Welcome back, warriors! 👋🔥
If you’ve been following from Class #1 through #4, you’ve already built a strong foundation: stances, punches, and basic kicks. Now in Class #5, we’re taking things up a notch with structured combinations — the bridge between single techniques and real martial arts flow. 🚀
What You’ll Learn in Class #5:
✅ Punch + Kick Combinations — linking hand strikes with basic kicks for fluid attacks. Example: Front Stance → Jab → Reverse Punch → Front Kick. 🥊🦵
✅ Defend + Counter Sequences — learning to block and immediately respond. Example: Low Block → Reverse Punch → Step Back Kick. 🛡️⚡
✅ Movement Integration — stepping into stance while throwing techniques so you don’t just “stand and punch,” but move like a martial artist. 🌀
Why Combinations Matter
In real training (and even in sparring later), techniques don’t come one at a time. The secret is to blend movements together so your body flows naturally:
💨 Faster reactions
🔥 More power from momentum
🧠 Sharper focus & timing
Think of it like music 🎵 — single notes are fine, but when you string them together, you get rhythm and energy!

Pro Tips from 20+ Years of Experience 🥋✨
- Breathe with rhythm — exhale short bursts with each strike.
- Don’t rush — clean technique beats sloppy speed.
- Stay balanced — after each kick, return to stance, don’t “fall out.”
- Eyes forward — always look where you strike.
