Jab-Front Hook Body-Back Upper-Roll-Back Hook Body-Roll-Front Hook Body

This combination, Jab-Front Hook Body-Back Upper-Roll-Back Hook Body-Roll-Front Hook Body, is a highly advanced, continuous sequence that employs a level change and vertical assault to disrupt the opponent, followed by sequential defensive evasions (Rolls) leveraged directly to generate powerful, sustained body counter-attacks. It emphasizes continuous flow and exploiting the opponent’s compromised guard.

Phase 1: Foundational Entry and Level Change (Jab - Front Hook Body)

This sequence establishes distance and rhythm before immediately shifting the attack level to the body to exploit the opponent's high guard.

• Jab (1): The combination begins with the jab, a quick, straight punch thrown with your lead hand. It is the setup punch, not focused on power. Its primary purpose is to measure distance, disrupt the opponent’s rhythm, and create an opening by forcing them to raise their guard. Mechanically, you rotate your front hip into your back leg.
• Front Hook Body (Hook to the Body, Front Hand): Immediately following the jab, you execute a change in attack level by throwing a powerful hook with your lead hand aimed at the body. Since the initial attack forced the opponent to lift their guard, their body is now exposed. This punch is designed to catch the opponent completely off guard while they are defending high.

Phase 2: Vertical Assault and Power Reload (Back Upper)

This vertical strike exploits the opening created by the body shot, forcing the opponent to protect the head again before the defensive phase begins.

• Back Upper (Back Uppercut, Rear Hand): This is a powerful shot delivered with your dominant (rear) hand. It is designed to come "up the middle" and break through a tight guard. This vertical punch exploits the opening created when the opponent raises their gloves. To throw this power punch with the same hand immediately following the preceding strikes (a "reload"), you must quickly bend your knees, drop your hips, and fire your hand upward to re-engage your core and legs.

Phase 3: Evasion and First Body Counter (Roll - Back Hook Body)

This phase anticipates the opponent’s counter-attack and uses defensive movement to immediately launch a powerful return shot.

• Roll (Defensive Evasion and Coil): You anticipate the opponent’s counter (often a straight punch) and execute a defensive head movement by moving your head off the centerline. It is performed by bending your knees and lowering your level. This is a critical movement because it loads your hips and core, coiling your body like a spring for the next attack.
• Back Hook Body (Hook to the Body, Back Hand): Fired immediately as you come out of the Roll. Since the earlier attacks forced the guard high, the body is exposed. You throw a powerful hook with your back hand aimed at the body. The momentum and weight transfer from the preceding Roll is leveraged for more force in the body shot.

Phase 4: Continuous Evasion and Final Level-Change Finish (Roll - Front Hook Body)

This concluding phase uses a second defensive coil to avoid any follow-up counter and set up the final, level-changing blow.

• Roll (Continuous Defensive Movement): After landing the first body shot, you execute 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. This action is critical because it generally reloads your hips and core for the next attack. Furthermore, to effectively execute this continuous movement and prepare the body for the final counter from the opposite side, the second roll requires a reset of your hips in order to go to the other side.
• Front Hook Body (Hook to the Body, Front Hand): As you come out of the second roll, you are in a perfect position to finish the sequence. You throw a final front hook to the body with the lead hand. This shot is a powerful counter-attack delivered with a change in attack level. You leverage the momentum and weight transfer from the rolls for more force in this finishing shot.

This combination is a textbook example of leveraging defensive mechanics to maximize offensive output, operating like a continuous conveyor belt of power. The defensive Rolls function as the power source, ensuring the body is constantly reloading and transferring weight to deliver maximum force into the finishing body hooks.
