Purpose

Bridges pad work and partner drills.

Setup

  • Coach controls distance, speed and pressure
  • Boxer reads the touch or target, answers cleanly, exits, then resets

Run it

  1. Coach touches jab line
  2. Boxer parries and jabs the target glove
  3. Coach moves away
  4. Reset, check shape, then repeat

Coach checks

Make the boxer move to score. Check the purpose: bridges pad work and partner drills.

Scale it

Add double jab.

Common faults

  • Turning it into a fight
  • feeding too hard
  • or letting the boxer memorise rather than read

Amateur relevance

This bridge work helps transfer drill skill into bout timing and visible scoring exchanges.

Use it

Use short technical rounds. Keep it cooperative before adding scoring or pressure.
