Jab head, right body
Connects straight punching upstairs and downstairs.
By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Connects straight punching upstairs and downstairs.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- A jabs head, right hand body
- B parries jab and blocks body shot with left elbow
- Reset
Coach checks
A must not lean into the body right. B keeps elbow tight. Check the purpose: connects straight punching upstairs and downstairs.
Scale it
Add B counter jab 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.
