Drill 3 of 5
Jab to Body / Chest Entry
Close distance without reaching for the head.
How to practice
- Establish the jab to the head until the partner starts blocking high on rhythm.
- Drop your level with the knees, jab to the chest or solar plexus, and come over the top with the cross.
- Alternate: jab high twice, then jab low-cross high - make the level change the weapon.
- Partner blocks for real so your low jab must clear their guard to count.
- Drill 3 rounds where you score only on level-change sequences, never on the jab to the head alone.
