1-2-Front Hook Body-Back Hook Body

• 1-2 (Jab-Straight): The SetupThe combination begins with the foundational 1-2, or jab-straight. You start with the jab (1), a quick, straight punch with your lead hand. The purpose of the jab is not raw power, but to measure distance, disrupt your opponent's rhythm, and create an opening. It's the setup punch that makes all other punches possible. You immediately follow with the straight back hand (2), your power punch, which gets its force from the rotation of your hips and torso. The primary goal of this initial 1-2 is to force your opponent to react by raising their guard to protect their head, making them anticipate more punches "down the middle".

• Front Hook Body: The Level ChangeWith your opponent's guard lifted to defend against the 1-2, their body is now exposed. You immediately capitalize on this by changing levels and throwing a powerful front hook to the body with your lead hand. This punch should target a sensitive area, such as the liver, to maximize its effect. This change in attack level from the head to the body is designed to catch your opponent completely off guard while they are still defending high.

• Back Hook Body: The Power FinishWithout pausing, you follow the front body hook with another powerful hook, this time with your back hand to the body. This second body shot continues the assault on the opening you created. By attacking the body with two consecutive hooks from different angles, you keep your opponent guessing and off-balance. This follow-up punch capitalizes on their compromised guard and any off-balance position created by the first body shot. This two-punch body assault finishes the combination with authority, capitalizing on the opponent's vulnerability.
