Slip Lead → Cross → Lead Hook

What this combo trains

This combo trains your head movement and your ability to turn defence into offence in one motion. Slipping outside the jab takes your head off the line and leaves their lead arm out, so the cross fires down that open lane; rotating back to centre powers the hook. It builds timing, the confidence to counter off a slip, and the flow from evasion straight into a two-punch answer.

Step by step

1. 1.
   Slip Lead

   Slip your head to the lead side, outside their incoming jab, keeping your eyes up and your hands home.

2. 2.
   Cross

   With their lead arm still extended, fire the cross straight over the top of it off the rear hand, driven by hip rotation.

3. 3.
   Lead Hook

   As you turn back to centre, whip the lead hook across on that rotation, elbow up and the lead hip driving through.

Common mistakes

• Slipping the wrong way (inside the jab) so the cross has no open line and you drift into the return.
• Slipping too wide or dipping the head down, which delays the cross and puts you off balance.
• Waiting after the slip instead of countering immediately, letting their lead arm recover.
• Leaning out of the hook rather than rotating back through centre, so it lands without power.

Who it suits

An intermediate counter combo for fighters comfortable with head movement. It works from both orthodox and southpaw because the app mirrors every left and right to your stance.

Why it works

Slip outside the jab and the cross is already lined up over their extended arm; the hook follows the turn back to centre.
