Drill 4 of 5
Jab to Stop Pressure
Interrupt forward momentum.
How to practice
- Partner walks you down aggressively. Establish the stop jab - hard, straight, timed to their first step.
- Jab them at the forehead and chest to interrupt their forward momentum before combos start.
- Add the second jab when the first stops them - double the jab, hold your ground.
- Mix in the stiff-arm frame jab when they rush past punching range.
- Finish with rounds where you may only punch the jab, and it must visibly halt their advance.
