Purpose

Links jab battle into straight-right defence.

Setup

  • Pair boxers as A and B
  • Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles

Run it

  1. A jabs
  2. B parries and jabs back
  3. A steps back then steps in with straight right
  4. B blocks and counters right hand
  5. Reset, check shape, then repeat

Coach checks

Do not rush the transition. Clean jab first. Check the purpose: links jab battle into straight-right defence.

Scale it

Advanced version: B chooses right to head or body.

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.
