Making Sure to Change Levels when Striking is Important
Changing levels while striking keeps your opponent guessing and opens up new angles of attack. Mix head, body, and leg shots to break their rhythm and land clean, unexpected strikes.

Generate power from the ground up — push off your feet, drive your hips and rotate your torso while pivoting your rear foot so the force travels through your shoulder and into the fist.
Stay relaxed until the last moment so the strike snaps, keep your wrist aligned, exhale on impact, and practice with medicine-ball throws, resistance bands, and heavy-bag rounds to lock in timing and transfer.
When holding focus mitts, keep your wrists straight and your elbows slightly bent to absorb the impact safely. Always present a stable target by engaging your core and meeting the punch with controlled resistance.
Plant your support foot and pivot on the ball of it, chamber your kicking knee, then whip your hips so the lower shin or instep snaps into the target — high or low depending on range.
Keep your hands up and eyes on the target, snap the kick back to regain balance, and follow with a quick punch or step-in to capitalize.
