Weight transfer on the jab cross combo and step in left hook

[AlexKid]

Ok when I step in for a jab followed by a straight right, I find the jab puts all my weight on my front foot and my cross has the hip rotation but it dosnt have the weight transfer because the weight is already on the front foot!?

When I step in for a left hook I turn my stepping foot so the toe points inwards, this way I can launch the hook faster than stepping first and then hooking second, however all the weight stays on my front foot this way and again it gets full hip rotation so its strong but like the cross that follows the jab it dosnt get that weight shift from one foot to the other!?

Can you enlighten me?

ok, when doing a one-two combo (jab-cross), don't twist your hip fully AND don't shift ALL your weight onto the front foot UNTIL you're about to throw the cross (2nd punch). For a jab in the one-two combo, you basically only step forward with the left leg and add a little weight to the punch. Next, if you use momentum and twist your hip to face your opponent and shift all your weight forward, your cross will flow from the jab.

So, you shift it forward when you throw the one-two and then, when you want to add the left hook, shift your weight to the back foot and bring your right (straight throwing hand) back to your guard while throwing the left hook. When you throw the left hook, make sure you twist your right shoulder and hips back so you're stomach is not facing your opponent and you should also twist your back foot so your toes are facing away from your opponent (but keep it planted at the heel).

It's like fishing for lake trout... You cast your line into the water (throw the right straight/shift your weight forward). You want to hook the fish and bring it in (i.e. throw a left hook); pull back your right shoulder and hip and instantaneously shift the weight onto the back foot while letting the left hook go. So for a left hook, you move weight forwards and throw the punch shifting the weight backwards. Power's all about momentum (getting weight behind the punch).
