CHAPTER 7
COMBINATIONS
This chapter includes over 50 punch combinations that you
can incorporate when shadowboxing. Remember to pay
close attention to your footwork and technique as you
practice. Refer to previous chapters for more information on
mechanics and specific movements. Remember to retract
your hands after each punch.
COMBINATION 1
Jab, cross, hook
Turn your wrists on the jab and cross to connect your
knuckles to the target. Rotate around the waist to shift your
rear shoulder forward as you extend your rear arm and pivot
on the ball of the rear foot to throw the cross. Your feet
should be parallel to each other, pointing toward the target.
Lift and lock your lead elbow at about 90 degrees, then
rotate around the waist, squaring your hips toward the
target, to throw the hook.
COMBINATION 2
Cross, hook, cross
To throw the hook, lift and lock your lead elbow at about 90
degrees, then rotate around the waist, squaring your hips
toward the target. Remember not to over-rotate, as this will
decrease the impact of your punch.
