Future focus
In 6 months
Combination month teaches boxers to link punches without losing their shape. The aim is clean two, three and four punch ideas, not throwing a long list as fast as possible.
What
Two, three and four punch sequences with stance, breath, rhythm and a safe finish.
How
Coaches can build combinations from single-shot quality, then add rhythm, body-head changes, defensive endings and simple partner feedback.
Monthly pathway
Start with the active block, look ahead to the next one, then keep last month as a reference rather than the first card.
Why it matters
Combinations should build a boxing idea, not just a longer list of punches.
The KB combination clips are useful because they stay realistic: short sequences, clear targets and a finish position.
For juniors, combinations should build confidence without turning into windmilling. For adults, they become a way to set traps and finish exchanges cleanly.
Coaches will be watching rhythm, breath, balance after the final punch and whether the boxer can defend after working.
Video homework
Use these clips before class or as a reminder afterwards. Each one also opens on YouTube if you want to save it.

Study video ↗What classes will feel like
Week 1
Jab-cross, jab-hook and cross-hook with a visible reset after each pair.
Week 2
Add body-head or straight-hook-straight patterns without rushing.
Week 3
Use pauses, feints and tempo changes so combinations are not one-speed.
Week 4
Every combination ends with guard, step, roll or angle depending on class level.
Example drills
Beginners
Only two-punch combinations on bag or pads, with a freeze after each.
The second punch should not ruin the stance.
All levels
Short combination with a clear exhale and guard return.
Relaxation matters. Tension makes the third punch messy.
Intermediate
Body-head, head-body and head-body-head patterns on pads.
Changing level must keep the eyes and guard organised.
Controlled partner work
Boxer throws a light sequence into gloves, partner gives a predictable return shot.
Teach the ending. No combination is finished until the boxer is safe.
Member note
Do not rush the list. Build a shape, add a reason, finish safe.
