Three-punch defence chain
Defends jab head, right body, left hook head.
By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Defends jab head, right body, left hook head.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- A throws jab head, right body, left hook
- B parries jab, elbow-blocks body shot, catches/rolls hook, then exits
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
- Slow first. Never sacrifice safety for complexity. Check the purpose: defends jab head
- right body
- left hook head
Scale it
Add B right hand counter after hook 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 only after the base movement is reliable. Add choice, rhythm breaks or round pressure carefully.
