Future focus
Distance and range
In 7 months
Range month gives boxers a simple read: too far, too close, or scoring distance. The work is about knowing when to step, when to punch and when to leave.
What
Distance and range
Long range, mid range, close range, stepping in safely and leaving before range turns against you.
How
How to use it
Coaches can use floor marks, jab games, pad entries, bag distance checks and partner range drills to make distance visible.
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
Range decides whether skill becomes useful.
Most beginner mistakes are distance mistakes: reaching from too far away, smothering at close range or standing still after scoring.
The KB range studies cover long-range boxers, pressure fighters and inside workers. The shared lesson is that each range has a different job.
For juniors, this is one of the safest months because it teaches them not to reach, crowd or stand still after scoring.
Coaches will be watching whether feet create range before the hands chase it.

Study video ↗What classes will feel like
The month builds in layers
Week 1
Find scoring range
Use jab reach, stance and pad distance to show what is in range and what is not.
Week 2
Enter safely
Step-jab and jab-cross entries without leaning from too far away.
Week 3
Leave close range
Smothered range, tie-up awareness, step-outs and pivots after working.
Week 4
Read the range
Light partner games where the boxer must choose: step, punch, defend or exit.
Example drills
Drills coaches may use this month
Beginners
Jab range marker
Use a floor line or cone to test whether the jab lands without reaching.
If the shoulder reaches past the feet, move the feet first.
All levels
Too far too close call
Coach calls a range, boxer adjusts stance and gives the correct punch or exit.
Make the decision before throwing.
Intermediate
Long-mid-close bag round
One round split into long jab, mid-range combination and close-range exit.
Each range has different punch choices and different risk.
Controlled partner work
Range touch game
Light lead-hand touch only; score for entering and leaving cleanly.
No power. This is a distance-reading drill.
Member note
Bring this into the gym.
Before you punch, ask: am I actually in range? That question cleans up a lot of boxing.
