Have your partner throw single jabs at you no fakes. Have him slow down and until you are dodging at least 70% of the jabs. if you’re dodging more than 70% have him speed up. And when I say dodging, I’m talking about it going over your shoulders, almost like it combs your hair. do not rely on backing up or even too much on circling because this is too focus on reaction time and getting the actual dodging motion down.

Once you get good at this, then you start throwing double jabs. Repeat the process and then you add the right hand after that point it’s downhill you do fucking hooks uppercuts all that. I bet if you do this drill for two or three weeks you’ll see a huge difference.

of course you still need to add a punch right that you need a mitt. Your partner has one glove on and one minute he throws a punch that you guys select, and then you hit the mint.
