Body Shot Combos

For body shot combos, focus mitts can be used; however, using a focus pad might be more comfortable. A focus pad has a larger surface area and so you may find that striking it is easier, especially for body shots. Pacific Sports also sells high-quality focus pads.

Jab → Cross → Left Hook to the Body → Cross

Cross → Right Hook to the Body → Left Hook to the Head

Speed and Volume Combos

After you master the punching technique, you can concentrate on speed and volume. Volume signifies the number of punches delivered within a specified time. Try to increase the volume without increasing the time. If the volume increases, then the speed will also increase. Delivering a high number of successive punches within a fixed time can increase speed.

Jab → Cross → Hook → Cross → Jab → Uppercut

Rapid Hooks (Left → Right → Left) or Rapid Uppercuts

Power Shot Combos

For knockouts, also practice some power shot combos. For knockouts, range has to be correct, timing has to be perfect, accuracy has to be pinpoint, speed has to be fast, and power has to be forceful. All these can be practiced with power shot combos.

Double Jab → Overhand Right

Lead Uppercut → Hook → Cross

Jab → Uppercut

The above combos can be practiced with focus mitts. For body shots you may use focus pads. Try to combine effective footwork so that you can simulate real situations. Understand the rhythm of the combos and apply it with great timing. Develop reaction speed as you flow in rhythm with your partner. Between punches, mix in some defensive elements like ducks, slips, blocks, and dodges. Have fun while practicing as the more fun you have, the faster will you improve.
