Post-Combination Step-Back Defense

Execute a punch or combination on the heavy bag and immediately perform an evasive step-back on the balls of your feet to exit range.

Key points

  • Land punches on the balls of your feet to enable an instantaneous backward push-off
  • Push off the lead foot to step the rear foot back into a safe defensive range
  • Maintain shoulder-width stance at all times; never bring feet together during retreat

Common mistakes

Bringing feet together when stepping back, leaving you completely off-balance and vulnerable.
