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

  1. A crowds and lightly holds/leans
  2. B gets hands inside, frames, turns half-step, lands short hook or jab out
  3. 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.
