Combos Of The Week: Week 5 Virtual Padwork Online Boxing Series
Welcome to the fifth instalment of Combos Of The Week. This series is a complete recap of the Virtual Padwork library I built in 2023.
If you are looking for a structured way to learn about online boxing, this series will serve as a reference guide. Instead of hunting through a social media feed, you can find the technical sequences right here, grouped by week, to study in your own time.
Here is the breakdown of combos 29 to 35 from the archive.
Combo 29: The Tyson
Inspired by "Iron" Mike. This is all about changing levels and angles. You start with a low jab, step to the side to create a new line of attack, and fire a heavy double hook before rolling away to safety.
Combo Sequence:
Low Jab
Step Left
Low Left Hook
Left Hook
Roll Right
Combo 30: The Left Uppercut Motif
In this motif, we focus on the lead uppercut. By returning to this punch after every other shot in the sequence, you learn how to throw the uppercut effectively whether you are coming off a jab, a cross, or a hook.

Combo 32: The 132 Loop
The 1-3-2 (Jab-Lead Hook-Cross) is a staple for any technical boxer. Looping this sequence builds the endurance needed to keep your punches crisp and helps you master the transition from the horizontal hook to the straight cross.

Combo 33: The Paradiddle
Borrowing a concept from drumming, the Paradiddle is a rhythm drill. It breaks the standard "left-right-left-right" cadence by introducing double shots on the same hand, which is a great way to catch an opponent's guard out of position.
Combo Sequence:
Jab
Cross
