Purpose

Makes slipping functional.

Setup

  • Coach controls distance, speed and pressure
  • Boxer reads the touch or target, answers cleanly, exits, then resets

Run it

  1. Coach feeds jab or right touch
  2. Boxer slips outside and scores one or two on target glove
  3. Reset, check shape, then repeat

Coach checks

  • Slip to punch
  • not to pose. Check the purpose: makes slipping functional

Scale it

Add body target.

Common faults

  • Turning it into a fight
  • feeding too hard
  • or letting the boxer memorise rather than read

Amateur relevance

This bridge work helps transfer drill skill into bout timing and visible scoring exchanges.

Use it

Run at rhythm pace first, then add one layer: speed, movement, counter, exit or coach call.
