Two-punch combination delivered in quick succession

Key steps

  1. Start from a strong stance with both hands organized so the first punch can fire without telegraphing.
  2. Deliver the first straight punch cleanly, then let the recoil and hip action feed immediately into the second punch.
  3. Keep both punches on direct lines and avoid overcommitting the first strike so the second one can still be sharp.
  4. Finish with the second punch grounded through the stance, then recover both hands into guard or chamber.

Coaching points

  • Let the hips and stance drive the punch rather than the shoulder alone.
  • Keep the elbow line tight so the strike travels straight.
  • Return the opposite hand with intent to finish the technique cleanly.
