1 Series Boxing Combinations
Posted by Admin
Quick Intro to Boxing Numbering
To recap and for those of you finding yourself on this page without having read the main boxing combinations page, we number punches in boxing - (again reverse for southpaws):
- 1-Jab
- 2-Straight Right
- 3-Left Hook
- 4-Right Hook
- 5-Left Uppercut
- 6-Right Uppercut
- And we put a B after the punch if it is supposed to be a bodyshot...
What is a Series?
This page will show you how to build 1 series boxing combinations. That's just my fancy way of saying that when you throw a 1 series combination, it consists of only one type of punch.
So, for instance, if you're instructed to throw a double jab or triple jab - you are throwing a one series combination because it consists only of the jab. If you throw a double right or triple right - again, you are throwing a one series combination because it consists of only one type of punch.
To note, one series combinations also include punches thrown to both the body and head - so a 1B-1-1B is still a one series even though it kind of looks like there are two diferent types of punches -- they are both still jabs, just different targets.
Most Common 1 Series Boxing Combinations
The most common 1 series combinations are the double, triple, and quadruple jabs. Occasionally, you'll see a couple of double rights (or lefts for southpaws) and you'll definitely see some 3B-3-3B combinations. You'd be best served if you mastered the following:
Jab One Series
- 1-1
- 1-1-1
- 1-1-1-1
- 1B-1
- 1-1B
- 1-1B-1
- 1B-1-1B
Straights One Series
This is not a natural combination as your weight transfer is not ideal for a second straight - you'll have to re-cock, but it has been done. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on these.
- 2-2
- 2B-2B
Hook One Series
Like the straights, these feel kind of awkward as the weight transfer for the first punch doesn't work well with a second hook, but they are easier to re-cock than a straight and used quite frequently.
- 3-3
- 3-3B-3
- 3B-3-3B
- 3B-3-3B-3
Make Up Your Own
There is no limit to the number of one series combination boxing combinations you can come up with. It is simply a matter of throwing the same punch in succession either to the head or body or mixing them up. The most important to master are the double and triple jabs as they are a key part of your offensive game. From there, branch out, try some others, and put the ones you feel most comfortable with in your arsenal.

I am 62 years old and I cant believe I don't see what was always my favorite combination. I was a very precocious kid and had many of the neighborhood boxing in my basement for years. (Truth be told my parents used to let me box my buddies in the living room at age 7.) We lived in a 2 bedroom apartment in SE washington DC and nearly everybody boxed in my neighborhood. When we finally moved into a house roped off 1/4 of my basement and if you descended the stairs and made a left you were in the ring.
My uncle gave me a very basic book on combinations (in 1956) and the first combo I learneed was always my favorite.
1. Deliver a straight sharp left jab.Bring back quickly to boxing stance. Key is speed of left jab.
2. Shift weight to left and deliver a left hook.
3. Step into opponant and deliver a right cross. (this is where you made your decision)
4. The book said that you then send a left jab step back and away.
The decision part in number 3 won many fights for me very quickly. If you notice that your opponant is reeling just a bit come back with another left hook and right cross. If I noticed my opponant was at all inflicted - I just continued hooking and crossing and dropped many boxers very quickly early in the first round and ended many bouts quickly.
When I got into street fights I used this almost exclusively at the beginning of the fight.Most people in street fights just go for broke and start throwing roundhouses. They get greaked out when you are coming at them cooly and calmly and thost roundhouses just throw them off balance. Within a few seconds I knew if I was going to make hamburger of my guy or if I was in for a fight. More than 90% of time this lead to victory quickly as few street fighters can box for didley !
If you got your guy fast and early he would not even usually have time to even try and tackle you as inadaquate boxers have want to do. I was fortunate in that regard also as I was a pretty goog wrestler also.
Oh- the good ol days.
what does slam means:
1-2-3-4-5-6 (jab, straight right, left hook, right hook (slam), left uppercut, right uppercut) or a 1-3-2-5-4-6 (jab, left hook, straight right, left uppercut, right hook (slam), right uppercut),
----------
Sometimes people refer to the right hook as a slam. Just another name for the right hook or vice versa.
oh , ok , thank you and i also want to thank you for teaching me this system because before this i really had no clue of how to put punches together besides the stuff that was handed down to me from my trainer from his trainer so on and so on. you would think after having 65 professional fights one would know this but that is not the case with me but like they say you learn something new every day and i cant wait to teach this to my sons. you have made training them much more easier. thank you again sooooo much!
