Combo 4: Jab, Lean Back (Pull Counter Defense) to 1-2-1 Forward Rush / Counter Range Control

Before you start

• Be in range to throw an initial jab

Movement sequence

1. Throw a jab
2. Lean back to defend against the opponent's counter punch
3. Step forward and throw a 1-2-1 combination (jab, cross, jab) while cutting down the distance

Key points

• Maintain rhythm during the forward 1-2-1 push (back, back, back / forward flow)

Common mistakes

Failing to step forward as the opponent retreats, missing the distance for the 1-2-1

Practice notes

Ideal for closing the distance when an opponent tries to step back after being countered.
