Combos with Purpose - 10 Tactics for Effective Striking Combinations

WHO IS THIS FOR?

This guide is for:

1- The striker who feels stuck mid-exchange.

You know the techniques. You’ve drilled the combinations. You have power in your hands. And yet, in sparring or competition, something feels forced. You spend too much time guessing. You throw, but without a strong intent. This isn’t a lack of skill. It’s a gap in understanding. Often this comes from not having clarity regarding tactics, but once you get this part handled, you will see notable improvement.

2- Those who want to widen their striking arsenal.

Not just by collecting more techniques, but by learning how to connect them intelligently, adapt them in motion, and make them work against resistance.

There’s a difference between throwing punches and fighting. Between memorized sequences and reading cause and effect under pressure. Between movement and meaning. Between action and flow. It’s the bridge between knowing what to throw and knowing why, when, and what comes next.
