Boxing Combinations and Counts
All lead hand punches are odd numbered and all rear hand punches are even numbered. Just remember that all combos listed are basic ideas. Do what works for you! Just try to keep the punches flowing and try to put your combinations together smoothly. When working the bag using combinations, remember the following: Keep moving your head, keep up your defense, move in fast, move out fast, and work the jab as your main punch. Work the jab moving in and moving out. Throw many thousands of combinations to perfect what works for you, and to learn how to mix things up. Remember to incorporate feints and traps into your combinations, as you improve. For instance, bait their jab, slip and feint a 9 to draw their guard down for a block. Move in as you feint and launch a high combination.
