Punches & Combinations guides
The Jab: Range, Timing, and Purpose
The jab is a measuring instrument that happens to hurt. Understanding what it is for changes how you throw it.
The Cross: Rotation, Weight Transfer, and Recovery
Power in the cross comes from the ground and the hips, not the arm. The hard part is getting back to your stance afterwards.
Hook Mechanics: Elbow Height and Hip Drive
A hook is a rotation that a fist happens to be attached to. Elbow height and range control decide whether it works.
The Uppercut: Space, Angle, and Setup
The uppercut needs space it does not create for itself. Learn the setups that manufacture the gap.

Combinations are not sequences you memorise — they are answers to what the opponent does after the first punch.
