Boxing Footwork Drill #16 – The Tape Square Drill

                For this drill you guessed it! You’ll need some tape.
                Begin by taping 9 squares on the floor (all joined together) each square
                should be approximately the size of your foot.
















































                Begin standing behind the middle of the 3 squares at the back – step forward
                and throw a jab – your front should now be inside one of the squares.
                Continue to move forward, laterally to both the left and right as well as
                moving backwards as you step between your 9 tape squares, throwing a
                punch with your left hand when you step left (this could be a lead hook, left

                uppercut or jab) and throwing a punch with your right hand when stepping
                right (this could be a right hook, straight right or rear uppercut).

                This is a fantastic drill to understand how far you should be stepping on each
                punch not to mention an excellent way to ensure you’re always in your
                correct boxing stance after throwing a punch.
