Chapter Five:

Basic Combinations

A solid boxing offense includes an array of punches that
can be effectively thrown in combination with one
another. In other words, two or more punches properly
delivered in a given attack are usually better than one.

Double and Triple Jabs
These are simply jabs thrown one after the other. Care
must be taken to recover properly after each one in
order to maximize power. This is an effective way to
deliver a bunch of punches safely from a distance.

One-Two
That’s right.This is the original one-two punch combo of
sport literary and celluloid fame. The combination
includes a jab followed by a straight right. The classic
goal is to land a clean jab at the head that lifts the chin
so that you can rock it with a hard right hand.

The left jab is thrown as described (SNAP!),recovered to
guard, then the straight right is immediately launched
(SNAP!) and recovered to guard.Throughout the action
and after,you should feel solid over your feet.Otherwise,
you’re probably reaching or not recovering properly.
