Boxing Footwork Drill #15 – The 90 Degree Uppercut Drill

For this drill you’ll require 3 cones, witches hats or 3 pieces of tape placed

on the floor to create a 90 degree angle (essentially the shape of the letter L).
This drill is designed to cut an angle and land an uppercut on an opponent

coming towards you with straight punches – we’re going to be performing
this drill using both orthodox and southpaw stances.

Hop laterally from your left side of your cones to the right side of your and
throw a left uppercut (the hand closest to the middle cone). Immediately hop
laterally from the right side of your cones to the left side of your cones and
throw a right uppercut (the hand closest to the middle cone).

Continue to repeat this drill for the desired number of repetitions, imagining

your opponent is coming at you through the path of your middle cone and
you’re continuing to cut angles from both the orthodox and southpaw stance
as you rip away with your inside uppercuts.
