An oft-repeated mantra of a few my teachers was “You are never above basics”. With this in mind, my client’s eighth hour was a revisit to the first lesson where we trained footwork and the jab. This enabled him to correct a few reoccurring mistakes.
- Shoulder tag game – say 1, 2 or 3 before tagging opponent with that corresponding number of shoulder tags. Opponent seeks to escape to a designated place.
- Shoulder tag on the go – no announcing of tags.
- Jab versus counter-punch.
- Circle zone and aim to tag opponent inside zone/escape to outside zone without being tagged.
- Same as above but outside boxer only permitted jabs.
- Jab versus jab.
- Lead hand only sparring.
