By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Teaches boxer to avoid being smothered and to exit with authority.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- A crowds and lightly holds/leans
- B gets hands inside, frames, turns half-step, lands short hook or jab out
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
No pushing the neck. Keep it sport-safe and referee-aware. Check the purpose: teaches boxer to avoid being smothered and to exit with authority.
Scale it
Add immediate long jab after exit.
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.
