Check, kick, combo

This combo will help with your "rock step" and "switch step" techniques for quick delivery throughout the combo. Make sure to use your arms for balance and hip rotation. From the "check", rock-step, kick, rock-step knee, switch step, knee, 1, 2!! Confused... read on. OH... and have fun!!

  • Check
  • Joe simulates the leg kick check. Toes pointed down, knee to elbow (the wall), left hand in opponents face.
  • Rockstep
  • Joe turns his hips square and quickly bounces (rockstep) off his toes to ...
  • Kick
  • fire off the kick. (head, body, or leg)
  • Rock step
  • Quickly pull the kick back to rock step.
  • Knee
  • Quickly pop the knee. Good cover with the left, counter balance with the right.
  • Switch step
  • Now, after Joe lands the right knee, he brings his right foot straight down to the mat as he skips the left back enough to load the knee to ...
  • Knee #2
  • throw the knee.
  • Jab - 1
  • After the knee, again, Joe brings the left foot straight down and skips the right out. This leaves him in his "on guard" stance, which is the lead Joe fights with. (left foot forward, right back)
    Once he plants his feet, BANG-BANG, jab...
  • Cross or Straight

The strong man is not the one who wrestles, but controls himself in a fit of rage.

nice combo!

5000 posts = unicorn status There is only room for one Toby Mcquire, and that is me: Jake Jilenhol.

Love the block on the knee, I'm going to give it a try next sparing session

Thanks!!!!

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying "I will try again tomorrow"

That is a mean combo, thanks

I pray, do yoga, meditate and still want to smack people

first photo...toes pointed down = bad. All (good) thai boxing instructors instruct their students to have the toes pointed up and flex the shin muscle for less injury and avoid deep muscle contusion. A flexed muscle will give a harder check.

Now I've heard it both ways. I was taught to keep the muscle unflexed to allow the point of the shin to do damage to the ankle and instep... not to go bone to bone, so as not to take a chance on getting the Tibialis anterior muscle chopped in half! Maybe he wasn't a good Kru.. I'll let you take that up with him.
I've also heard to flex it.. such as when you check walk drill or check high... which is part of the CW drill!!!!
I've learned to just use what works best for you!!

I agree thunder, I was taught to keep my foot up also and not pointed. what ever works, use it

Thats a nice combo man- Ive always believed in combos cos they work really well when Im sparring, gets me some breathing space to observe how my partner is doing, see whats hurting or what he`s left exposed, but since I havnt had any fights yet, do they work? Properly? Nerves etc. would definately play its part, so Im just wondering if its better to get into the ring with a blank mind (forget all combos) and just maul the guy or else have a couple of good combos you know and practised extremely well and break them out and wear down your opponent. What do people suggest? Cheers again bro, very good.

deadly combo. very nice.
