Drill Examples:
-
Squeeze Ball Drill - Watch Video
-
Have Partner 1 stand in front of a wall, and make sure their back foot is just against the wall. The goal of this boxing partner drill is to simulate being up against the ropes with nowhere to move. The wall serves as a rebound surface so that Partner 2 can quickly grab the squeeze balls.
Let’s get started!
Partner 1 starts in a fighting stance with their legs about shoulder width apart
Partner 2 slowly starts tossing the squeeze ball on both sides of Partner 1 (not aiming directly at Partner 2, but rather at the edges of their body)
Partner 1 should move slightly away from the ball using their upper body in a slip movement
Once comfortable, Partner 2 can increase their tossing speed and mix in throws above Partner 1’s head so that Partner 1 can practice their roll
This tennis ball drill for boxing effectively trains defense, head movement, and footwork. Start slow and continue this drill for a minute. Once you’ve established a rhythm, add more time. The goal would be to practice this drill for 3-minute rounds, twice a week. This will maximize its benefits.
