Your videos are great. You don't have that cocky way of teaching like a lot of them do. It makes me have a respect, and want to learn from you. Thanks again bro.
David Carter thx Dave, I have respect for anyone who wants to get into boxing or full contact martial arts, the dedication and hard work it takes says a lot about a person
JT Van V I have "acquired" several boxing dvd series, since I started recently. I can truthfully say I wasted my time, should have just found your channel sooner. It surprised my that there were great jiu jitsu dvds (serra, gracie barra, etc) Muay thai (Rob Kaiman, Razor Rob, etc), but so many lackluster boxing dvds. If you were not such a great guy you could easily monetize your instruction.
it doesn't really take away from him being a great guy by monetizing his instruction. he obviously spends countless hours and has immense personal passion for the sport and teaching. the quality and value of his channel is awesome and i certainly appreciate having access to the content for free but JT deserves and nothing wrong with gettin paid for doing something you love and sucha great service to others. I know what u mean though.
For anyone looking for a great combo, my favorite is a 1 1 2 to the body 3 back up top with a straight right following the hook. Took it from Pacquiao when he knocked down Keith Thurman. Great for pushing them back fast and dropping them as they are retreating
#1 right uppercut, left hook, roll, left hook (infight or at a distance) #2 straight left, right uppercut, left hook, straight right, look for an opening then come with another straight right (going back or walking forward) #3 straight right, left hook (roll, left bodyuppercut, left uppercut) so many things you can do with these combination (adding more punches, rolls etc.
1. Twisting jab - right uppercut (the twisting jab splits open the guard for your uppercut). 2. Jab - right straight to the body - left hook/left uppercut (by a shot to the body, the hands go low, then comes your hook/uppercut). 3. Catch the jab - counter with a right straight/right hook (try to push his jab down to counter with a right straight/right hook). 4. Jab - left hook - right hook. (you're going to step in when you want to throw the left hook). 5. Jab - right uppercut - left hook - right hook. In kickboxing I would always follow all these combos up with a livershot and finish it with a good right low-kick to end my typical Dutch Style kickboxing combo (accept at #2). If you make them on full speed with good timing, they will be effective for sure :)
1) jab, jab, overhead right. 2) jab, cross, slip, circle, left hook to the body, right hook to the head. 3) fake left hook to the body, right hook to the head, left hook to the head. And thank you for these videos, simply superb! :)
Another great video JT Van V ! I mainly use two simple combos: -jab to the body then follow it straight up with the jab cross to the head. -Slip the right cross, then hop with both feet to get in close and give them a sharp left rip to the body followed by a quick uppercut. Changed it a little after watching your gazelle punch video. Works a treat as I love counter punching and the footwork you showed makes it even easier! Thanks mate!
Your tutorials are brilliant... learning so much and it's showing in my training... Thank you very much for making those tutorials and making them available for everyone. Much appreciated...! Nadja
1. Jab, Cross, Left upper cut cross..Bread and butter. This combo opens up so many opportunities to land more shots its crazy. 2. Double jab, Cross to solar plexus while slipping to the left, left hook body, left hook head, finish with cross 3. Jab, Cross followed immediately with a backfist, while coming through with backfist I switch stance and come through with left overhand, right upper to body, spinning back elbow/fist. I personally like to overwhelm people with speed, constant striking and change of levels. Its a pretty effective method. It works beautifully for me. By the way, I appreciate you JT. Your tips are super helpful.You have truly helped my boxing big time.
I took Thai boxing first and really wish I had not. Ether way I prefer the t-stance over the boxers stance. But Thai boxers rely less on fists and more on the whole body. I consider boxing the sister of Thai boxing since they are so interchangeable.
I'm only just starting with boxing (3-4 months in...) coming from Ving Tsun and I must say, this channel is great for breaking some things down. I've learned a lot so far and hopefully I will be able to make more out of your instructional videos as I move along. Great job JT, keep going!
Great video. I'm a huge fan of a good ole 1-2, changing levels with the hooks, and finishing with an uppercut. Basically working the jab, and working it some more, setting them up for a wonderful surprise.
mma background - so my 3 favorites are - 1) jab, cross (doesn't have to land more of a distraction) then throw the right body kick almost at the same time. 2) Against the cage. jab, cross, left body shot, cross 3) side step to left to get an angle as I jab, right kick across the body since I'm at an angle. I land this everytime I spar.
At 47 I'm starting boxing to get fit and maybe have the odd match as it's a bit of an itch to scratch, you have a great teaching style, humble, modest but obviously professional. Thanks for the videos
1: orthodox- jab, right cross, step to the left, and liver shot and finish with hook up top, this mostly works when u chase your opponent down towards the ropes 2: speed punches with jab and body jab, and then right cross body and then explode up top 3: fury with left hand: play with jab, hooks and body shots
I haven't thought of favorite combos specifically, but what I find myself doing on the bag a lot is a left jab, right cross, slip to the outside followed by a left hook to the body and a right overhand to the head. Not sure why I do it, but I fire that off a lot faster than anything else and instinctively.
1. jab-jab-jab with a step circling around to his left on each jab. 2. backpedalling in a circle around him to the left, then flip a jab up at his chin without breaking stride, hard cross to the body 3. "right hook" (slapping his lead hand down with my rear hand) roll over the top of it with a cross
left jab right cross left hook slip then right uppercut. left jab left jab then hard right hook switch to southpaw then jump forward with a left uppercut then switch back to orthodox and right hand.
Great vid man. Really clear thinking. 1) fake the jab then right cross body shot with shuffle slip to close distance then left body hook then left head hook 2) jab, right long cross, right short cross, sometimes catches opponent unaware 3) jab or double jab to close distance then right body hook, left body hook
South Paw here: Drilled into me when I was taught by Kevin Barry Jr - boxing coach of David Tua/Joseph Parker... right jab followed by double left hook (either 2 to the body or body/head).
I don’t go to a gym I only use the bag in my back yard. My favorite combo is Jab, cross, hook body, cross, head kick. It’d have to be that or jab, jab, cross, left hook, cross, jab, knee.
i love to hook off the jab, and make it look slow and predictable, only to get them really focusing on the hook and trying to counter me, so i can come with my right, but also if i make the hook nice and short it keeps the guy form countering over my jab me being the usually shorter fighter, but 1 2 1 step back 2 3, or since i use the tyson peek a boo , so i jab, slip left (double it if needed), left shovel body then left hook, great video
tyler jones great example of doubling the hook not for speed but deception and timing is ggg vs stevens first knockdown, beautifil, but in terms of speed watch floyds triple left hooks esp early in his career, my god still the most amazing thing ive ever seen in boxing in terms of a skill
Thanks, as always, for your video. My favourite 3 are: 1,1,3,4body - I'm generally on the outside as a counterpuncher but use this as a fairly standard way of closing the gap and setting up some pressure. 1,1body,8,7 - have a lot of success chasing down with this and love the shovel hook 1 (slip right),6,3,4body,4body,3 - Love using this when he's on the ropes and I'm pressuring. Tend to roll off of the last hook and step back to the outside. Thanks again man, Peace.
Orthodox: 1st:right uppercut, left hook, straight right. 2nd:overhand right dropping down to throw left hook to body then left hook to head 3rd: Jab ,left hook ,right uppercut ,straight right
Straight left to head---straight right to head---dip and throw left hook to body then finish with right and left hooks to the head....When I was a teenager growing up in South Philadelphia, I used to go to the YMCA in center city, and get in the ring with guys who were training for fights. I got my ass kicked, but I learned how to defend myself on the street. I trained like a boxer until my late forties, and was in fabulous shape. Great on the speed and heave bags, and could jump with a cable rope all day long. Now I'm retired and sixty-six and using your videos to get my aging body in better condition. The Evasive Steps video is great for me, especially if some young wise guy wants to knock the crap out of me. Fighting at my age is a no-no; so getting the hell out of the way is the best way to go. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You're a fabulous guy.
Just wanna thank you for making videos. I'm 16 I've been boxing for 3 months and I love to learn more but my trainer is also training so he's busy I watch these then go back to the gym the next day and work on them. I'm gonna surprise him when we spar on Friday with these new combos.
I like the Jab - Left Hook - Right Cross, the jab and the left hook just to set up the right cross. (Jab and left hook with normal speed, and then speed up after the left hook exploding the rotation with the right cross) Another that i use a lot is the simple Jab feint to the head - Right cross to the body (Or Jab feint and then a jab do the body) I also like the Jab (Stepping a little to the left/inside) - feint right cross (Turning the body with the feint) - Left Uppercut to the body, (you can also finish this throwing the Left Uppercut to the Body and come up with a Left Hook to the head) *All from orthodox stance.
+Mariusz Pawlukowiec you should use numbers or indicate which hand is hooking/uppercutting. Also its normally called a cross (unless your referring to an overhand right?)
Mario J. Pav really?? what mma gyms are you training at? I've trained with some of the top MMA guys in the world for over 15 years and, yes, sometimes they call out the actual strike but ANYONE worth their salt will know the difference between a 2 and an 8. I'm guessing your somewhat of a novice and there is NOTHING wrong with that. Dude was just trying to give you info. Just chill, take the advice. use it, and continue kicking ass!!
Hanes MMA Don't judge someone fighting skills based on youtube comment. He might be the best fighter in existence that just need a little bit hype, or he could be just more or less equally to you. Control your emotion and defense instinct on internet, you'll only realized when it is about 300 replies per week in the section. :p
Hi, I find your explanations clear and simple for really effective techniques. The first combo I've learned and still put in practice is left head, right to body and left hook. Works fine for me. Thanks for your vids, I use them a lot for my learning (I am a 35 old beginner).
jab, right, left uppercut, over hand right landing to the bridge of nose this is a powerful combination, best used when opponents already been slowed by body shots. jab, left hook jab. all lead hand orthodox. only for fighters with longer reach. dont try it vice versa you will get hit unless you make it a counterattack or throw whilst angling and closing.
+JT Van V Yeah! Awesome videos - I'm at a gym with trainers but they don't guide me in some of the ways your videos do. Your tips have helped me tremendously. Keep them coming!
I'm really new to boxing, but my favourite combos so far that I'm decent with is to slip down to the left - left to the body - left hook - straight right. Or a quick 1-2 up top followed by a strong left to the body, then spinning clockwise to the left. Thanks for the videos man, really helping me get started from home :) Peace
when im being smothered or the guys keeping good pressure on me and not much room, i like to throw a 6 3 2 or 5 2 3 i call it the get the fuck off me combo. im long so i dont like to be there but when i am the "get the fuck off me" combos seems to work or at least create space to get out.
#3 Double jab to an overhand right or right cross. So many people instinctively lean away from the first two jabs, they invite that right hand in while they're off balance and unsuspecting. #2 Just a simple 1-2-3. If I can time it right all three land really flush. #1 Fake the jab and throw the left hook. They try to slip to the outside of the jab and end up throwing their head right into the hook.
Double jab to the head-> big left to the solar plexus and slip right-> feint right hook to the head and slip left-> left uppercut to the solar plexus-> right hook to the head. My favorite!
1. slip right with left uppercut, straight right, left hook, straight right, double jab. 2. step in with left, right step out (to avoid counter) step in left right 3. can't remember anymore good ones. haven't boxed for years :)
Jas i love all the vids you post , im 55 and use it for my cardio workouts . hitting the heavy bag is so different now ..i actually look like a boxer. and the boxing lads say im doing well and who taught me..i direct them to you . many of them did not know to use the bands shown in one of your vids for power and asked me what its for so i showed them the vid itself...Much respect from the UK mate.
Great vid, Jason! As requested, here are three of my favourites... I'm a southpaw and my parent art is Muay Thai. However, I still tend to favour the jab as an initiating technique rather than a straight left. So, but hands only: 1. Double jab, pivot to the right and either left hook or left cross, dependent on distance. 2. If they have quite a tight guard: double jab (hopefully bringing their hands right up), left uppercut to the body and either a right hook to the head or an overhand left. 3. Jab, lead hook, left uppercut.
Also. If you want something effective then: First throw a hook with your non-dominate hand and if your opponent is an in-fighter and dodges that to go in for the kill, give him a short uppercut while he is under that hook
Finland Fox , everything is easyer said than done wen ur dealin wit a high exp fighter like myself, speed an reflexes are everything in a combat not so much the skills, words from the father of MMA an still the greatest to this day, Bruce Lee.
Thank you, JT Van V for your ideas and strategies. For me, as a southpaw, my best combinations that have been successful in my sparring and bouts are as follows: 1) Jab, Straight Left, Jab (going forward). Then step back and Jab (out of opponent's range). 2) With hands up, drop down and fire Straight Left to opponent's body; Right Hook and Straight Left to opponent's head 3) With hands up, step forward and Jab, Straight Left, Jab, Overhand Left, Right Upper Cut to to chin or through opponent's guard, and step back and Jab.
basic combos orthodox #1 jab to body, straight to head #2 left hook body, left uppercut head #3 jab, straight, uppercut, straight southpaw #1 jab, lead hand uppercut, straight #2 cross, cross stepping to the your right #3 uppercut, jab, straight remember to punch with your two knuckles and punch through the target
I don't understand why you would say that? Maybe if you're Mike Tyson and can do so? Otherwise I thought you would be shorting your punch and not getting full power.
-stiff jab/double jab,depending on his reaction to my initial feints,followed by R.cross-L.hook -Right straight body,followed by a looping left hook -slip jab followed by overhand right -For martial arts...Rear front kick,right jab while resurfacing into southpaw,left cross,right hook :D
My favorite combo is a right hook followed by a knee to the body and finishing off with a nice swift elbow. It always does the trick... But that's MMA not boxing :P
thank you very much JT Van. i stumbled across you via you tube about a year ago & liked th e way you broke stuff down as well. very simplistic and strait forward and you always seem to try to be as helpful as possible. you also seem to have a genuine passion for it that i can respect. i myself have been training for about 3 years. anyway keep up the great videos
+Angel King From what I've seen if you have a long reach, the jab and straight right are gonna be by far your best punches. Sometimes it's hard for somebody with long arms to get a hook (especially a left hook) around for max damage, but your straight punches will be deadly.
1. Jab + cross, then pivot out in a 45degree on my lead leg and fire that huge cross for the jaw, sometimes they block it, but it's still a huge shot to take. 2. If they try to get all up in my space I fire rear uppercut, lead hook and cross, sometimes I keep spamming lead hook and cross, shaking them up to get the distance. 3. If they have a space in the middle of their guard it has worked for me to southpaw and slip to the side and do a lead uppercut under their guard, comming up between their hands, they lower their hands and boom, big cross right on the jaw, if they usually take their one hand up again, not thinking, and I go big with the hook, then they bend over and close their guard entirely.
Left Jab, nose; straight right, jaw. Left front kick, jaw; left jab, nose; straight right jaw. Left jab, nose; straight right, jaw; left hook, jaw. Most everything I do is setup with the jab, or a kick. I can replace the straight right with an overhand right, or right cross; but usually the straight right does the job. Thanks for the videos!
this is helpful, I've done 6 years of karate and a few years of boxing. I have my first street fight in 8 weeks and since I'm in university and away from classes this is a good refresher
im a tall fighter so i love to base everything off the jab...like to keep it basic 1)Classic 1,2,3,3... but first 3 to the body, 2nd upstairs... 2)feint jab(to draw opp in or make reaction) counter fast 1,power 2. 3)feint jab, slip left, 3 downstairs then 3 downstairs again
JT Van thanks for asking;that alone got you a like. First off, I love this sport! I learned my first official combo from a boxing fitness training manual I studied out of the library;it was a six piece:jab,straight,lead uppercut,straight,lead hook, power uppercut.After practicing that for years I promised myself all of my combos will come from an admirable source.The next became a favorite because the former pro told me it was a knock out in the golden gloves.This five piece combo is lead uppercut 2x ,lead hook 2x, straight cross(knock out). Last one is an eight piece I observed my boxing hero Iron Mike use in training.Go find it!
I've been hitting drums for 36 years. I just recently started hitting a heavy bag for exercise and fitness. Your videos are a fantastic resource. Thank you for making them so easily available!!!!!
HA!! We obviously both like hitting things!!! I subscribed to your channel to learn more about boxing. Maybe if you subscribe to my channel you can learn more about drumming!!! I have 270+ drum covers on my channel. Thanks!!
My three favourite combos are: 1. Double jab, straight right (quick snapping jabs followed by a solid right down the pipe) 2. Jab, right uppercut (after throwing a series of jab, straight rights so he gets surprised) 3. Right uppercut, left hook to the body (uppercut adds more leverage/torque)
Three favorite Combos; -Jab, lead hook, overhand right -JabX2, 45 deg. Clockwise pivot step w/ straight right, lead body hook(D'Amato #5) -Jab to body, anti-clockwise 45 deg pivot step into his lead, (basically stepping into and under his lead arm) followed by a D'Amato #6 Basically I am a counter fighter now, I am old and fat and slow so I make them come to me. These have worked for me in an aggressive mode and defensive mode. Again, love the way you approach teaching, I have learned a lot and am grateful. I am buying your material as I can afford it, it is good stuff.
I tried the jab slip hook cross in sparring tonight and it worked not once, not twice but three times! I was so excited it worked I almost forgot to step back out!
Slip uppercut 1,2 2,1 Quadruple jab hook 1,2 left hook Right body left body right hook to the face left uppercut left jab or hook then slip with the right All the transition triple combos are the best because you can keep firing shots off. Overhand right left uppercut is one of my favorites Iv practice to many combos to list off in the last year iv been training to fight. I really like to work the body. Nice videos ur pretty fast! Watch out for me im coming also im working on making enough songs for a CD. Im coming soon I finally got my wheels an im mobile now.
I like right cross left hook right cross. As a personal trainer work alot of boxing into my workouts. Its not to difficult to combo learn and its great tool to teach pivoting distribution of weight and keeping hands ups. Anything with a jab jab start great for building strength confidence in the off arm and to start to learn about distance. Slip uppercuts to body because everyone natural mores away from punches its great way to teach beginner to get inside.
I think the best combo is a very quick 1-2. I work it so often that it is almost as fast as a double jab for me, but much more powerful. The jab is quick with good snap and low power, often doesn't connect but blinds. The 2 is ideally halfway there by the time the guy opens his eyes, and I make it direct, quick, and powerful, then I pull it back asap. If you really practice, you can double up on this combo, or use it in place of a double jab when you can. I have to use caution, though. It is more dangerous to throw than a double jab, because you open yourself when throwing a right hand. For that reason, I focus on being very quick and timed at slipping, ducking, and turning after the right hand when I feel exposed after the 1-2. I also like the jab followed by a right hook to the body. Here is when I like to use it. I throw a jab, expecting a counterpunch from the oppenent's right hand(This works best if the opponent isn't a southpaw). I usually come to expect this by reading the opponent and judging when he will counter that way. When it comes I roll under it as I throw the right hook to the body. This motion took a lot of practice on the bag and in sparring, and I took a lot of punches learning it :). But now that I have it, I love it. Because the opponent usually doesn't expect it the first time, you can land a devastating body shot if you are precise, and aware of how your opponent's body is turning (as they throw the right hand). From here, I like to uppercut to the chin with my left as I bring my right arm up to cover that side. This is really good sometimes, because of the way the opponent softens after the body shot (again, sometimes). You wouldn't believe how often the guy will loosen up and end up chomping on his tongue when I uppercut him. I also like a powerful straight left to the chin after the hook. But, the options are varied from the jab-body right hook setup, another reason why I like it. Lastly, I like a lead right hand followed by a left hook to the head (I am a bit of a head-hunter if you couldn't tell :) ). Again, it is a risky one. Leading right is always a risk. When I follow that with a left hook, I have to re-rotate my torso around the other way. So I open myself up two times. Here is how I make the combo work. 1st, I use speed. I think speed is the 3rd most important asset a boxer can have, below precision(2) and timing(1). The faster I can get this combo off, the less time I am opened. 2nd, I use it when I am confident that I am faster than my opponent. Usually, it is later in the fight when stamina becomes a factor, and at a time when I judge myself fresher than the other guy. 3rd, I absolutely have to connect on the lead right hand. I need that time when my opponent is stunned/yet to respond to get my lefty hook to his chin/eye before he can react. Sweet video man :)
1)Double jab to the head left hook to the body coming to an uppercut to the body slip then a right hand to the head(I do both stands orthodox and southpaw) 2) Double Jab to the body feint the third then go to a hook to the head ,cross, then ending with a body shot (most people will raise their hands to guard after the cross if not KOed already) 3)Southpaw stance, right jab get in with a mike tyson style hook to the body and uppercut to the head, ending with a stance switch then superman punch
Great vid! My fav one must be jab -pop out, pop back in quickly with a left hook, cross with a slip to the left/overhand right. It is kinda odd to go back with the same hand so most folks dont expect it, expecially when it breaks the rhythm after a jab-cross-left hook or smth
Thank you so much for your videos it helps alot I am working with a new fighter and it keeps things fresh .Keep them flowing your a great teacher too Mark Hebebrand
1) I like to use the 1-2 followed by a pivot and a rear power punch off the newly created angle. 2) Jab to the body with low posture followed by an overhead right, and then a left hook to the body/liver. 3) 1-2 again but this time when i pivot i throw a missile right hook to the body or as an overhand right. It depends on what targets are available when i initiate the combo. Id love to hear what you think about those JT
I'm new to boxing and I've caught up pretty quick thanks to your videos and endless work at home following your videos! Your form is completely amazing I'm jealous!
hey man! great vids you helped me alot before i found a decent coach.. ... love hearing honest no bull** chat about boxing without the attitude, here are my ..top three... these change depending on what im learning or who im fighting but at the moment the ones that are working for me: 1.semi-fake left jab to face -hard backhand body ,slip/step right and fire left hook/up through -pivot and high right hook... then possible left body or pivot away 2: very simple but always works well atleast once or twice in a fight....after a cross catch it with backhand push it down and throw strait over it, an over hand right - or after a jab catch with left push it down and again over hand right then left hook then roll away ... possible left hook body or plough on through with whatever 3: again very simple and basic .. strain 1,2 lean/step/hop and another right cross .. very simple but effective. love the vids keep em comming!
Just came across the favorite top 3 combos. Great video! I boxed for about ten years in amateur competition--just do it to stay in shape, but still get in ring. After years of getting my face bashed in by better boxers, I can say that some combos that have helped me, and saved me at times, are the following (I'm orthodox stance): 1) slip opponents jab (move your head to your right) and then fire up a right cross followed by a left hook to head or body. Throwing this cross is difficult--you are essentially leaning forward when you throw it and it takes practice to not get off balance, but you have got to be able to throw it on the fly as a COUNTER PUNCH to opponents jab, which is bold, but there are lots of lazy jabs that opponents throw--use this to get inside fast and follow up with body combos. 2) my other combo to add is really two combos in one. You can use this combo with a bold powerful jab to get inside and then follow with a right shovel hook to body, then another powerful jab (almost like an overhand jab) to the head--THEN follow with a powerful cross head followed by a left shovel hook them right overhand cross; from here you can follow up with a left hook, other body work, etc. But the real beauty of these combos is that they are designed to be repeated perpetually (left jab, right shovel hook, left jab, right cross, left shovel hook, right cross-->start again at left jab). I've found few opponents that can counter punch this combo set--but it does burn your fuel, so use wisely.
left jab, cross, slip left - left hook to the body, right hook/overhand; left jab, cross, right high kick/ body kick left low kick, step in, right overhand from gained momentum (Hendo style) street fighting - miss jab on purpose, make him block, spearing right cross to the nose ;) My 3 fav combinations :) Awesome advices on your channel, i
thanks for all the knowledge on the basic combinations bro. Thanks for explaining all the moves in detail. Your channel is one of the best I've found on UA-cam.
awesome foot work JT. One I use a lot is A hard Jab with a straight right followed by my right hook which is my power shot. another is two quick hooks to the body from medium range and then two quick hooks to the head with the left hook setting up the power right hook. 3rd combo would be two jabs to close distance then ducking under to the left throwing a decent left hook but really throwing everything into an immediate right hook for the knockout.
nice video and also liked the video on how to land body punches more in a fight which i find difficult and will use your technique to improve. my favorite combinations are: 1) Jab, Cross, (hoping the react with a jab or a left hook) if they jab short step to the right followed with a straight right then step further in with a powerful jab 2) Work to get inside once in tight throw a right uppercut, left hook and step out throw a left hook on the way out. once coming out usually the tight guard stops and the second hook will land flush 3) Just a simple double jab right
I have been training people at boxing for a while and a lot of the things you say I have also been saying, good to know I was on the right track, also I have learned from you a couple other cool things, thanks heaps!
1. Dbl Jab, right cross, left hook step out left 2. left upper cut, left hook, right cross 3.in close I like to hook to the body and work a rt upper cut. I've been trying that dbl right hook move you showed in a previous video (hook body and immediate hook head). Its a great move, but I'm just too slow to effectively pull it off. Great video as usual.
my favorite by far is working the jab followed by the right a few times. once they have seen it I like pump the jab and lead hook off of it and firing the right down the pipe. For a change of pace I use the same set up but hit a quarter turn right after the hook and fire the right. same combo, just a different look coming off the angles.
Love your videos, sir. Great fundamentals! I come from many different styles and if I was an amnesiac on a desert island, I'd like to remember these... #1 jab, cross, shovel, horizontal elbow #2 sudo, shovel, downward elbow #3 face rake, knee to liver, chokeslam
I like slip the jab to the left geting inside then left upper cut to the face, right cross,left hook to the face. has to be done real quick though, very risky.
I love the 2 3 followed by the 4 to the body followed by the lead uppercut to the head followed by the straight right down the pipe. If he is moving away after the body hook you go with the lead hook to the head instead
I like to throw a jab (while stepping out to the left [orthodox]) followed by a left check hook and pivot off. It's served me pretty good and it's one of my favorite combos. Particularly if a guy is double blocking tight and leaving the outside open. Sometimes I'll throw a few jabs to try to get him to tighten up more. I also favor the 1-2-3 ... Also stepping outside on the jab to try to get in line for the 3 to the body and get the hell away from trying to slip outside and eat a 2 from him.
Yes. Do not duck and slip so low, be aware of the timing and distance, obviously all these are change because of the kicks. No question the best foot work is coming from boxing, not even talking about the inside job with the hooks and uppercuts.
So if you have a foot work,body and head movement, and punches as a boxer ,and you import your kicks from taekwondo , roundhouse from Thai box you not gonna go wrong. But that's only my opinion, and I'm nobody. Good luck!
Fantastic advice as always, J! My favorite is the jab, pivoting lead hook, right straight.
sweet. thx bro!

Your videos are great. You don't have that cocky way of teaching like a lot of them do. It makes me have a respect, and want to learn from you. Thanks again bro.
David Carter thx Dave, I have respect for anyone who wants to get into boxing or full contact martial arts, the dedication and hard work it takes says a lot about a person
David Carter I agree. great advice highlighting the complexity of boxing.
JT Van V I have "acquired" several boxing dvd series, since I started recently. I can truthfully say I wasted my time, should have just found your channel sooner. It surprised my that there were great jiu jitsu dvds (serra, gracie barra, etc) Muay thai (Rob Kaiman, Razor Rob, etc), but so many lackluster boxing dvds. If you were not such a great guy you could easily monetize your instruction.
jandrmayers thanks my man, I actually do monetize my instruction here, just not all of it - www.precisionstriking.ca/shop/
it doesn't really take away from him being a great guy by monetizing his instruction. he obviously spends countless hours and has immense personal passion for the sport and teaching. the quality and value of his channel is awesome and i certainly appreciate having access to the content for free but JT deserves and nothing wrong with gettin paid for doing something you love and sucha great service to others. I know what u mean though.
I've seen about 20 of this blokes videos before commenting...he's the best instruction around.
Feint Jab> Jab> Right hand
Feint Jab> Side Step Left Hook> Right hand
Double Jab> Feint right hand> Uppercut to the Body> Right hand
Enso your 2nd is like mine but i go with a right hook at the end ,, it's pretty powerful combo though
Enso ,LLC oooooh youd walk into my left banger bru
Im southpawed so i move out left too. An yea ive ate some heavy right hands at times when it gets read
And then you turn off the xbox
These all suck
This is the best Boxing related channel on youtube. I wish I could fly there and train under you. lots of respect for your methodology and humility.
For anyone looking for a great combo, my favorite is a 1 1 2 to the body 3 back up top with a straight right following the hook. Took it from Pacquiao when he knocked down Keith Thurman. Great for pushing them back fast and dropping them as they are retreating
#1 right uppercut, left hook, roll, left hook (infight or at a distance)
#2 straight left, right uppercut, left hook, straight right, look for an opening then come with another straight right (going back or walking forward)
#3 straight right, left hook (roll, left bodyuppercut, left uppercut)
so many things you can do with these combination (adding more punches, rolls etc.
1. Twisting jab - right uppercut (the twisting jab splits open the guard for your uppercut).
2. Jab - right straight to the body - left hook/left uppercut (by a shot to the body, the hands go low, then comes your hook/uppercut).
3. Catch the jab - counter with a right straight/right hook (try to push his jab down to counter with a right straight/right hook).
4. Jab - left hook - right hook. (you're going to step in when you want to throw the left hook).
5. Jab - right uppercut - left hook - right hook.
In kickboxing I would always follow all these combos up with a livershot and finish it with a good right low-kick to end my typical Dutch Style kickboxing combo (accept at #2).
If you make them on full speed with good timing, they will be effective for sure :)
1) jab, jab, overhead right. 2) jab, cross, slip, circle, left hook to the body, right hook to the head. 3) fake left hook to the body, right hook to the head, left hook to the head. And thank you for these videos, simply superb! :)
Another great video JT Van V !
I mainly use two simple combos:
-jab to the body then follow it straight up with the jab cross to the head.
-Slip the right cross, then hop with both feet to get in close and give them a sharp left rip to the body followed by a quick uppercut. Changed it a little after watching your gazelle punch video. Works a treat as I love counter punching and the footwork you showed makes it even easier! Thanks mate!
Your tutorials are brilliant... learning so much and it's showing in my training... Thank you very much for making those tutorials and making them available for everyone. Much appreciated...! Nadja
Naddls Hope my pleasure Nadja, thanks for watching
up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, select, start
😂
Jake R1, R2, L1, L2, left, down ,right, up, left, down, right, up.
SpikenMike I mean, if you have guns, get out of the boxing channel! lol
+Jake contra haha
+TheSillyGoose Yessuh!
1. Jab, Cross, Left upper cut cross..Bread and butter. This combo opens up so many opportunities to land more shots its crazy.
2. Double jab, Cross to solar plexus while slipping to the left, left hook body, left hook head, finish with cross
3. Jab, Cross followed immediately with a backfist, while coming through with backfist I switch stance and come through with left overhand, right upper to body, spinning back elbow/fist.
I personally like to overwhelm people with speed, constant striking and change of levels. Its a pretty effective method. It works beautifully for me. By the way, I appreciate you JT. Your tips are super helpful.You have truly helped my boxing big time.
From ether stance
1,2,3(or 4), (forward)
1,2,2 (still)
3,2,1, (retreating)
I took Thai boxing first and really wish I had not. Ether way I prefer the t-stance over the boxers stance. But Thai boxers rely less on fists and more on the whole body. I consider boxing the sister of Thai boxing since they are so interchangeable.
I'm only just starting with boxing (3-4 months in...) coming from Ving Tsun and I must say, this channel is great for breaking some things down. I've learned a lot so far and hopefully I will be able to make more out of your instructional videos as I move along. Great job JT, keep going!
Great video. I'm a huge fan of a good ole 1-2, changing levels with the hooks, and finishing with an uppercut. Basically working the jab, and working it some more, setting them up for a wonderful surprise.
mma background - so my 3 favorites are - 1) jab, cross (doesn't have to land more of a distraction) then throw the right body kick almost at the same time.
2) Against the cage. jab, cross, left body shot, cross
3) side step to left to get an angle as I jab, right kick across the body since I'm at an angle. I land this everytime I spar.
At 47 I'm starting boxing to get fit and maybe have the odd match as it's a bit of an itch to scratch, you have a great teaching style, humble, modest but obviously professional. Thanks for the videos
1: orthodox- jab, right cross, step to the left, and liver shot and finish with hook up top, this mostly works when u chase your opponent down towards the ropes
2: speed punches with jab and body jab, and then right cross body and then explode up top
3: fury with left hand: play with jab, hooks and body shots
I haven't thought of favorite combos specifically, but what I find myself doing on the bag a lot is a left jab, right cross, slip to the outside followed by a left hook to the body and a right overhand to the head. Not sure why I do it, but I fire that off a lot faster than anything else and instinctively.
6 years ahead and i do this exact same thing except when i slip outside i do left hook once to body and once to head
1. jab-jab-jab with a step circling around to his left on each jab.
2. backpedalling in a circle around him to the left, then flip a jab up at his chin without breaking stride, hard cross to the body
3. "right hook" (slapping his lead hand down with my rear hand) roll over the top of it with a cross
left jab right cross left hook slip then right uppercut.
left jab left jab then hard right hook
switch to southpaw then jump forward with a left uppercut then switch back to orthodox and right hand.
Great vid man. Really clear thinking.
1) fake the jab then right cross body shot with shuffle slip to close distance then left body hook then left head hook
2) jab, right long cross, right short cross, sometimes catches opponent unaware
3) jab or double jab to close distance then right body hook, left body hook
South Paw here: Drilled into me when I was taught by Kevin Barry Jr - boxing coach of David Tua/Joseph Parker... right jab followed by double left hook (either 2 to the body or body/head).
cool! thx for sharing that
I do the same, very effective
I don’t go to a gym I only use the bag in my back yard. My favorite combo is Jab, cross, hook body, cross, head kick. It’d have to be that or jab, jab, cross, left hook, cross, jab, knee.
i love to hook off the jab, and make it look slow and predictable, only to get them really focusing on the hook and trying to counter me, so i can come with my right, but also if i make the hook nice and short it keeps the guy form countering over my jab me being the usually shorter fighter, but 1 2 1 step back 2 3, or since i use the tyson peek a boo , so i jab, slip left (double it if needed), left shovel body then left hook, great video
+brad harris nice!
im about to send you a pair of rivals, i always liked more tradional looking gloves by now ill never go back to the others
I love hooking off the jab, sometimes jab off the hook too
tyler jones great example of doubling the hook not for speed but deception and timing is ggg vs stevens first knockdown, beautifil, but in terms of speed watch floyds triple left hooks esp early in his career, my god still the most amazing thing ive ever seen in boxing in terms of a skill
Thanks, as always, for your video.
My favourite 3 are:
1,1,3,4body - I'm generally on the outside as a counterpuncher but use this as a fairly standard way of closing the gap and setting up some pressure.
1,1body,8,7 - have a lot of success chasing down with this and love the shovel hook
1 (slip right),6,3,4body,4body,3 - Love using this when he's on the ropes and I'm pressuring. Tend to roll off of the last hook and step back to the outside.
Thanks again man,
Peace.
Orthodox:
1st:right uppercut, left hook, straight right.
2nd:overhand right dropping down to throw left hook to body then left hook to head
3rd: Jab ,left hook ,right uppercut ,straight right
Straight left to head---straight right to head---dip and throw left hook to body then finish with right and left hooks to the head....When I was a teenager growing up in South Philadelphia, I used to go to the YMCA in center city, and get in the ring with guys who were training for fights. I got my ass kicked, but I learned how to defend myself on the street. I trained like a boxer until my late forties, and was in fabulous shape. Great on the speed and heave bags, and could jump with a cable rope all day long. Now I'm retired and sixty-six and using your videos to get my aging body in better condition. The Evasive Steps video is great for me, especially if some young wise guy wants to knock the crap out of me. Fighting at my age is a no-no; so getting the hell out of the way is the best way to go. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You're a fabulous guy.
+Bill Lawlor thank you! So cool to hear about your deep roots in boxing and your longevity in the sport
Left fake hook to get his attention and then full power on right uppercut always works for me.
yep!
Just wanna thank you for making videos. I'm 16 I've been boxing for 3 months and I love to learn more but my trainer is also training so he's busy I watch these then go back to the gym the next day and work on them. I'm gonna surprise him when we spar on Friday with these new combos.
+casandra moreno nice!
1, jab, straight right hand , left hook , straight right
2, double jab, straight right , left hook
3, jab , right hook to the body , right uppercut
I like the Jab - Left Hook - Right Cross, the jab and the left hook just to set up the right cross. (Jab and left hook with normal speed, and then speed up after the left hook exploding the rotation with the right cross)
Another that i use a lot is the simple Jab feint to the head - Right cross to the body (Or Jab feint and then a jab do the body)
I also like the Jab (Stepping a little to the left/inside) - feint right cross (Turning the body with the feint) - Left Uppercut to the body, (you can also finish this throwing the Left Uppercut to the Body and come up with a Left Hook to the head)
*All from orthodox stance.
double jab, right, step back right
fake jab, jab, hook, right, step back to the right side right
fake jab, body jab, right
+Mariusz Pawlukowiec you should use numbers or indicate which hand is hooking/uppercutting. Also its normally called a cross (unless your referring to an overhand right?)
Mario J. Pav really?? what mma gyms are you training at? I've trained with some of the top MMA guys in the world for over 15 years and, yes, sometimes they call out the actual strike but ANYONE worth their salt will know the difference between a 2 and an 8. I'm guessing your somewhat of a novice and there is NOTHING wrong with that. Dude was just trying to give you info. Just chill, take the advice. use it, and continue kicking ass!!
Hanes MMA Don't judge someone fighting skills based on youtube comment. He might be the best fighter in existence that just need a little bit hype, or he could be just more or less equally to you. Control your emotion and defense instinct on internet, you'll only realized when it is about 300 replies per week in the section. :p
I've a 50 KG-Bag, i'm watching your videos all the time, learning a lot, really helps me. thanks for everything !
from southpaw, jab , cross, cross, step behind. Works everytime! Two crosses in a row really throw off the opponent.
From orthodox i've used that same combo, the second cross is a real nose breaker lol good choice
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank uuuuuu both
thats a manny combo and one of my favourites!
Hi,
I find your explanations clear and simple for really effective techniques.
The first combo I've learned and still put in practice is left head, right to body and left hook. Works fine for me.
Thanks for your vids, I use them a lot for my learning (I am a 35 old beginner).
1. double jab, straight, hook to the liver
2. jab, right hook, left uppercut
3. jab, slip, hook to the liver, right hook
jab, right, left uppercut, over hand right landing to the bridge of nose
this is a powerful combination, best used when opponents already been slowed by body shots.
jab, left hook jab. all lead hand orthodox. only for fighters with longer reach. dont try it vice versa you will get hit unless you make it a counterattack or throw whilst angling and closing.
Quick shout out for the videos man, taught me so muc
+Dom Hutson wicked!
+JT Van V Yeah! Awesome videos - I'm at a gym with trainers but they don't guide me in some of the ways your videos do. Your tips have helped me tremendously. Keep them coming!
I'm really new to boxing, but my favourite combos so far that I'm decent with is to slip down to the left - left to the body - left hook - straight right. Or a quick 1-2 up top followed by a strong left to the body, then spinning clockwise to the left. Thanks for the videos man, really helping me get started from home :) Peace
I love the cotto's style he always keeps moving.
when im being smothered or the guys keeping good pressure on me and not much room, i like to throw a 6 3 2 or 5 2 3 i call it the get the fuck off me combo. im long so i dont like to be there but when i am the "get the fuck off me" combos seems to work or at least create space to get out.
sean kalinoski lol i love it, its the GTFO combo!
#3 Double jab to an overhand right or right cross. So many people instinctively lean away from the first two jabs, they invite that right hand in while they're off balance and unsuspecting.
#2 Just a simple 1-2-3. If I can time it right all three land really flush.
#1 Fake the jab and throw the left hook. They try to slip to the outside of the jab and end up throwing their head right into the hook.
good stuff as always
thx Buff, your style is impetuous, your defense is impregnable!
JT Van V
haha that is a true statement
lmao
Double jab to the head-> big left to the solar plexus and slip right-> feint right hook to the head and slip left-> left uppercut to the solar plexus-> right hook to the head.
My favorite!
straight right, left hook, overhand right
thanks for you videos JT Van V.I watch your videos and then put it on work on the gym.Definitely helping me to evolve.thank you.Hugs from Brazil
My favorite combo is 1-1-2 or 1-1 then a left kick. Pretty basic stuffs, but it works almost every time :).
Brock McClain southpaw or orthodox ?
I may be late to the party but damn your technique, footwork, and head movement are so crisp and a real joy to watch
you have such a sound knowledge of boxing and are inspiration to lot of beginners like me.. Thanks sir.
1. slip right with left uppercut, straight right, left hook, straight right, double jab.
2. step in with left, right step out (to avoid counter) step in left right
3. can't remember anymore good ones. haven't boxed for years :)
"double jab, right upper cut, left hook,right str8"-one eyed boxer
"cat srcatch fever - fake jab,spleen punch, liver blow, overhandright" -joesph Benavidez
"triple jab...leaping left, klitschko-clinch"- meh
Jas i love all the vids you post , im 55 and use it for my cardio workouts . hitting the heavy bag is so different now ..i actually look like a boxer. and the boxing lads say im doing well and who taught me..i direct them to you . many of them did not know to use the bands shown in one of your vids for power and asked me what its for so i showed them the vid itself...Much respect from the UK mate.
That's awesome Dave! I appreciate your support and it means a lot to hear that you are getting so much out of boxing.
my favorite combo is 1,1,2 and he's down ^_^
Great vid, Jason! As requested, here are three of my favourites...
I'm a southpaw and my parent art is Muay Thai. However, I still tend to favour the jab as an initiating technique rather than a straight left. So, but hands only:
1. Double jab, pivot to the right and either left hook or left cross, dependent on distance.
2. If they have quite a tight guard: double jab (hopefully bringing their hands right up), left uppercut to the body and either a right hook to the head or an overhand left.
3. Jab, lead hook, left uppercut.
1-1-2 followed by a faint with a hook and the finisher to that is a chopping right
It's effective if you can pull it off. Already broke a punching bag
Also. If you want something effective then: First throw a hook with your non-dominate hand and if your opponent is an in-fighter and dodges that to go in for the kill, give him a short uppercut while he is under that hook
Finland Fox , everything is easyer said than done wen ur dealin wit a high exp fighter like myself, speed an reflexes are everything in a combat not so much the skills, words from the father of MMA an still the greatest to this day, Bruce Lee.
Thank you, JT Van V for your ideas and strategies. For me, as a southpaw, my best combinations that have been successful in my sparring and bouts are as follows:
1) Jab, Straight Left, Jab (going forward). Then step back and Jab (out of opponent's range).
2) With hands up, drop down and fire Straight Left to opponent's body; Right Hook and Straight Left to opponent's head
3) With hands up, step forward and Jab, Straight Left, Jab, Overhand Left, Right Upper Cut to to chin or through opponent's guard, and step back and Jab.
Awesome breakdown and combos
God bless and thank you, champ. I must keep working though. Thank you for all your effective instruction, Jt. Van V.
basic combos orthodox
#1 jab to body, straight to head
#2 left hook body, left uppercut head
#3 jab, straight, uppercut, straight
southpaw #1 jab, lead hand uppercut, straight
#2 cross, cross stepping to the your right
#3 uppercut, jab, straight
remember to punch with your two knuckles and punch through the target
I don't understand why you would say that? Maybe if you're Mike Tyson and can do so? Otherwise I thought you would be shorting your punch and not getting full power.
Mine is double jab-feint right hand- uppercut to the body and then a right hand
You're the greatest man!
1. Reach for the gun
2. Pull trigger
Joshua Dos Santos Also, aim.
@@flatpickerd28 he might want to shoot his leg
-stiff jab/double jab,depending on his reaction to my initial feints,followed by R.cross-L.hook
-Right straight body,followed by a looping left hook
-slip jab followed by overhand right
-For martial arts...Rear front kick,right jab while resurfacing into southpaw,left cross,right hook :D
My favorite combo is a right hook followed by a knee to the body and finishing off with a nice swift elbow. It always does the trick... But that's MMA not boxing :P
thank you very much JT Van. i stumbled across you via you tube about a year ago & liked th e way you broke stuff down as well. very simplistic and strait forward and you always seem to try to be as helpful as possible. you also seem to have a genuine passion for it that i can respect. i myself have been training for about 3 years. anyway keep up the great videos
1-1-2 I'm 5'10 with 75 reach
+Angel King From what I've seen if you have a long reach, the jab and straight right are gonna be by far your best punches. Sometimes it's hard for somebody with long arms to get a hook (especially a left hook) around for max damage, but your straight punches will be deadly.
1. Jab + cross, then pivot out in a 45degree on my lead leg and fire that huge cross for the jaw, sometimes they block it, but it's still a huge shot to take.
2. If they try to get all up in my space I fire rear uppercut, lead hook and cross, sometimes I keep spamming lead hook and cross, shaking them up to get the distance.
3. If they have a space in the middle of their guard it has worked for me to southpaw and slip to the side and do a lead uppercut under their guard, comming up between their hands, they lower their hands and boom, big cross right on the jaw, if they usually take their one hand up again, not thinking, and I go big with the hook, then they bend over and close their guard entirely.
Left Jab, nose; straight right, jaw.
Left front kick, jaw; left jab, nose; straight right jaw.
Left jab, nose; straight right, jaw; left hook, jaw.
Most everything I do is setup with the jab, or a kick.
I can replace the straight right with an overhand right, or right cross; but usually the straight right does the job.
Thanks for the videos!
this is helpful, I've done 6 years of karate and a few years of boxing. I have my first street fight in 8 weeks and since I'm in university and away from classes this is a good refresher
im a tall fighter so i love to base everything off the jab...like to keep it basic
1)Classic 1,2,3,3... but first 3 to the body, 2nd upstairs...
2)feint jab(to draw opp in or make reaction) counter fast 1,power 2.
3)feint jab, slip left, 3 downstairs then 3 downstairs again
JT Van thanks for asking;that alone got you a like. First off, I love this sport! I learned my first official combo from a boxing fitness training manual I studied out of the library;it was a six piece:jab,straight,lead uppercut,straight,lead hook, power uppercut.After practicing that for years I promised myself all of my combos will come from an admirable source.The next became a favorite because the former pro told me it was a knock out in the golden gloves.This five piece combo is lead uppercut 2x ,lead hook 2x, straight cross(knock out). Last one is an eight piece I observed my boxing hero Iron Mike use in training.Go find it!
+Shaderock Louis great comment! Thank you
I love this guy. I want to see these kind of people grow and get rich. They deserve it.
I've been hitting drums for 36 years. I just recently started hitting a heavy bag for exercise and fitness. Your videos are a fantastic resource. Thank you for making them so easily available!!!!!
+Steve Tocco that's cool, I started drumming lessons 6 weeks ago. I've got a long way to go lol
HA!! We obviously both like hitting things!!! I subscribed to your channel to learn more about boxing. Maybe if you subscribe to my channel you can learn more about drumming!!! I have 270+ drum covers on my channel. Thanks!!
cool, i just subbed
My three favourite combos are:
1. Double jab, straight right (quick snapping jabs followed by a solid right down the pipe)
2. Jab, right uppercut (after throwing a series of jab, straight rights so he gets surprised)
3. Right uppercut, left hook to the body (uppercut adds more leverage/torque)
Three favorite Combos;
-Jab, lead hook, overhand right
-JabX2, 45 deg. Clockwise pivot step w/ straight right, lead body hook(D'Amato #5)
-Jab to body, anti-clockwise 45 deg pivot step into his lead, (basically stepping into and under his lead arm) followed by a D'Amato #6
Basically I am a counter fighter now, I am old and fat and slow so I make them come to me. These have worked for me in an aggressive mode and defensive mode.
Again, love the way you approach teaching, I have learned a lot and am grateful. I am buying your material as I can afford it, it is good stuff.
Chuck Wood the jab with the 45 deg pivot and 6 is nice! thx Chuck.
I tried the jab slip hook cross in sparring tonight and it worked not once, not twice but three times! I was so excited it worked I almost forgot to step back out!
Slip uppercut
1,2 2,1
Quadruple jab hook
1,2 left hook
Right body left body right hook to the face left uppercut left jab or hook then slip with the right
All the transition triple combos are the best because you can keep firing shots off.
Overhand right left uppercut is one of my favorites Iv practice to many combos to list off in the last year iv been training to fight. I really like to work the body. Nice videos ur pretty fast! Watch out for me im coming also im working on making enough songs for a CD. Im coming soon I finally got my wheels an im mobile now.
I like right cross left hook right cross. As a personal trainer work alot of boxing into my workouts. Its not to difficult to combo learn and its great tool to teach pivoting distribution of weight and keeping hands ups. Anything with a jab jab start great for building strength confidence in the off arm and to start to learn about distance. Slip uppercuts to body because everyone natural mores away from punches its great way to teach beginner to get inside.
I think the best combo is a very quick 1-2. I work it so often that it is almost as fast as a double jab for me, but much more powerful. The jab is quick with good snap and low power, often doesn't connect but blinds. The 2 is ideally halfway there by the time the guy opens his eyes, and I make it direct, quick, and powerful, then I pull it back asap. If you really practice, you can double up on this combo, or use it in place of a double jab when you can. I have to use caution, though. It is more dangerous to throw than a double jab, because you open yourself when throwing a right hand. For that reason, I focus on being very quick and timed at slipping, ducking, and turning after the right hand when I feel exposed after the 1-2.
I also like the jab followed by a right hook to the body. Here is when I like to use it.
I throw a jab, expecting a counterpunch from the oppenent's right hand(This works best if the opponent isn't a southpaw). I usually come to expect this by reading the opponent and judging when he will counter that way. When it comes I roll under it as I throw the right hook to the body. This motion took a lot of practice on the bag and in sparring, and I took a lot of punches learning it :). But now that I have it, I love it. Because the opponent usually doesn't expect it the first time, you can land a devastating body shot if you are precise, and aware of how your opponent's body is turning (as they throw the right hand). From here, I like to uppercut to the chin with my left as I bring my right arm up to cover that side. This is really good sometimes, because of the way the opponent softens after the body shot (again, sometimes). You wouldn't believe how often the guy will loosen up and end up chomping on his tongue when I uppercut him. I also like a powerful straight left to the chin after the hook. But, the options are varied from the jab-body right hook setup, another reason why I like it.
Lastly, I like a lead right hand followed by a left hook to the head (I am a bit of a head-hunter if you couldn't tell :) ). Again, it is a risky one. Leading right is always a risk. When I follow that with a left hook, I have to re-rotate my torso around the other way. So I open myself up two times. Here is how I make the combo work. 1st, I use speed. I think speed is the 3rd most important asset a boxer can have, below precision(2) and timing(1). The faster I can get this combo off, the less time I am opened. 2nd, I use it when I am confident that I am faster than my opponent. Usually, it is later in the fight when stamina becomes a factor, and at a time when I judge myself fresher than the other guy. 3rd, I absolutely have to connect on the lead right hand. I need that time when my opponent is stunned/yet to respond to get my lefty hook to his chin/eye before he can react.
Sweet video man :)
1)Double jab to the head left hook to the body coming to an uppercut to the body slip then a right hand to the head(I do both stands orthodox and southpaw)
2) Double Jab to the body feint the third then go to a hook to the head ,cross, then ending with a body shot (most people will raise their hands to guard after the cross if not KOed already)
3)Southpaw stance, right jab get in with a mike tyson style hook to the body and uppercut to the head, ending with a stance switch then superman punch
Great vid! My fav one must be jab -pop out, pop back in quickly with a left hook, cross with a slip to the left/overhand right. It is kinda odd to go back with the same hand so most folks dont expect it, expecially when it breaks the rhythm after a jab-cross-left hook or smth
Thank you so much for your videos it helps alot I am working with a new fighter and it keeps things fresh .Keep them flowing your a great teacher too
Mark Hebebrand
+Mark Hebebrand thank you!
1) I like to use the 1-2 followed by a pivot and a rear power punch off the newly created angle.
2) Jab to the body with low posture followed by an overhead right, and then a left hook to the body/liver.
3) 1-2 again but this time when i pivot i throw a missile right hook to the body or as an overhand right. It depends on what targets are available when i initiate the combo.
Id love to hear what you think about those JT
I'm new to boxing and I've caught up pretty quick thanks to your videos and endless work at home following your videos! Your form is completely amazing I'm jealous!
hey man! great vids you helped me alot before i found a decent coach.. ... love hearing honest no bull** chat about boxing without the attitude, here are my ..top three... these change depending on what im learning or who im fighting but at the moment the ones that are working for me:
1.semi-fake left jab to face -hard backhand body ,slip/step right and fire left hook/up through -pivot and high right hook... then possible left body or pivot away
2: very simple but always works well atleast once or twice in a fight....after a cross catch it with backhand push it down and throw strait over it, an over hand right - or after a jab catch with left push it down and again over hand right then left hook then roll away ... possible left hook body or plough on through with whatever
3: again very simple and basic .. strain 1,2 lean/step/hop and another right cross .. very simple but effective. love the vids keep em comming!
Decided to get into Boxing and one day hopefully go professional and these videos are a big help on my journey to become a champion!
Just came across the favorite top 3 combos. Great video! I boxed for about ten years in amateur competition--just do it to stay in shape, but still get in ring. After years of getting my face bashed in by better boxers, I can say that some combos that have helped me, and saved me at times, are the following (I'm orthodox stance): 1) slip opponents jab (move your head to your right) and then fire up a right cross followed by a left hook to head or body. Throwing this cross is difficult--you are essentially leaning forward when you throw it and it takes practice to not get off balance, but you have got to be able to throw it on the fly as a COUNTER PUNCH to opponents jab, which is bold, but there are lots of lazy jabs that opponents throw--use this to get inside fast and follow up with body combos. 2) my other combo to add is really two combos in one. You can use this combo with a bold powerful jab to get inside and then follow with a right shovel hook to body, then another powerful jab (almost like an overhand jab) to the head--THEN follow with a powerful cross head followed by a left shovel hook them right overhand cross; from here you can follow up with a left hook, other body work, etc. But the real beauty of these combos is that they are designed to be repeated perpetually (left jab, right shovel hook, left jab, right cross, left shovel hook, right cross-->start again at left jab). I've found few opponents that can counter punch this combo set--but it does burn your fuel, so use wisely.
Thanks for your comment Alex, and sharing your experience in the ring
left jab, cross, slip left - left hook to the body, right hook/overhand;
left jab, cross, right high kick/ body kick
left low kick, step in, right overhand from gained momentum (Hendo style)
street fighting - miss jab on purpose, make him block, spearing right cross to the nose ;)
My 3 fav combinations :)
Awesome advices on your channel, i
thanks for all the knowledge on the basic combinations bro. Thanks for explaining all the moves in detail. Your channel is one of the best I've found on UA-cam.
awesome foot work JT. One I use a lot is A hard Jab with a straight right followed by my right hook which is my power shot. another is two quick hooks to the body from medium range and then two quick hooks to the head with the left hook setting up the power right hook. 3rd combo would be two jabs to close distance then ducking under to the left throwing a decent left hook but really throwing everything into an immediate right hook for the knockout.
nice video and also liked the video on how to land body punches more in a fight which i find difficult and will use your technique to improve. my favorite combinations are:
1) Jab, Cross, (hoping the react with a jab or a left hook) if they jab short step to the right followed with a straight right then step further in with a powerful jab
2) Work to get inside once in tight throw a right uppercut, left hook and step out throw a left hook on the way out. once coming out usually the tight guard stops and the second hook will land flush
3) Just a simple double jab right
I have been training people at boxing for a while and a lot of the things you say I have also been saying, good to know I was on the right track, also I have learned from you a couple other cool things, thanks heaps!
1. Dbl Jab, right cross, left hook step out left
2. left upper cut, left hook, right cross
3.in close I like to hook to the body and work a rt upper cut.
I've been trying that dbl right hook move you showed in a previous video (hook body and immediate hook head). Its a great move, but I'm just too slow to effectively pull it off. Great video as usual.
my favorite by far is working the jab followed by the right a few times. once they have seen it I like pump the jab and lead hook off of it and firing the right down the pipe. For a change of pace I use the same set up but hit a quarter turn right after the hook and fire the right. same combo, just a different look coming off the angles.
my 3 favorite combos
jab, slip hook.
jab, left upper cut, left hook.
feint jab, right body hook, left hook to the head.
That last one is underrated
Love your videos, sir. Great fundamentals! I come from many different styles and if I was an amnesiac on a desert island, I'd like to remember these...
#1 jab, cross, shovel, horizontal elbow
#2 sudo, shovel, downward elbow
#3 face rake, knee to liver, chokeslam
I like slip the jab to the left geting inside then left upper cut to the face, right cross,left hook to the face. has to be done real quick though, very risky.
wow , whole new perspective on boxing. your vids are great!!!
I love the 2 3 followed by the 4 to the body followed by the lead uppercut to the head followed by the straight right down the pipe. If he is moving away after the body hook you go with the lead hook to the head instead
I like to throw a jab (while stepping out to the left [orthodox]) followed by a left check hook and pivot off. It's served me pretty good and it's one of my favorite combos. Particularly if a guy is double blocking tight and leaving the outside open. Sometimes I'll throw a few jabs to try to get him to tighten up more.
I also favor the 1-2-3 ... Also stepping outside on the jab to try to get in line for the 3 to the body and get the hell away from trying to slip outside and eat a 2 from him.
The best hints ant tips about boxing what i can find on youtube. I do kick boxing, but i find these videos 100% useful. Thanks JT !!!
Hey your comment is quite old. But could I ask you what your adjustments are for kickboxing?
Yes. Do not duck and slip so low, be aware of the timing and distance, obviously all these are change because of the kicks. No question the best foot work is coming from boxing, not even talking about the inside job with the hooks and uppercuts.
So if you have a foot work,body and head movement, and punches as a boxer ,and you import your kicks from taekwondo , roundhouse from Thai box you not gonna go wrong. But that's only my opinion, and I'm nobody. Good luck!
