🥊 52 Blocks — L Step & Rotisserie Footwork

The L Step uses rotisserie-style footwork to take you around the opponent rather than getting trapped moving forwards and backwards.

Instead of constantly going in and out, we use angles to move around the problem — creating space, changing position and making it harder for the opponent to line you up.

Simple movement. Better angles. More options.

That’s 52 Blocks.

🥊 52 Blocks — Cutting Angles 🔥

Pivoting and cutting angles around your opponent puts you where they don’t want you to be.

Use deception and feints to disguise your footwork, so they don’t see the angle coming. Work both sides, mix it up and keep them guessing. 👊

We don’t want to stand there trading punches. Cut the angle. Control the position. Stay dangerous. 💥🥊

Working on the double end. Shift and pivot to create a better angle. Tricky drill, but a lot of fun 🙂

🥊 Think you can hit a punch bag? Try hitting one that hits back! 😂

The double-end bag is a different beast. It ain’t about smashing it as hard as you can — you need to learn how to control it.

Start with short, light punches. 👊 Keep them tight and controlled.

Turning those punches over and getting your knuckles into the right position is essential.

Once you’ve got that dialled in, start building the speed and gradually increase the range. ⚡️

It’s all about timing, accuracy, control and movement.

And trust me… this thing will let you know pretty quickly if your technique is rubbish! 😂🥊

🥊 You know there isn’t a “52 Blocks”.

52 Blocks isn’t a separate martial art full of fixed techniques and fancy poses. It’s an extra layer of defence within boxing — using clever footwork, feints, range, slipping, ducking, angles and movement to make sure those punches don’t land in the first place.

Why stand there and eat punches when you can make them miss? 😎

As Ali said:

“I’m still pretty.” 🥊😂

That’s 52 Blocks.
