Teaches calm reactions at close range.
By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Teaches calm reactions at close range.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- Both boxers start chest-to-chest range with guard
- A touches one short shot
- B mirrors defence and returns same shot
- Reset
Coach checks
Short shots only. No wrestling. Check the purpose: teaches calm reactions at close range.
Scale it
Add frame and step out.
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.
