Teaches in-out rhythm and re-entry after a counter.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- A pendulums in with jab
- B parries and jabs back
- B steps out, then steps in with another jab
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
- Do not bounce for show. Enter
- score
- leave
- re-enter. Check the purpose: teaches in-out rhythm and re-entry after a counter
Scale it
Make the final jab head or body by coach call.
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.
