This combination, Double Jab-Overhand-Front Upper-Roll-3-Step Pivot-2, is a dynamic, high-volume sequence that overwhelms the opponent with varying angles of attack—straight, looping, and vertical—before utilizing defensive movement and footwork to create a dominant angle for a final power finish.
Phase 1: Overwhelming Entry and Vertical Assault (Double Jab - Overhand - Front Upper)
The sequence begins by establishing control with high-volume straight punches before immediately transitioning to heavy artillery that attacks the opponent's guard from multiple dimensions.
- Double Jab (1-1): You start with two quick, straight punches from your lead hand. The jab is your primary tool to measure distance, disrupt the opponent's rhythm, and create an opening. By throwing the Double Jab, you force the opponent to freeze or raise their guard, establishing range and control before committing to your power shots.
- Overhand: Capitalizing on the distraction caused by the jabs, you throw a powerful, looping punch with your back hand. This punch is designed to come over the opponent's now-raised guard and land on the side of their head, such as the ear. The trajectory is distinct from a straight punch, making it highly disorienting.
- Front Upper (Front Uppercut): Immediately following the looping overhand, you switch the angle of attack again. Thrown with the lead hand, this punch is designed to come "up the middle" and break through a tight guard. If the Overhand forced the opponent to widen their guard or shell up, the uppercut exploits the center channel, forcing them to raise their guard even higher.
Phase 2: Defensive Coil and Momentum Transfer (Roll - 3)
After the initial offensive burst, this phase utilizes defensive head movement to evade return fire while simultaneously generating the torque needed for a powerful counter.
- Roll: You anticipate the opponent’s counter (typically a straight punch responding to your uppercut) and execute a defensive head movement by moving your head off the centerline. This movement is performed by bending your knees and lowering your level. Critically, the Roll loads your hips and core, coiling your body like a spring for the next attack.
- 3 (Front Hook): You fire this lead-hand hook immediately as you come out of the roll. This punch attacks from an angle the opponent isn't expecting. By connecting this directly to the defensive move, you leverage the momentum and weight transfer from the roll for more force.
Phase 3: Angle Change and Power Finish (Step Pivot - 2)
The combination concludes with advanced footwork that resets your position and creates a superior angle for the final knockout blow.
- Step Pivot: After landing the hook, you perform a step pivot to reset your stance. This involves stepping forward and pivoting (to your left for an orthodox fighter), which shifts your attack angle and puts you outside your opponent’s potential counters. This is a crucial move that gets you out of the danger zone and back into a strong, stable position while simultaneously reloading your back hand for the straight.
- 2 (Straight Back Hand): The sequence finishes with your most powerful weapon. As your opponent turns to find you after your pivot, you fire the straight back hand down the middle. You are now positioned on their exposed side, and they are caught completely off-guard as they try to realign, allowing you to finish the combo with authority.
