I nearly fall almost everytime, all it takes is a jab while i’m off balance like that and I’m on the ground.
are you flat on your feet??? are you stepping to the side or back or not at all
i would have to see the mechanics of your approach
what i can say is stay on your TOES… flat feet can leave you on a flat back
I just asked my trainer the same question this week. He said the trick is to move gradually move forward as you go through the combination because when you’re at an appropriate range to jab you’re not in close enough range to execute a hook properly. So you inch forward as you go. It’s tough, I’m still trying to get it down.

slow the combo down and don’t over commit. (just yet 
)
As you get more comfortable speed it up also remember that when you go to try this combination you can choose with punch carries most weight behind it.
What I mean is this. Shadow box the combo. Now on the bag. Keep all the punches fast but light, now all heavy.
Hard jab, light right , light hook etc.
Light jab Hard right, light hook etc
Light jab, light right Hard Hook etc.
You can choose which punch to bomb with.
You’ve probably seen the pro’s load up with a punch that misses and they spin round - probably take your head off if it landed but overcommited.
Generally, is only one of the punches Hard while the other two are light? Could one be light and two hard…?
sure you can but the idea is to get control of your body.
You could working a set combo on the pads and have your trainer call out light or hard shots.
We used to go from 1 to 10 with the jab increasing the power. Your pad man calls 5 you hit with that strength.
this may be hard to conceptualize but try to feel your momentum and learn to control it an flow with it… feel where your at, you want to learn what you can throw at different places… punching at different speeds and intnsities will change your combo… so the same combo can be thrown with different intentions…
good advise from all
it makes a change to post something sensible one in a while.
Teach the feet to move and the hands will follow
foot work is more important than the punch
Spinks would say so 
Yeah ,Im with that.
Practice around your swinging bag;
(Put your bag on a long rope and tie it on something high up so it has more movement ).
Side stepping ,back stepping ,forward stepping, turning to suit where you want to be etc,but always making your rear foot adjust to the new position for comfort once you are there for balance/mobility and power;
Try catching the bag as it swings on the way out as you take chase and your feet back you up for power on your second and third hits.
You can shuffle forwards with the front foot going heel to toe with the back one sliding into position as you sit on a punch combo for more finishing power but its a stilted move that has you set into a certain timing and you have to get back onto your toes to get out of there if things swing the other way! (Good practice to combine the both but think it through first so you know when and why you do it).
FOOT WORK IS ESSENTAIL
BRUCE LEE USED TO WATCH ALI TO LEARN FROM HIS FOOT WORK HE ADMIRED IT SO MUCH
too many people think of where there hands are going, rather than there feet, in this sport.
You know what the most important part of a punch is?
It’s what you do before and after, the punch.
If you’re off balance, or slow on your feet, then you don’t stand much chance.
Brendan Ingle (Naz’s trainer) makes all his new fighters, get there footwork right, before he’ll even let them hit a bag once!
Everyone has good points here to follow up.
It may be a simple case of your not bending at the knees enough or your over extending with out your feet coming back under you to position ; as the boys here say you may be concetrating on the arm and hook only.
The lower you get the more power you maintain into some hooks,the more stable you are also,but you are not going to get out of there fast. you have weigh up each situation and practice practice practice.
how do u throw
jab?
hook?
roundhouse?
is there any difference between a hook and a roundhouse?
Im sorry but i have never heard the term roundhouse as a punch
Hey everyone im 16 years old male and all that. my first question is i broke(shatered is more like it) my arm little more then a year ago(left one) and when i had the surgery my doctor told my i have more muscle then other kids my age (i have 4 screws) but ive noticed a loss and no matter how hard i try the right one still is so much stronger, i was wondering if someone could give me advice on strenghting that arm back up to where the right one is at?
Sorry to hear that ,at least at your your young age you will repair with less permanent damage than some of us oldies would.
Was that your strongest arm ,before you broke it?
HAve you been working out that side through specialist moves from a Phyisotherapist?
(sounds like your doctor may have just skipped that step) ?
Are you sore in any muscles or have you got like electric type shocks that shoot through the muscles on that side sometimes?
I ask, because i got shot through the arm at work a few years ago (just into the muscle with a piece of carborundum) and the energy just wouldnt flow and i suffered shocks and weird feelings
through it with a feeling of weakness sometimes.
That took accupressure and massage to clear that up over a long period working it hard with my fingers alot cleared it up.
Feeling my muscles I could feel lumps in them and knots from the time i could only use a few of them ,that were now over worked and now knotted up stopping me from using them correctly.
Work them out by rubbing briskly with oils so you warm up and get the blood flowing and then put major pressure onto any knots and hold that pressure so it hurts at about a level of 7 out of 10 ,10 being unbearable pain. And hold the pressure until the level drops of to about 3 or 4 or even none if the knot is a young one. that done over time will even out muscle structure so that you can then start to build them equally without minor damages stopping them building up to original strength.
(if you do this anywhere on your body),
Squeesing lumps out and massaging :
you have to drink at least 6 medium glasses of water over the next day so that you help wash out any natural toxins /acids out of your system that you have released into your lymph system.
then days later , you feel so much freeer.
Also;
Go right over your arm top and under side,using the tip of your thumb to explore (like up and down roads) and Any sore spots that have that weird feeling of 1/2 pain /  1/2 pleasure, are probably blocked meridians.It is fixing up these that stops the odd electrical shock feeling from occuring later.
You just put pressure with your thumb into them sore spots and revolve down slowly but firmly and work them out . This done over a time will balance energy flow to other areas too.
HAve a feel around your arm , fix yourself up, then get back to strength building.
Hey Andre thanks, my left arm wasn’t the stronger when i broke it but they both were colse in strenght so that with this drop i noticed it right away. the only time it starts i get the shocks thyp things is when im working on jabs for to long. i only went to a phyisotherapist one time for it the guy stood there and asked me to show him all the movements i can do( ripped rotater cuff also) and i did every thing he asked me to do and i lifted how he told me to and everything and i don’t know its still a difference i notice. like ill be dumbell benching 35lbs and the right can but it up easly 20 times and the left locks up and dosn’t move and dose that shocking thing after 15or 16. but ill deffentally do that massaging and all that to see if that helps. thanks again
