Purpose

Turns a single defended jab into a two-jab reply.

Setup

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

Run it

  1. A jabs
  2. B parries and counters double jab
  3. A steps back and parries while moving
  4. Reset, check shape, then repeat

Coach checks

Double jab must travel with the feet. Check the purpose: turns a single defended jab into a two-jab reply.

Scale it

Coach calls single or double response.

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.
