Purpose

Builds habit of finishing exchanges visibly.

Setup

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

Run it

  1. A attacks with 1-2
  2. B defends and returns one
  3. A must finish with one clean punch and exit
  4. Reset, check shape, then repeat

Coach checks

  • Clean last shot
  • not wild last shot. Check the purpose: builds habit of finishing exchanges visibly

Scale it

Advanced: last shot must be after a 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.
