Purpose

Teaches layered defence against repeated jab pressure.

Setup

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

Run it

  1. A double jabs
  2. B parries/catches first jab and steps back from second
  3. Reset

Coach checks

Do not panic after the first jab. Keep stance. Check the purpose: teaches layered defence against repeated jab pressure.

Scale it

Add B jab back after stepping out.

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.
