Video Breakdown

Round 1

Round 1 is jabs only.

All you're throwing is jabs. Single jabs, double jabs, pawing jabs.

Throw them with good offense, defense, speed, snap and precision.

Round 2

Round 2 are crosses only.

Throw your power crosses, flash crosses straight down the pipe.

Keep your chin down, bring your opposite hand back to your chin and don’t loop your crosses on the way back.

Tight technique.

When punching for power: twist your body and your hips. Punch through the bag, not at the bag.

Round 3

Round 3 are lead hooks to the head only.

Focus on throwing on either: tight, close in lead hook or extended lead hook.

Both hooks are important.

Whichever one you throw depends on the distance from the bag. But drill both types.

Lead hook to the head can also be thrown as a power punch or a quick flash punch.

Difference between the two are covered here.

Remember: for power lead hooks you need to rotate on each shot with your legs, hips and torso. No winding up. Power is generated from your body, not from your arm alone.

Round 4

Round 4 are rear uppercuts only.

Focus on throwing rear uppercuts to the head.

For rear uppercuts you can also throw two different versions: tight, in-close or extended as well as focusing on power or flash uppercuts.

With power uppercuts, make sure to rotate and drive with your legs and torso to generate that power.

Keep yourself protected. Hands up, chin down and elbows in.

Round 5

Round 5 through 10 you’ll begin to combine all the punches into combinations.

Round 5 is focused on jabs only. But not individual jabs like in round 1 but jabs as combinations. Using the jabs offensively as if it’s the only punch you can throw to win a fight.

These should be all different type of jabs: single, double, power and pawing.

Round 6

Round 6 is a 2-punch combination.

Jab > Cross.

This is the only combination you throw the entire round.

You could mix it up by throwing few jabs to break rhythm. But focus is on jab > cross combination.

Round 7

Round 7 is a 3-punch combo.

Jab > Cross > Lead Hook to the Head.

You are now introducing a third punch into the mix, a lead hook to the head.

This entire round should be nothing else but jab > cross > lead hook.

More punches you throw in a single combination, the more sloppy you tend to get. It becomes very important to drill with correct technique on every single strike.

Bringing the hands back to your chin, keeping your chin down, feet planted as you throw and moving after each combo.

Round 8

Round 8 is 4-punch combo.

Jab > Cross > Lead Hook (Head) > Rear Uppercut.

The fundamental 4 punches combined into 4-punch combination.

Because you're throwing more than two punches, make sure to throw each with no break of rhythm.

Keep technique tight, body mechanics correct and after each combination - MOVE.

Round 9 and 10

For round 9 and 10 you are going to freestyle.

Throwing all the punches and all combinations in a single round.

There is no predetermined punch or predetermined combination you are throwing. You are simply freestyling and throwing whichever one you need to throw at that exact moment of time.

For 2 rounds, you freestyle.
