Purpose

Develops in-out scoring.

Setup

  • Coach presents targets and controls rhythm
  • Boxer starts balanced, completes the sequence, then returns to guard

Run it

  1. Boxer steps in 2-3 shots, coach touches back, boxer slips/pivots out, re-enters with jab
  2. Reset, check shape, then repeat

Coach checks

  • Be on
  • be off
  • be on again. Check the purpose: develops in-out scoring

Scale it

Add body shot on re-entry.

Common faults

  • Coach overfeeding
  • boxer punching too hard
  • wide hooks
  • dropping hands after combinations

Amateur relevance

Pad work should transfer into clean scoring, fast responses and visible control in amateur bouts.

Use it

Use only after the base movement is reliable. Add choice, rhythm breaks or round pressure carefully.
