2. WARM-UP + ACTIVATION (5–7 min)

Purpose: Wake up joints, activate muscle systems, tune in to rhythm.

• Jump rope or bounce-in-place (1 min)

• Arm circles + shoulder rolls

• Hip openers + lunges

3. SOLO STRIKING FLOW (15–20 min)

Purpose: Train sharp combinations, footwork, and breath connection.

A. Technique Combos (1–2 min each):

• Jab → Cross → Lead Hook

• Jab → Rear Kick (imagine pad contact)

• Cross → Lead Body Hook → Rear Round Kick

• Lead Teep → Cross → Step-off → Hook

B. Shadowboxing with Footwork (3–5 min):

• Circle left/right, step-in/step-out

• Feint → combo → pivot

• Stretch:

• Hamstrings, quads, shoulders, hips

• Forward fold → standing roll-up

• 5 deep breaths in fighter stance:

• Inhale: “Precision.”

• Exhale: “Power.”

Optional closing ritual:

• Fist to palm bow or open-hand salute

• Pause in stillness to honor the effort

CORE PRINCIPLES

• Strike with your whole body, not just your limbs

• Every breath = a reset, every combo = a conversation

• Rhythm over rage. Precision over pressure.

• The fighter’s mind is always calm—even mid-storm
