This is reflex drill that i have done in the past and have always found quite difficult , this is how it's done .
Stand in front of partner and start chain punching his chest at a decent speed and with moderate contact ( or no contact , depends on partner).
Your partner with hands hanging down by their sides will start throwing random circular strikes to your head and stomach ( Head strikes can be substituted with open hand slap for safety ( also no straight punches because you are already controlling centerline .
Your objective is to counter these random strikes with economy of movement whilst continuously punching , trying not to let the random strikes disrupt the speed and flow of your punching .
Don't be surprised that you don't stop many of the strikes at this extreme close range and sometimes your hands will end up in a uncoordinated mess , if you only stop some of them you are doing well .
This type of training will develop the ability to deflect with minimal movement and release a fast barrage of chain punches also attacks at the normal range will be a lot easier to read .
