Future focus
Angles and pivots
In 13 months
Angle month teaches boxers to leave the centre line after they punch. The focus is small side steps and pivots that create a new lane without spinning out of stance.
What
Angles and pivots
Side steps, pivots, exits after punching and new punching lanes without spinning out of stance.
How
How to use it
Coaches can build from footwork markers into jab-pivot pads, bag exits and partner gate drills where the new angle has to make sense.
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
An angle is useful only if it improves the next position.
Angles are only useful if they leave the boxer balanced and able to see. Random spinning is not boxing.
The KB angle clips show the difference between purposeful pivots and decorative movement.
For juniors, the safest cue is punch, step, see. For adults, angles become a way to score without staying in the return lane.
Coaches will be watching whether the boxer can punch again or defend after the pivot.
Video homework

Use these clips before class or as a reminder afterwards. Each one also opens on YouTube if you want to save it.

The month builds in layers
Week 1
Side step clean
Move off centre line while holding stance and eye contact.
Week 2
Pivot after the jab
Jab, pivot, reset guard. No spinning or crossing feet.
Week 3
Create a lane
Use combinations that finish at a new angle on pads and bags.
Week 4
Use opponent feedback
Partner drills where the angle has to beat a predictable line of return.
Example drills
Drills coaches may use this month
Beginners
Jab pivot marker
Jab at a pad, pivot around a floor marker, freeze in stance.
The pivot is small. Keep the lead foot useful.
All levels
Exit lane bag round
Bag combination, step to a named lane, reset before punching again.
Do not circle randomly. Pick a lane.
Intermediate
Angle after defence
Block or slip, then pivot or side-step before answering.
Angles are not only attacking tools.
Controlled partner work
Partner gate angle
Partner gives a straight line with gloves, boxer steps to a new lane and touches back.
Light contact only. The point is position.
Member note
