purpose: turns jab defence into a body score

Scale it

Add B step out right after 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

Run at rhythm pace first, then add one layer: speed, movement, counter, exit or coach call.
