Purpose

Trains parry then elbow block under pressure.

Setup

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

Run it

  1. A jabs head, right body
  2. B parries jab, elbow-blocks right, counters jab
  3. A lays back
  4. Reset, check shape, then repeat

Coach checks

  • Compact defence
  • quick return. Check the purpose: trains parry then elbow block under pressure

Scale it

Add A re-counter jab after lay back.

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.
