Drop Step Rear Cross (Orthodox)

Step the rear right foot backward about six inches while rotating the hips and shoulders to deliver a straight right hand, then push back up into your initial guard.

Key points

  • Time the impact of the rear cross precisely as the rear foot touches down
  • Rotate hips and torso while keeping the lead hand pinned to the cheek
  • Drive straight through the center line and snap the punch back without dropping the elbow

Common mistakes

Arm punching without driving rotation through the hips and rear foot contact.
