Purpose
Builds adaptability under limited live pressure.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B

Run it
- A can throw jab, right or hook
- B chooses parry/slip/roll and counters
- Light contact, strict control
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
Choose the simplest answer that works. Check the purpose: builds adaptability under limited live pressure.
Scale it
Add body shot option later.
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.
