In addition to 'controlling the room', there are some specific attacks that will work very well on people moving backwards. This video covers them, in the least confusing way possible... possibly.

Combinations must start with both hands... here are some ways to enter with your right hand, a quick set up, and the trick to making right hand entries safe.

Here's one way that your opponent might take advantage of it. (Conversely, I would recommend that YOU use this, should your opponent's combos always start with a left hand.)
(You might want to watch the overhand right lesson first.) This is an amazing 'set up'. If you know that your opponent is leading with a jab, it should be lights out!

Any time you throw a kick to the body, it might be caught. Expecting that is a great way to get out quickly... in addition to one other added defense (which sets up a brutal knee to the face).

The more times you punch someone in the head in short succession, the more likely he is to fall asleep. Here's the secret to hand speed.

1 = Jab
2 = Cross
3 = Lead Hook
4 = Rear Hook
5 = Lead Uppercut
6 = Rear Uppercut
Let's start with Hand Speed. If you see an * (asterisk) after any combination, that means it's repeated non-stop. For example, 1-2* means 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2 (and so on) for the duration of the time period.
Try to move in multiple directions, really twist your torso, make sure that you're feet are coordinated correctly. This is not a bunch of 1-2's... it's a continuous stream of 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2 etc. (aka 1-2*)
At the end of this shadow boxing, you're going to do a punch sprint, so make sure you're fully recovered.
If you have a heavy bag, make sure you are hitting it hard. Extend your arms fully and DO NOT STOP until 60 seconds are up. You might want to vomit after 30 seconds, but you must push until you hit 60.
I'm sure your shoulders are burnt, so keep moving around on your feet, and let your arms hang if necessary.
This sprint is going to suck more than the first... so just get through it.
Keep moving around, but rest.
The following combinations should be thrown as fast as possible, with good footwork. If your footwork breaks down, you must slow down.
10 x (1-2-1-2) ... ten sets of jab - cross - jab - cross, a 4 punch combo.
10 x (1-2-5-2)
10 X (1-2-3-2)
Switch your stance and repeat the same combinations:
10 x (1-2-1-2)
10 x (1-2-5-2)
10 X (1-2-3-2)
Occasionally start with your right hand!
1-2-1-2-1-2
1-2-1-2-1-2-1
2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1
Through... 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2
10 x (1-2-1-2-Dip-2-3)
10 x (1-2-3-Dip-3-2)
10 x (2-1-Dip-2-1-2-Dip-3-2-3-2)
10 x (1-2-1-2-Dip-2-3)
10 x (1-2-3-Dip-3-2)
10 x (2-1-Dip-2-1-2-Dip-3-2-3-2)
Throw 20 Mule Kicks on each leg, increasing in height
Throw 20 Front kicks on each leg, immediately followed by the mule kick before replacing your foot on the ground.
Slip while throwing 20 overhands on each side
Throw 20 more overhands on each side, followed by an Uppercut... i.e. Right Overhand - Left Uppercut.
Begin with the following combination lightly for 60 seconds: 1-2-3-2-1-4*
Ideally this should be on a heavy bag... if you need to rest your arms, feel free to dip slip between punches 😉
Even just 3 minutes of punch sprinting is a hard workout... so everything else on top of that makes this a tough one!
You're done!
