Boxing Combinations

Below is a list of boxing combinations that you can use to practice on the bag, pads or in sparring.

Be aware, that it’s pretty difficult to land 3 or 4 punch combinations against a decent opponent. You’ll generally be using the 1 or 2 punch combinations the majority of the time, throwing more when the opponent is tired or stunned by a jab.

Please see shadow boxing combinations here.
