By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Teaches head movement against the jab.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- A jabs head
- B slips right
- Reset
Coach checks
- Move a little
- not a lot. Do not stare at the floor. Check the purpose: teaches head movement against the jab
Scale it
Add B jab to body 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
Use short technical rounds. Keep it cooperative before adding scoring or pressure.
