Combo 2: Jab-Cross-Head Hook to Lead Body Hook (1-2-3 Up, 3 Down) / Head-to-Body Level Shift

Before you start

• Maintain a boxing stance facing the bag or opponent

Movement sequence

1. Throw a long jab
2. Throw a shortened right hand
3. Touch softly upstairs with a left hook to the head
4. Whip the left hook to the body after the opponent's hands come up

Key points

• Ensure the first three punches land upstairs to draw the opponent's hands up to protect their head

Common mistakes

Rushing the head punches without making them look convincing enough to raise the guard

Practice notes

Practice consistently to transition smoothly from head punches to the body shot.
