- Boxer reads the touch or target, answers cleanly, exits, then resets
Run it
- Coach steps in with jab touch
- Boxer steps back, jab-right, exits left
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
- Small step
- immediate return. Check the purpose: teaches step back and re-entry
Scale it
Add coach second touch if boxer stays still.
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.
