That felt good. Let's do it again.
Let's do it again. I like that.
All right.
So ten punch combination there in this video, we're going to break it right down.
We're going to show you exactly what we were doing and why we're doing it.

All right, let's get into it.
So this ten punch combination we would put
in together three things to make one combination.
So the first thing we're going to start off with is a pretty standard combination.
We're going to go one, two, hook, two, one, two, hook, two. Right.
That's what we're going to start with.
So four punches to start from there, we're going to double up the jab.
So we're going to add that in. So we're going to go one, two, hook two.
Then we've got the double jab from there. Right.
Then we're going to add the cross.
So we've got the one, two, hook two.
That's part one, part two is the jab, jab, two.
So let's put the first two parts together slowly.
So part one, one two, hook, two, jab, jab two is part two.
And then from there, I always like to finish combinations on the lead hook.
Couple of reasons for that.
We'll get into in a second.
But the third part, we're going to finish with a hook, cross hook.
So after that, jab, jab two,
we're going hook, cross hook, finishing on that lead hook.
So when we put it all together, part one, one, two
hook two, part two, jab jab two, part three, hook, cross hook.
Now, when we flow all that together, one, two, hook, two.
Jab jab two, hook, cross hook.
It's a ten punch combination.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. All right.
So why do we want to finish on the hook?
Couple of reasons?
Number one, it's an awkward punch
for a lot of people, so always finishing on the hooks.
It just helps practice drill that technique.
So getting people to finish on the hook,
turning the hips, turning the feet, keeping that core engaged, elbow up.
We can practice all the things we need to to perfect that lead hook.
So finishing up your combos on the hook is
always a good thing. Now in real boxing as well, it's always good to end on the hook,
too, because if you end on the cross, it's bringing your head into range.
It's putting your body closer to your opponent, right?
Yeah, it's a power punch, but it's bringing you closer to your opponent.
If you finish on a hook, it's kind of pulling your head and your
body away from your opponent and taking you out of range.
So it's always a safer option
for finishing your attacks is finishing on that hook, too.
So that's why I always like to finish on the hook.
Now, this is a long combination.
It's ten punches all put together, so you wouldn't use this in a fight.
Really, right. It's not going to be pulled out. (Yeah)
You're not going to land ten punches
in a fight, but you just never know what happens.
And it's great to help you with your muscle memory.
Throwing long punches,
long combinations because you never know when you might need it.
I've been in fights before when I flew four hooks across, another two hooks.
And that's a combination I never practiced, really.
But you just never know what you're going to do, what situation you're in because
in boxing, it's that split second of time where you're thrown without thinking. (Yep).
Or, for example, if you have an opponent
hurt and you need to just finish the job and get the knockout,
being able to put punches and combinations together is going to get that too, right.
Yeah, putting them together.
If your opponents on the ropes.
Then you just throw these combinations,
throw these punches, throw your hands and see what comes from it.
And because you've been practicing this combination
which is a great combination.
A realistic combination as well that can help you finish the fight off.
Yeah, I always like to think as well
if you've got good training behind you
and you're nailing these longer combinations and you've got good punch
variety when the opportunity in a fight does arise to throw a specific punch
and you need to punch boom, you can pull it off.
You can do it.
So one more time in terms of the coaching
side right here, I always talk about keeping a realistic target.
So when you are catching these punches or you're working with your coach,
make sure your coach is keeping those mitts nice and realistic.
You don't want to be getting too wide like this.
We see that a lot in boxing fitness,
where coaches are doing a lot of wide work like this.
Watch when I catch the punch
now, the mitts are nice and narrow,
and I'm keeping the range perfectly for the boxer, too.
So one more time, one, two, hook, two jab
jab, two, hook, cross hook.
See, I'm in this zone right here.
I'm not getting too wide.
I'm not getting too close.
I'm not getting too far back.
I'm allowing them to fully extend on the straight punches and keeping a good
amount of resistance in there so he can really crack those punches.
Another thing, what's great about this,
other than the benefits we talked about earlier on is how good it feels for a boxer.
When I'm big. Ba Ba, Ba, Ba
Ba, long combinations like that, it makes me feel good when I'm landing them clean.
And I'm hearing that perfect, crisp landing punch on the mitt.
It just makes your boxer or you with your other boxer feel better about doing that?
Yeah, just building that confidence. Definitely.
All right.
