Description:
The students will work on their reaction by learning to slip and roll punches without getting hit. This drill will help reinforce body awareness and timing.
Teaching SKILLZ: Modeling
demonstrate the correct way to slip, roll, and counter so students can copy proper form and timing, then highlight peers who perform it well for others to learn from.
Brain SKILLZ: Visual Processing
students must watch the incoming punches closely, recognize their direction, and process visual cues quickly to move their head and body with precision.
Step 1
Divide the class into lines.
Step 2
Have one instructor per line holding punching mills.
Step 3 – Explain the Rules
The student will first have to slip a Jab, and a Cross punch by slightly moving their head to the side.
Then they must roll under the hook punch.
The student must react fast enough to roll under the hook punch without getting hit.
Repeat this 3 times.
Step 4
Continue until each student has 3 turns.
Step 5
This can be made more challenging by seeing who can strike back fastest after they roll out of the hook punch.
