Partner drills
10.1 / Sample drill / One punch (jab) versus one
defensive move (jab catch or parry).
10.2 Partner combo drill
Work selected punch combinations versus appropriate
defensive move or moves.
The combo drill is where one boxer throws more than
one punch (in other words, a combination) and the
other boxer defends against each punch with a defen-
sive move.
Start with the basic combinations — double jab (1-1),
jab / straight right (1-2) and jab / straight right / left
hook (1-2-3) — with appropriate defense.
Combine different defensive moves. For example,
against a double jab (1-1) you can parry right and then
inside slip.You will want to work and explore all defen-
sive possibilities, but not all at once. Isolate specific
combinations and specific defense(s) against them in
order to build proficiency.
