Front Upper-Overhand: The combination starts with two punches that come from different angles. You begin with a front uppercut, thrown with your lead hand. As this punch lands, it forces your opponent to raise their guard, creating an opening. You immediately follow with an overhand—a powerful, looping punch from your back hand that comes over your opponent's now-raised guard and lands on the side of their head around their ear. This one-two attack from high and low angles is designed to be disorienting and work around your opponent’s guard.
Slip: After throwing the overhand, you anticipate a quick counter. You immediately perform a slip to your back side (right for an orthodox fighter), shifting your head off the centerline. This defensive move creates a moment of evasion and sets up your next attack.
Back Upper-3: As you slip, you deliver a back uppercut with your dominant hand. This punch comes from the side you just slipped to, catching your opponent as they are open, either coming up the middle or to the side of the body. You then follow up with a front hook (3), which is a quick, lead-hand punch that attacks from the other side, further confusing your opponent.
Slip: The combination ends with another defensive move. As you finish the front hook, you immediately perform another slip, this time to your front side. This gets your head out of the way of any last-ditch counter-punch your opponent might throw and allows you to continue to action, going right back into your lead upper.
Great combination to practice continuous flow with consistent weight shift and punches into head movement.
