Purpose
Gives boxers a simple live game.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- Round 1: straight shots to shoulders/body only
- Round 2: straight shots to head/body
- Defence and footwork allowed
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
- Score clean
- do not load up. Check the purpose: gives boxers a simple live game
Scale it
Advanced boxers must defend after every attack.
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.
