Three-punch power burst | DrillGrid Boxing

Add to a session Save drill

Purpose

Develops force through the floor, hips and trunk while keeping the punch compact and recoverable.

Setup

Pair two boxers as A and B with gloves
Begin at the distance required by the sequence, agree cooperative technical contact, and let Boxer A feed or present targets while Boxer B performs the action
Keep the floor clear and match speed to the less experienced boxer

Run it

Set Boxer A as the feeder or target holder and Boxer B as the working boxer; begin at a controlled technical pace.
The boxer delivers a hook-cross-hook burst at roughly 80 to 90 percent power with full technical shape, then uses five seconds of relaxed footwork before the next burst.
Reset in stance after each clean repetition. Work for 2 min round, 30s rest, switch roles halfway where appropriate, and stop the round if shape or control breaks down.

Coach checks

Grounding: Drive through the balls of the feet and rotate the hips before the arm fully extends.
Tightness: Clench the fist and tighten the forearm only at the moment of impact to maximize the 'snap'.
Speed and power remain low enough for both boxers to keep shape, sight and a clean reset.

Scale it

Easier: rehearse one action at a time at half speed with a predictable feed.
Harder: make the feed semi-random, then require a clean exit or defensive recovery after scoring.

Common faults

Loading the arm or chasing power - keep the punch compact and let the floor and hips create force.
Falling over the front foot - finish able to defend, pivot or punch again.

Amateur relevance

Fast, clean scoring actions followed by an obvious recovery make the work visible to amateur judges and reduce the chance of being caught during the return.

Use it

Use this in the main technical block for two or three short rounds after the movement warm-up. It suits advanced boxers when the feed, speed and contact are scaled to experience.
