Removing the Doubt or Reluctance of Fighting

[Monkey Turned Wolf]

It's a pretty simple one. I keep my right hand (strong hand) forward normally.

Throw a jab cross, the cross isn't meant to land but with hands open to cover their eyes. Long diagonal step, twist and squat to the right for a right hook to the body, that you break off halfway through for a right hook to the head. Important - weave your head during this part and duck (part of the reason for the squat), in case a counter comes.

Most of the time the simply going from left cross to the right side of their body, and the sudden down then up motion is enough to get a good right hook to the face. But just in case, while doing the right hook feint/strike, a looping overhead smash with the left hand comes around. So now they've gone left to right, up to down to up, and left again. And most people aren't looking for a looping strike after traditional boxing strikes as well.

If the right hook lands I pull my hand back and don't finish the smash, if it doesn't land I follow through with it.

With the looping strike, I normally have my left hand in guard position as I step in for the hook, and only throw it once I know that I'm not about to eat another strike to my face first. Because obviously if you get punched in the face first that kinda kills the momentum.

I'm not sure I'm explaining this fully right. My wife's travelling for the moment but if you reply to this Monday I can have her take a video of me explaining it on a heavy bag better. It's not nearly as complicated as that first post makes it sound, and I'm sure you've trained something similar at some point. I just train it a lot to make it as smooth as possible.

Thank you. Awesome. Yes I would love to see it if you have time.

a right hook to the body, that you break off halfway through for a right hook to the head.

I like the same arm low hook followed with high hook combo. The same arm 3 hooks (low, middle, high) combo exist in my praying mantis summary form. The same arm 3 hooks combo is also the 1st drill that I start to do for my daily 4 miles walk/train. Since I'm doing just one arm at a time, I can control my punching space not to hit anybody who tries to pass by me on the trail.

This is the 1st thing that I do for my daily training. It helps me to loose up my upper body.

Same arm double hooks:



This is also one of my favor "mirror stance" entering strategy. I can sense exactly where my opponent's arms are (in order to achieve safe entering).

I like this but I use front leg sweep instead of kick

I agree that foot sweep is better than low roundhouse kick when your hand can reach to your opponent's shoulder.

Sometime people do a low roundhouse kick just trying to hurt his opponent's leg. By adding a shoulder pulling (or even without shoulder pulling), that roundhouse kick can be used for foot sweep take down instead.

I like to inner hook my opponent's leading leg and then shin bite his back leg.
