Breakdown of 1-2-3-Roll-3-2

Sequence Step	Move Type	Description and Purpose
Phase 1: Offensive Entry (1-2-3)		This initial trio of punches establishes rhythm, measures distance, and forces the opponent to raise their guard.
1 (Jab)	Setup Punch	The combination begins with the jab, a quick, straight punch thrown with your lead hand. The jab is not a power punch, but is used to measure distance, disrupt your opponent's rhythm, and create an opening. Mechanics involve rotating the front hip into the back leg and lifting the front heel.
2 (Straight Back Hand)	Power Punch	This is the power punch, thrown immediately after the jab with your rear hand. It derives its force from the rotation of your hips and torso. The arm should be extended about 90–95%, maintaining a slight bend in the elbow.
3 (Front Hook)	Offensive Continuation	Thrown with the lead hand, this hook is used to maintain rhythm and attack from an angle the opponent may not be expecting. To execute properly, align the elbow with the wrist and let the shoulder blade rotate for full extension.
Phase 2: Defensive Evasion and Coil (Roll)		After the offensive burst, this defensive movement anticipates and evades the opponent’s counter while setting up the return fire.
Roll	Defense/Setup	This defensive head movement evades the opponent’s anticipated counter (likely a straight) by moving your head off the centerline. It is performed by bending your knees and lowering your level, moving your upper body in a U-shaped motion towards your front side. This is a critical movement because it loads your hips and core, coiling your body like a spring for the next attack.
Phase 3: Counter-Offense Finish (3-2)		This powerful counter sequence capitalizes on the momentum generated by the roll and the opponent's exposed position.
3 (Front Hook)	Counter-Offense	Fired immediately as you come up out of the roll. The momentum and weight transfer from the preceding roll is leveraged for more force. This punch attacks from an angle the opponent isn't expecting.
2 (Straight Back Hand)	Power Finish	The combination finishes strong with a final straight back hand. This punch is thrown to catch the opponent as they turn or adjust to defend the preceding hook. The momentum from the prior movements helps generate rotational force for this final power shot.
