Want to improve your reaction time for kicks? Add this drill to your training. Here's how...

Here's one drill I like to perform towards the end of my training sessions. It'll teach you to react quickly to the pads, teach you how to recover from a missed punch and improve your timing from punching to kicking.

How to Perform

Striker throws continuous jab-cross while waiting for pad holder's cue.

Pad Holder prompts for a kick, knee, or both whenever they choose.

Striker, focus on your body awareness by pulling back your punch when the pad holder flashes the prompt. This will prevent you from over extending your punching arm.

Keep your hands busy and hips moving.

When you see the cue, strike with POWER!

After your kick/knee, continue throwing your jab-cross
