Johnnys Punching Combinations List

December 18, 2009 by Johnny N Boxing Strategy, Punch Combinations 108 Comments

The one and only ExpertBoxings complete list of

punching combinations for boxers. This is just a list of
combinations only.
Its not about what punches you throw, its how you
throw the punches. A basic 1-2 punch combination
becomes very deadly when you mix in some variations
differing in speed, angle, footwork, timing, and power.

If you need further explanation as to why and how you

throw these combinations, please see my other articles
on punch combinations.
For counter-punching routines, please click here.
Mix & Match and Enjoy! (Last Updated 2/8/12)

Punch Legend
Each number below represents a punch.
(Combinations are for orthodox fighters. There is a
small section for southpaws below.)
Punches
1 = jab
2 = right hand
3 = left hook
4 = right hook (or overhand right)
5 = left uppercut
6 = right uppercut
b = body (example: 1b = jab to the body)
Defense
[] = blocking
() = rolling
{} = rolling under
// = slipping or lean away from
<> = pivot away from
Movement
p/pccw = almost all pivots are on the front foot (p
means pivot clockwise on the frontfoot, pccw means
pivot counter-clockwise on the front foot)
bp = backfoot pivot. very rarely used (bpccw means

pivot counter-clockwise off your backfoot)

ls/rs = leftstep and rightstep. self-explanatory
bs = backstep (example: 1bs means you backstep as
you throw the jab, 1-bs means you backstep AFTER
you throw the jab)
f = fake (example: 1f-3 means to fake a jab to the
head, and then throw a left hook right after)
t = tap (example: 1t-2 means to throw a light tap jab,
followed by a right cross)
sl/sr = slip left, slip right (example: 1-sl-3 means jab,
then slip left, then left hook. 1sr-2 means jab as you
slip to the right and throw a right hand after)
To use the punching combinations listed below, simply
chain the combos in this order:
