partner drills
Two-person practice routines
Partner drills are training exercises performed with another person, common in martial arts, sports, and fitness.
One partner may hold pads while the other strikes, or both may practice techniques on each other: We ran partner drills for an hour before sparring.
The format allows practicing moves that require a human target or resistance.
