Here are a few quick three punch combinations that I call the “Three Punch Monty”. It features three punches with one rebound in between that rotates your hands around the bag. Then after two rebounds, you repeat it using different sides. It will help develop quick side changing fist control for advanced combinations.
It starts with a Front Double Punch (FDP), to a Side Single Punch (SSP), followed by a Side Double Punch (SDP) from the other side of the bag to a Reverse Single Punch (RSP)
R-L ' R ' ' R-L ' R…
(FDP) ' (SSP) ' ' (SDP) ' (RSP)….Repeat, same fist order
Notice the lead fist (Right in this case) of each Double Punch breaks off and goes to the other bag area. (side then back). Notice the right fist hits these bag areas: Front, right Side, Front, back (reverse).
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You can also start this from a Reverse Double Punch and use the same fist order
R-L ' R ' ' R-L ' R…
(RDP) ' (SSP) ' ' (SDP) ' (RSP)….Repeat, same fist order
Notice the lead fist (Right in this case) of each Double Punch again breaks off and goes to the other bag area. (side then back). Notice the right fist hits these bag areas: Front, right Side, Front, back (reverse).
As a variation, you can also change the (SDP) to a Front Double Punch
R-L ' R ' ' R-L ' R…
(RDP) ' (SSP) ' ' (FDP) ' (*SSP)….Repeat, same fist order
Notice the lead fist (Right in this case) of the RDP breaks off and goes to the right side of the bag, and then goes back to the Right Side for the last (*SSP)….. can go to a FDP or SDP.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You can also start this from a Side Double Punch, keeping the same fist order.
R-L ' R ' ' R-L ' R…
(SDP) ' (RSP) ' ' (FDP) ' (SSP)….Repeat, same fist order
Notice the lead fist (Right in this case) of the SDP will hit the front of the bag and the Left fist hits the left side. The Right goes behind for the RSP, then leads the FDP and goes to the Right Side for the last SSP.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Playing with these three punch combo’s will allow you to begin to “own” moving your hands all around the bag. I suggest you choose ONE and work on it for a while, and do it leading with the Right, then Left Fist. After it feels really comfortable, go to another one and work it. After you work all of them for a while you will be able to mix and match at will and your fists will be whirling around the bag however you want. The secret is knowing that the lead fist of any double punch is the fist the goes to another side after one rebound. Notice a Front Circle Punch does not appear. That is because there is no double punch that easily allows a FCP to occur after ONE rebound.
With time and practice, you can also begin these combo’s from the SSP, or RSP. You can also start this from a Front Circle Punch (FCP), but you must add a (SSP) to create the SDP combo. (the lead fist of a SDP is actually a FCP). There a lot of variations you can do off of these.
You don't have to do them fast. Air punch them a few times to learn the movments, then start slow on the bag. Good luck and hope they help you.
