Future focus
Amateur scoring
In 19 months
Amateur scoring month connects clean technique to what judges can see. Members learn to land clearly, defend visibly and finish exchanges in balance.
What
Amateur scoring
Clear scoring punches, visible defence, balanced exits, ring position and finishing exchanges in a way judges can see.
How
How to use it
Coaches can use scoring games, clean-touch rounds, visible defence drills and corner-style feedback focused on round management.
Monthly pathway
Current, next and last focus
Start with the active block, look ahead to the next one, then keep last month as a reference rather than the first card.
Why it matters
Clean, visible boxing beats busy, messy work.
Amateur boxing rewards clean, controlled boxing. Busy but messy work often teaches the wrong habit.
The KB amateur clips make a useful distinction: amateur boxing rewards clear scoring, composure and repeatable habits.
For juniors, this month is not about rushing towards competition. It is about understanding what clean boxing looks like.
Coaches will be watching whether shots are clear, defences are visible and exchanges finish before the boxer gets dragged into mess.
Video homework

The month builds in layers
Week 1
Define a scoring shot
Clear target, balance, visible landing and recovery.
Week 2
Show defence
Blocks, parries and exits that are visible and controlled.
Week 3
Finish exchanges
Last clean shot, step out, reset and listen.
Week 4
Manage the round
Technical rounds scored for clean work, not volume.
Example drills
Drills coaches may use this month
All levels
Clean-touch scoring
Light glove touch where only balanced, clear shots count.
Messy flurries score zero in the drill.
Beginners
Visible defence round
Partner feeds slow shots; defender scores for clear catch, parry or block.
No hiding. Defence should be calm and readable.
Intermediate
Last-shot exit
Short exchange, final clean punch, immediate step out.
Teach members to finish the exchange, not admire it.
Class review
Judge the round
Members watch a controlled drill and name the clean scoring moments.
Learning to see scoring improves how they box.
