By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Prevents straight-punch combinations ending square.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- A throws 1-2, pivots left or right
- B touches back if A remains on line
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
- Step
- turn
- eyes on opponent. Check the purpose: prevents straight-punch combinations ending square
Scale it
Advanced: pivot then jab back in.
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.
