Why This Matters for Boxing

Alternate head hooks and body hooks — the fundamental level-change ripping pattern. This builds the coordination to shift between targets while maintaining power at both levels.

How To Do It

  1. 1Stand in fighting stance in front of the bag.
  2. 2Throw a lead hook to the head.
  3. 3Immediately throw a lead hook to the body.
  4. 4Alternate levels continuously for 60 seconds.
  5. 5Mix in rear hooks as well.

Pro Tips

  • Bend your knees for body hooks — don't lean down.
  • The head-to-body transition should be smooth and fast.
  • Stay close to the bag — body hooks are inside punches.
