Round 2: Hook Finish Combinations / Level Changing Hooks

Before you start

• Ensure you are recovered from the 1-minute rest period.
• Re-establish your stance in front of the heavy bag.

Movement sequence

1. Throw any combination of punches you choose (e.g., 1-2, 1-1-2, jab-hook, body hooks).
2. strictly ensure that every single combination finishes with a hook.
3. Open up your speed and intensity slightly to the 70%-80% range.

Key points

• Does every combination conclude with a hook?
• Has the intensity increased to around 70%-80%?

Common mistakes

Ending combinations with a straight punch or an uppercut instead of a hook. Staying at the same slow warm-up pace as Round 1.

Practice notes

Experiment with mixing head and body hooks at the tail end of your combinations. Keep your hands up protecting your chin after throwing the finishing hook.
