Drill 3 of 5
Pivot Against Aggressive Fighter
Exit the attack line when rushed.
How to practice
- Partner charges forward in straight lines. Slip their first punch and pivot 90 degrees off your lead foot.
- Let their momentum carry them past you, then face them immediately from the new angle.
- Add the counter hook during the pivot - land as they overrun the position.
- Alternate sides: pivot left off the lead foot, pivot right off the rear foot, 10 reps each.
- Finish live rounds where every exchange must end with you off their line of attack.
