Step 1
Start your attack facing your opponent in the boxer's stance with legs shoulder width apart, one leg forward, shoulders turned, arms up and hands loosely clinched.
-
Step 2
Throw a quick left jab at the head with a snapping motion. Clench your fist tightly at impact. The jab is a fast straight punch like the strike of a snake, out fast and back in fast.
-
Step 3
Add a hard right cross by throwing a right punch diagonally across your body toward your opponent's left jaw. You deliver this straight, driving punch by pushing off your left foot and putting your shoulder into it. Pull back quickly to set up for the next punch.
-
Step 4
Come around with a left hook aimed at your target's right jaw. This is a round house kind of punch that comes in from the side. If your right cross was effective, he'll be moving into it, still reacting to the cross.
-
Step 5
Set up for the final blow in the combination, the kick. Transfer your weight to your right foot and kick with your left so your left shin catches your opponent at the back of the upper leg where the femoral nerve runs down the leg. This can be a paralyzing blow if you place it properly.
-
Step 6
Count the rhythm of this combination in your head as you go through it. It's all very fast, but the count is 1, 2, 3 and 4. The extra half count between 3 and 4 is because the kick takes longer to execute than the punches.
