Keep it simple: start at half speed, keep your range comfortable and reset after every repetition. If the shape breaks, slow down rather than adding another punch.
A session review is useful when it helps you choose what to repeat next.
Three beginner combinations
Jab–cross reset
Throw a relaxed jab and cross, bring both hands home, then take one calm breath. Repeat for 60–90 seconds.
One–two–slip
Jab, cross, then make a small slip to one side and return to stance. Keep the slip compact; it is a balance drill, not a deep bend.
Jab–hook–cross
Jab, lead hook, cross, then pause. Check that your feet and hips finish underneath you before starting again.
Finish with a step
Once the three punches are reliable, add one small angle or step away. The exit should make you safer, not faster.
A useful round structure
Try three rounds: one slow technique round, one steady round and one round where you choose a single combination. Rest long enough to keep your shape. Write one sentence afterwards about the punch that felt easiest to repeat and the one that rushed.
ShadowCoach can recognise common punches, measure speed and offer private camera-based cues while you train. It cannot replace in-person coaching, and the best result is still a session you can safely repeat.
