Jab-hook defence
Defends a common jab-left hook pattern.
By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Defends a common jab-left hook pattern.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- A jabs then left hooks
- B parries jab, catches hook on tight right glove, then steps out
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
Do not drop the right hand after parry. Check the purpose: defends a common jab-left hook pattern.
Scale it
Add B right hand counter after hook catch.
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.
