By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Teaches legal, clean responses to spoiling.
Setup
- Coach controls distance, speed and pressure
- Boxer reads the touch or target, answers cleanly, exits, then resets
Run it
- Coach lightly ties one arm or leans in
- Boxer gets hands inside, frames, turns, short hook/uppercut, exits with jab
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
- Referee-aware. No wrestling contest. Check the purpose: teaches legal
- clean responses to spoiling
Scale it
Add immediate three-shot burst after exit.
Common faults
- Turning it into a fight
- feeding too hard
- or letting the boxer memorise rather than read
Amateur relevance
This bridge work helps transfer drill skill into bout timing and visible scoring exchanges.
Use it
Use only after the base movement is reliable. Add choice, rhythm breaks or round pressure carefully.
