Combinations drill
Hook-straight flow
Blends bent-arm and straight shots.
By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Blends bent-arm and straight shots.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- A throws left hook-right hand or right hand-left hook
- B catches/rolls and returns jab
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
- Hooks short
- right hand straight. Check the purpose: blends bent-arm and straight shots
Scale it
Advanced: add re-counter after B's jab.
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.
