Drill 1 of 5
Boxing Feint Drill
Create reactions before attacking.
How to practice
- Shadowbox three feints: the shoulder twitch, the jab fake, and the level change.
- Feint and freeze - note exactly where your partner's hands go on each one.
- Feint the same way twice, then punch to the opening the feint created.
- Partner counters feints at random so you must stay balanced and defensively sound through each fake.
- Finish with a round where you must land three counters that were set up by a specific feint.
