Combinations and distance

Learnt at a club

Ready when: Defence and pads, with a coach (b4) done.

Before you look for a club

What the coach teaches

Hooks and uppercuts on pads and the bag, combinations, counter-punching, and working at long, middle and close distance.

At home, safe only

Shadow boxing and mirror footwork without a partner punching.

Ask the club

How the club teaches distance; whether juniors wear headguards.

What you can see from the side

The boxer changes distance rather than standing still.

Self-check what the coach confirms

The coach calls three combinations and the boxer throws them in order.

Stop and get a coach when

Any dizziness after a session.
