Don’t just check the kick — counter right back. 🥊

Depending on which side your opponent attacks, use the check to flow straight into your hands and finish with the left kick.

Drill both sides so the response becomes automatic.

It’s not just about how hard you train — it’s about how well you recover.

Use the switch kick motion as a feint to force a defensive reaction and create an opening.

By selling the switch, you can draw the check or shift their guard, then use the stance change to enter directly into your next combination.

The key is making the fake look identical to your actual switch kick.

One thing you DON’T want to do: panic and push away — that’s your first-class ticket to Knee Island. 😂🥊

Coach Sam’s bag drill for mixing punches with the rear-side attack. 🥊🦵

**Right Body Kick → Jab → Cross → Right Knee OR Right Body Kick**

The goal is to **re-enter with your hands after the kick**, then finish by attacking the body again. Keep your stance underneath you so you can choose the knee when you’re close or the body kick when you have more space.

Don’t just throw the combo — pay attention to the distance and pick the right finish.
