By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Develops choice without adding too many punches.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- Both boxers may only jab to head or body
- Defences allowed: parry, elbow, slip, step back
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
Quality over volume. Score clean and exit. Check the purpose: develops choice without adding too many punches.
Scale it
Advanced boxers must counter after every defence.
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.
