Switch Kick → Cross → Lead Low Kick
IntermediateSwitch Kick to Cross to Lead Low Kick attacks on shifting lines. The body kick drags the guard down, the cross reclaims the head, then the inside kick strikes from the opposite angle.
What this combo trains
This combination trains switching attack lines to keep the opponent guessing. The switch kick fires the lead leg with rear-leg power to the body, pulling the guard low; the cross re-occupies the head and pins the hands up; then the lead low kick attacks from the opposite line while their focus is high. It develops the switch mechanic, punch-kick flow, and the habit of changing height and angle inside one sequence.
Step by step
- 1.Switch Kick
Switch the feet to fire the lead leg with rear-leg power into the body, pulling their guard and attention down.
- 2.Cross
As the kicking leg returns, drive the cross off the rear hand to re-occupy the head and pull the guard back up.
- 3.Lead Low Kick
With their focus now high, chop the lead low kick into the inside or outside of the thigh from the opposite line.
Common mistakes
- Telegraphing the switch by hopping high or slowly, so the body kick is read early.
- Landing the switch kick off balance and being unable to plant for the cross.
- Throwing the lead low kick before the cross has drawn attention back up, so it meets a check.
- Squaring up after the cross and losing the base to turn the lead kick over.
Who it suits

Why it works
