Is this drill for you?
For intermediate guards (Level 3) who want the jab-step fakes and delayed counters that make defenders freeze - no hoop needed.
The ladder: Jabs first - cross, between-the-legs, behind-the-back - then delayed between-the-legs crosses, pound-and-stunt fakes, and freestyle to finish.
Variations: Both hands; freestyle finisher.
In a game: The jab and the stunt are what buy the half-second you need to beat a defender - this builds eight ways to get it.
First drill runs five-minute cycles - expect a conditioning element.
