By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Uses step back to draw and punish.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- A jabs
- B counters jab
- A steps back to make B short, then fires right hand or jab-right
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
Small step. Do not run away. Check the purpose: uses step back to draw and punish.
Scale it
Coach calls A's return shot.
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.
