Builds a scoring counter after straight punches.
By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Builds a scoring counter after straight punches.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- A throws 1-2
- B parries/catches, slips outside right hand, counters left hook, then pivots out
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
Hook is short. Pivot after landing. Check the purpose: builds a scoring counter after straight punches.
Scale it
Add B right hand after hook.
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
Use only after the base movement is reliable. Add choice, rhythm breaks or round pressure carefully.
