By DrillGrid Admin
Purpose
Teaches calm shape under a three-shot burst.
Setup
- Pair boxers as A and B
- Start at technical pace, complete the sequence, reset, then swap roles
Run it
- A throws three light straight/hook touches
- B holds tight guard, blocks, then returns jab-right and exits
- Reset, check shape, then repeat
Coach checks
- Elbows in
- eyes forward
- answer back. Check the purpose: teaches calm shape under a three-shot burst
Scale it
Advanced: A may vary final hook or right hand.
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.
