Builds distance countering.
By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Builds distance countering.
Setup
- Coach presents targets and controls rhythm
- Boxer starts balanced, completes the sequence, then returns to guard
Run it
- Coach presents jab line
- Boxer lays back, steps in jab-right-left hook, exits
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
- Lay back small
- feet stay ready. Check the purpose: builds distance countering
Scale it
Add right hand finish.
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
Run at rhythm pace first, then add one layer: speed, movement, counter, exit or coach call.
