Jabs drill
Jab mechanics
Perfect the jab shape.
By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Perfect the jab shape.
Setup
- Coach presents targets and controls rhythm
- Boxer starts balanced, completes the sequence, then returns to guard
Run it
- Coach presents lead pad
- Boxer jabs, returns to guard, steps out
- 3 x 1-minute rounds
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
Pad does not chase the punch. Boxer moves to target. Check the purpose: perfect the jab shape.
Scale it
Add double jab.
Common faults
- Coach overfeeding
- boxer punching too hard
- wide hooks
- dropping hands after combinations
Amateur relevance
Pad work should transfer into clean scoring, fast responses and visible control in amateur bouts.
Use it
Use short technical rounds. Keep it cooperative before adding scoring or pressure.
