This combination, Jab-Front Upper-2 to Body, utilizes the foundational setup punch (the Jab) to facilitate a lead-hand uppercut to the head, and then follows up by capitalizing on the opponent’s raised guard with a powerful straight punch targeting the body.
Step | Move | Description and Purpose | Key Mechanics |
1 | Jab (1) | The combination begins with the Jab (1), thrown with the lead hand. Its primary purpose is not raw power, but to act as the setup punch. It is used to measure distance and disrupt the opponent's rhythm, often forcing them to raise their guard. | Rotate your front hip into your back leg and extend your front hand straight down the middle. Aim for about 90% extension. |
2 | Front Uppercut | This punch immediately follows the jab, delivered with the lead hand. It is designed to attack from a different angle and come "up the middle" to break through a tight guard. Landing the uppercut forces the opponent to raise their guard even higher. | Uppercuts generally require quickly bending your knees, dropping your hips, and firing your hand upward to generate power. |
3 | Straight Back Hand to the Body (2 to Body) | This is the power finish of the sequence, thrown with the rear hand. Because the preceding head attacks (the Jab and Front Uppercut) have forced the opponent's guard high, their body is now exposed. You immediately capitalize on this vulnerability by changing levels and delivering the straight punch to the body. This level change is designed to catch your opponent completely off guard. | Power is generated from the rotation of your hips and torso. Aim for full extension (90–95%). |
