By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Makes recovery part of scoring.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- Straight punches only
- A point only counts if the boxer exits, slips or pivots after landing
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
No standing still after scoring. Check the purpose: makes recovery part of scoring.
Scale it
Add first and last 10 second scoring rule.
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 only after the base movement is reliable. Add choice, rhythm breaks or round pressure carefully.
