Suggested round 1 | Jab → Cross
Take the simplest alternating-hand combination. Work at a pace that allows your rear hand to return to guard and your feet to stay under you.

PRACTICAL DRILL EXAMPLES.
Suggested round 2 | Jab → Cross → Lead hook
Add a short horizontal lead hook without swinging wide. Turn the hips, then return to stance before the next repetition.
Suggested round 3 | Lead teep → Reset → Jab
Use the lead push kick to learn distance. Bring the foot back to the floor and reestablish stance before throwing the jab.
HOW TO TRAIN IT.
Suggested timing: 3 × 2 minutes
Work for two minutes and recover for one minute after rounds one and two. Total session time is eight minutes. Repeat only while footwork remains controlled.
Start with a consistent stance
Select orthodox (left foot forward) or southpaw (right foot forward). The program works with stance-relative lead/rear labels; there is no requirement to switch your stance during early technique sessions.
Add knees and elbows later
These require closer range and suitable protective targets. A coach should supervise their introduction, especially with a partner. The app allows progression to intermediate and advanced techniques as appropriate.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
How many strikes should a beginner combination have?
Start with two clean actions; add a third only when you can reset your stance and guard.
Can I change the default two-minute rounds?
Yes. Choose your own number of rounds, work duration and rest.
Is the beginner plan all punches?
It starts with simple boxing and a lead teep for range control. You can select other limbs as you progress.
Does the app require a coach?
No account or coach is required to use the timer, but qualified supervision is recommended when learning strikes or working with a pad holder.
