which hand to you end your combos with?

I like to at least try and end on a jab, helps get balanced after throwing any combo over 3 punches...(I usually get a little hyper when i do anything over a normal 1-2-3 and the jab helps to kind of push me into a base stance..)

 

It's all about shifting the weight from the foot it's on to the other foot while sliding the other foot where you want to go. In general when ending a combo you want to go back. I like to finish on either a left hook or jab (I'm orthodox) depending on the range.

After throwing a straight right your weight is mainly on your left foot. Shift your weight to your right foot while sliding it back and away from your opponent. The left to right weight shift is perfect for a powerful left hook. The jab is ok but there's not much power there.

Once you get the hang of this you can play around with moving sideways a bit. Same as above but slide your right foot to your right while throwing the left hook.

If you want to go to your left you can use your left foot as a pivot and throw a sharp left hook as you pivot around.

In general, just play aroung with moving your feet in various directions while throwing punches. You'll soon figure it out.

 

The left, I try to end everything with a move back to my range and a jab or two.

 

End with the jab, in this case you have the power hand cocked and ready to launch

 

i have been taught to end with a jab.

 

either one.

 

I move and throw the jab simultaneously. So for me, if I'm actually chaining together a long combo, it would look like: 1-2-5-2 pivot/step and jab.

 

Either hand, depends on the combo.

 

I like to end with a clinch.

 

1. Jab to set up combo or distract opponent

2. Combo or combos

3. jab to thwart a counter and also to make room for a safe exit right or left depending


Start with a jab, and end with a jab

 

If you do the same thing each time, isn't a switched-on opponent going to figure it out after a while and set you up?

 

I can see why.... I normally end with a power punch using the non-jab hand. I get exposed when I miss because I'm at an ackward possition. Caulking back to land a jab would get me in a better position. If I end more combo's using the jab I could end my combinations in the proper boxing stance that will give me the ability to block and throw more punches.


Is this the reason?
