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 Sequence:

  • Left Uppercut

  • Jab

  • Left Uppercut

  • Cross

  • Left Uppercut

  • Left Hook

Combo 31: The Sanchez

A tribute to the fluid movement of Salvador Sanchez. This is a short but vital drill for developing movement skills by rolling to the side and throwing hooks from the unexpected side.

Combo Sequence:

  • Roll Left

  • Right Hook

  • Roll Right

  • Left 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 Sequence:

  • Jab

  • Left Hook

  • Cross

  • Jab

  • Left Hook

  • Cross

  • Jab

  • Left Hook

  • 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

  • Jab

  • Jab

  • Cross

  • Jab

  • Cross

  • Cross

Combo 34: The Right Uppercut Motif

This drill mirrors the lead uppercut motif but focuses on the rear hand. It is essential for learning how to sneak the right uppercut from various different setups.

Combo 35: 1 2 Slip 6 Pull 2

This is a high-level defensive counter sequence. You fire the 1-2, slip an incoming shot to fire an uppercut (the 6), and then immediately pull back to avoid a second counter before finishing with a final cross.

Combo Sequence:

  • Jab

  • Cross

  • Slip

  • Right Uppercut

  • Pull

  • Cross
