3 steps 1 punch

[-N-]

You may start from

1 step 3 punches -> 1 step 1 punch -> 2 steps 1 punch -> 3 steps 1 punches.

If your punching speed keep the same, it will force your legs to move in fast speed. To apply your "chain punches" when you stand still is easy. To apply "chain punch" when you have to advance 3 steps for each punch of your "chain punches" is hard. Your training start to transfer from "static striking" into "dynamic striking". That's the right training path IMO.

Agreed. And same for kicking as well. And for everything combined too.

Then it gets to he point where punching, kicking, footwork/running all can have their own timing without holding back the other, but still be able to freely coordinate for power.
