Installs automatic head movement after punching.
By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Installs automatic head movement after punching.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- A throws any straight-punch combination up to three punches, then slips left or right
- B taps back if A stays central
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
- Move after punching
- not before balance is set. Check the purpose: installs automatic head movement after punching
Scale it
Add pivot after slip.
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.
