Striking/Boxing 101: Boxing and Muay Thai Combinations

Boxing and Muay Thai combos

Here is a fundamental list of combinations for those that don't know what to work when shadowboxing, hitting the mitts or bag, or to do while sparring. Make sure when doing these to work in movement, and fundamental Defenses like covering and level changing a lot of people make the mistake of doing flashy defensive moves when shadowboxing or working on the pads and bag and then can't pull move off while sparring, or fighting.

KEEP IT SIMPLE!!!!!

Stance, Posture and Defense

When it comes to the basics of a solid Stance/Posture Rodney King (of South Africa) is the MAN!!! I've trained in over 22 different fighting systems/martial arts and for teaching a fundamental defense to all types of punches, kicks, and clinching his is the Quickest to learn and easiest to put into practice, and THAT is what you need! Something that WORKS when all else doesn't and that gives you a strong foundation or even a default for when the flashier stuff doesn't work. Believe me few strategies can be applied so easily and so well to boxing, Muay Thai Kickboxing, and Mixed Martial Arts as this.

In short, when the shit hit's the fan go Crazy Monkey!
