Here’s another short instructional clip that follows up on the “Cross/Low Hook/Hook Combination” drill.

In this one, I’m showing how to add variation to the previous drill. It’s a very short clip, but can make all the difference in the world if applied correctly.

Again, you may have to turn the volume up. Even then, it’s hard to hear. The next vids I make will have a better audio track, I promise.

Some things to enhance the “Cross/Low Hook/Hook Combination” drill:

1. Vary the intensity & power of the strikes.
2. Combine the intensity changes with broken rhythm.
3. Add different set-ups before the strikes.

I was not very clear in the video as to the different set-ups, so here are a few basic ideas:

1. Feint a Straight Lead.
2. Fake a Straight Lead.
3. Do a “Stutter Step”.

Play with the rhythm on these. For instance:

- Feint a straight lead
- Pause
- Follow up with the Cross/Low Hook/Hook drill

Another variation:

- Feint a straight lead
- Immediately follow up with the Cross/Low Hook/Hook drill

This should give you plenty of ideas and variations to train. Just remember to practice good form & technique and you can rack up some reps very quickly.

I would suggest that after you play with several variations, choose 2 that you feel most comfortable. Then begin the journey of training them until they are second nature.

Good luck in your quest!
