Here is an exercise by Mikhail Ryabko that I really like.
Two partners stand across from each other, at least 5 meters apart (15-20 feet) Both approach and without stopping deliver one punch to each other The punches can be to the chest, stomach, sides or arms (apply pushes only if it is to the face area) Return to the original positions and come at each other now with two punches each Next, approach and exchange 3 punches each, then 4, 5, etc. As many as you like, but make sure the punches are solid and precise without damage
It is important to keep moving, walk around each other if needed during punches, do not pause or stop This exercise is an excellent preparation for fighting. It allows you to see how different are your partners' movements, choice of distance and mind-set when he is planning to deliver 1 punch as opposed to 2, 5, 10 or more. In this drill, you are the attacker as well as the recipient. You are able to observe how you move, how you choose the distance and analyze your own determination and thinking.
You can examine and test in action both sides of the confrontation, physically and psychologically. This develops awareness, the skill of simultaneously taking and delivering attacks, and builds strong spirit.
