In this combination you will be doing a four strike sequence now. It starts with a front two knuckle punch followed by alternating leopard paw strikes and finishing with another front two knuckle. In Levels 4 through 8, the format of the videos will remain the same. Each combo will start by learning it to the air, then doing it against a partner. Next, we’ll add movement and then blocking and finish off by adding a kick to the mix.
