Purpose

Lets the boxer learn three answers to the same attack.

Setup

  • Pair boxers as A and B
  • Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles

Run it

  1. A jabs
  2. B chooses step back, rear-hand parry or slip right
  3. Reset

Coach checks

  • Coach calls the defence at first
  • then lets B choose. Check the purpose: lets the boxer learn three answers to the same attack

Scale it

Add counter jab after each defence.

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.
