Mine evidentally is not an entertaining thread; I was aiming for some mutual idea sharing. Maybe I should have posted a picture of a hot girl fighter or something...
Anybody? No strikers on this board? Only grapplers and spectators? I don't believe that for a second...
She set up the left hook by throwing a few of these first:
left jab
HARD right cross (body and head)
essentially she used this really simple combination so that you could think that you were predicting her shots. Then when you set your defense for the HARD right cross (head or body), she threw the left hook and followed it with an uppercut.
Counter front kick - straight right - straight left - straight right - straight left - roundhouse.... (with the intention of moving forward (stepping into) each technique - works for me....)
left hook/right kick. Any type. High, mid, low, front, whatever. Personally I also like to throw a straight right followed by a left low kick, or a right to the body followed by a left high kick. I've caught lots of really, really, really good people with those.
Sorry about that - it's an American Kickboxing term that has stuck with me.
switch kick = front leg roundhouse kick (but the front leg becomes the back leg for a moment because you "switch" stances.
I like using a lot of switch kicks because it is pretty darn obvious and your opponent will react to it. For example, from a conventional right-hand stance (left left forward) I "switch" my stance and instead of throwing the left leg (now the back leg) I throw a right knee or a right cross.
(that's not really an example of a combination, more like a Superman punch "fake-out" setup).
I know that this is not a real entertaining thread but I intend to try some new combinations myself and I hope that some of you guys see some that you like and can use.
left jab -> sidestep left -> left hook -> right hook -> grab w/ left into
thai clinch -> torque head to the right -> shuffle-step right foot back
-> right knee to head -> right knee to head -> torque head to left - >
shuffle step left foot back -> left knee to head -> left hook -> right
uppercut -> double leg into mount -> right elbows to the head...
