Jabs drill
Parry, counter, step out
Links defence, counter and exit.
By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Links defence, counter and exit.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- A jabs
- B parries, counters with jab, then steps out
- A resets
Coach checks
- Counter immediately. Exit after the shot. Check the purpose: links defence
- counter and exit
Scale it
Add A lay back from the counter.
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.
