Boxing Glossary · technique
A sequence of two or more punches thrown in quick succession. The classic 1-2 (jab-cross) is the most fundamental combination in boxing, but effective fighters chain together jabs, crosses, hooks, and uppercuts to attack different targets. Good combinations flow naturally and are practised repeatedly until they become instinctive.
