Sparring Combinations: 4 to Get You Started

If you're new to sparring or not sure where to start when it comes to combinations, Sang H. Kim suggests the following four to get started:

1) lead hand jab + rear hand punch + rear leg roundhouse kick
2) front leg roundhouse kick + lead hand punch + rear hand punch
3) front leg roundhouse kick + rear leg roundhouse kick + lead/rear punch combo
4) switch stance + front leg hopping side kick as you progress with your coordination

Practice 3 sets of 10 for each combination 3 times a week. Within 12 weeks you should be able to apply all 4 combinations in sparring with speed and power. Once you have these down, check out Top 100 Scoring Techinques DVD for more advanced combinations.
