LEVEL 1 DRILLS:

During the first phase, the focus is on the basic stance and the direct punches (jab and cross). After level 1, the client can return to the basic stance after each punch, hit technically correct, direct punches on the pads and keep close in case of a possible counter.

LEVEL 2 DRILLS

During this phase, hooks and uppercuts are taught. In addition, the client learns defense by slipping and subsequently countering with a boxing combination. After level 2, the client is capable to correctly perform all punches correctly in 4 out of the 5 points of the technical scale. In addition, the client no longer has to think about which number goes with what punch and they’ll know all the classic boxing combinations.

LEVEL 3 DRILLS
During this level the client really starts to feel like they’re boxing in a real match. Simultaneously punching and countering requires great footwork, balance and coordination. At this point, your client no longer has to think about the numbering of all punches. They also have fair technique by now. After this level, the client should be able to defend and counter at the same time. The most important thing is to stay balanced during the various drills.
