Alright, back to the heavy bag series.

Today, each sequence will start with a leaping jab, followed by a drop, and then either a jab to the body or a rear overhand.

Getting a bit nerdy here — I’m starting with my weight on my rear foot. From there, I’ll square up my shoulders, push off that rear foot, and take a lead foot step. As I leap off that lead foot and fire the jab, the shoulder rotation shifts my head toward the rear foot. That drop creates the angle for what comes next: either the jab to the body or the rear overhand.

So the core options:
• Leaping jab → drop → overhand
• Leaping jab → drop → jab to the body

Key detail: watch the lead foot step and how the rear foot replaces it — that’s your pendulum step in action.

Leaping jab. Drop. Overhand.
Leaping jab. Drop. Jab to the body.

That’s all I got for today.
