Stroke combinations

Partner work

The instructor specifies a certain sequence of movements or, in the case of experienced participants, the combinations can be freely chosen (varied).

The passive participant (with the claws) keeps the partner (with the boxing gloves) busy for a certain period of time (2-3 minutes). After a breather, a new stress phase begins. Only after several rounds (2-4) are the roles changed (depending on the desired intensity).

The passive competitor shows the active competitor how to strike:

1. Paw next to the head - claw surface points forwards
   ► Straight punch (crosswise, i.e. left fist to the opponent's left hand)
2. Paw in front of the face at head height - claw surface points inwards/to the face
   ► Sideways punch (crosswise, i.e. left fist to the opponent's left hand)
3. Paw in front of the chin - claw surface points downwards
   ► Uppercut (crosswise, i.e. left fist to the opponent's left hand)
4. Paw in front of the chin - claw surface points downwards
   ► Uppercut (crosswise, i.e. left fist to the opponent's left hand)
5. Paw to the side of the body - claw surface facing the body
   ► Strike to the body (same side)

From time to time, the passive participant can perform striking movements to which the active participant must react appropriately (e.g. evasive movements). This ensures that the defence is not neglected.

Variant:
Integrate footwork as well:

1. Paws sideways in front of the body, upper arms against the body - claw surface points diagonally away from the body (vary height)
   ►Kick sideways (same side)
2. Paws in front of the body - claw surfaces point downwards, place one claw edge on the body and the other claw underneath
   ►knee kick
3. claw in front of the body - place one claw edge on the body (surface facing downwards) and the other claw above it (surface facing forwards)
   ►kick away (kick foot out forwards)

Possible combinations:
A common combination can be performed very smoothly. Typically, the hips can always "rotate" back and forth. If you punch twice on the same side, this rotation is no longer possible, but such a sequence of movements can still be incorporated into a combination (breaking the rhythm).
The jab is performed with the weaker hand, i.e. the lead hand (left or right, depending on the delivery). The punch corresponds to the stronger hand.

• Straight jab (left) - straight punch (right) - sideways punch (left) - sideways punch (right) - kick
• . kick
• straight jab (left) - straight/punch (right) - body hook (left) - knee strike
• straight jab (left) - side hook (right) - body hook (right) - knee strike
• straight jab (left) - side hook (right) - kick
• straight jab (left) - side hook (right or left) - body hook (right) - knee strike Straight/punch (right) - side-hook (right or left)
• Straight jab (left) - kick - straight/punch (right) - kick
• Side-hook (left) - knee - side-hook (right) - knee strike
• Kick (left) - straight/punch (right) - side-hook (left) - knee kick
• Kick away - straight/punch (right) - sideways hook (left) - uppercut (right) - knee kick (2x)
• Sideways hook (left) - straight/punch (right) - body hook (left) - knee kick - kick
• Each type of punch 2x in succession (straight, side-hook, uppercut, body-hook)
• 4 quick punches (alternating, starting with the jab), punch again (i.i.e. the stronger side follows 2x at the end) - knee (plus pushing away) - kick
• 10x straight (alternating left/right with high frequency) & 2 hooks, 10x straight & 4 hooks, 10x straight & 6 hooks...
