Instructions

  1. 1Press a partner receiver with an open hand strike inside the frame, thumbs up on the chest plate.
  2. 2Reset the hand immediately after contact instead of gripping the waist, hip, or jersey.
  3. 3Mirror the receiver's release for five yards with hands under control and no reach.

What to focus on

Short, inside-frame punch with an instant hand reset — no grabbing, hooking, or holding at the waist or hip.

Common mistake

Reaching and hooking at the waist or hip when beaten, which draws a pass interference or holding flag.
