Boxing Footwork Drill #6 – The Stance Switching Strike

I recommend performing Drill #1 with your jump rope until you are happy
with your stance switching movement.

You can either perform this drill in a shadowboxing fashion or have a
training partner hold a pair of focus mitts for you.

Begin in your orthodox boxing stance and take three small steps forward

while throwing a triple jab – no need to place a great deal of power behind
your jab in this drill, your jab should be fast and act as a range finder.

After throwing your your third jab immediately switch to a southpaw stance
by stepping your right foot forward and throw a straight right (which, now
you’ve switched stances will also be your left hand).

Regardless of whether you’re a an orthodox or southpaw boxer perform this
drill from both stances, switching to the alternating stance.

Either perform a stance switch from regular to southpaw and then follow up
your next combo going from southpaw to regular or opt to perform 3 minute

rounds of each stance switch.
