Jab body, right head
Teaches level change and recovery.
By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Teaches level change and recovery.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- A jabs body, right hand head
- B elbow-blocks body jab and catches/blocks right with left glove/forearm
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
A returns high after body jab. B does not turn away. Check the purpose: teaches level change and recovery.
Scale it
Add B right hand counter after block.
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.
