Double Jab-2-Roll-Roll-3-2
The combination Double Jab-2-Roll-Roll-3-2 is an advanced sequence that integrates aggressive, high-volume lead-hand entry, a power follow-up, sequential defensive evasions, and a powerful, rhythmic counter-offense finish. It emphasizes establishing control, leveraging defensive movement to generate power, and maintaining continuous flow.
Phase 1: Aggressive Entry and Power Follow-up (Double Jab - 2)
This phase establishes range and control using the lead hand before immediately committing to the primary power punch.
- Double Jab (1-1): The combination begins with two quick, straight punches from your lead hand. The jab's purpose is to measure distance, disrupt the opponent's rhythm, and create an opening. By throwing the Double Jab, you force the opponent to react and raise their guard, establishing range and control before committing to power. The Double Jab is often described as the perfect finishing touch for an entry.
- Straight Back Hand (2): Immediately following the jabs, you throw your power punch with the rear hand. This punch is delivered straight down the middle, aiming to land with full force while the opponent's attention is still focused on defending the rapid lead-hand work. Its force is derived from the rotation of your hips and torso.
Phase 2: Sequential Defensive Evasion and Coil (Roll - Roll)
This crucial phase anticipates the opponent’s counter after your aggressive burst, neutralizing their attack while simultaneously generating energy for the powerful return fire.
- Roll (First Roll): After throwing the straight (2), you anticipate the opponent’s counter-punch (often a straight). You execute this defensive head movement by moving your head off the centerline. It is performed by bending your knees and lowering your level. This defensive movement is critical because it loads your hips and core, coiling your body like a spring for the next attack.
- Roll (Second Roll): You immediately follow with a second Roll. This continuous defensive motion allows you to evade any attempted follow-up counter and keeps your opponent guessing while you remain defensively responsible. Critically, this action reloads your hips and core for the next attack.
Phase 3: Counter-Offense Finish (3 - 2)
This powerful sequence capitalizes on the stored momentum from the sequential rolls and the opponent's resulting vulnerability.
- Front Hook (3): You fire this lead-hand hook immediately as you come out of the second roll. This punch attacks from an angle the opponent isn't expecting. Proper execution involves focusing on extending fully by aligning the elbow with the wrist and letting the shoulder blade rotate.
- Straight Back Hand (2): The combination finishes strong with a final power punch. This punch is thrown to catch the opponent as they turn or adjust to defend the preceding hook, leveraging momentum to generate rotational force and conclude the sequence with authority.
This combination acts like a lightning strike sequence. The initial high-volume jabs and the 2 force the opponent to react aggressively. The consecutive Rolls function as the coil, ensuring the body is constantly reloading and transferring the stored weight to deliver the 3-2 counter-attack with maximum force.
