Duke Roufus Striking Formula 3.0:
Initiating Punch Attacks with Kicks-Episode 3
Greetings from Roufusport MMA HQ in Milwaukee, WI USA!
In today’s new DRSU segment, Initiating Punch Attacks with Kicks-Episode 3, Roufusport Head Striking Coach Scott Cushman kicks off the session with a sharp, high-energy introduction to initiating combinations using two quick front-leg kicks. The first is a light, attention-grabbing poke kick—not meant to drive your opponent back, but to disrupt their rhythm and force a reaction. It’s a setup move, designed to open a window without overcommitting or giving away your intentions.
Immediately following the poke, you’ll launch a second kick—either a front-lead inside low kick or a front-lead switch kick, depending on your distance. This layered approach creates just enough chaos to set up your punch combos with maximum impact. The goal? Disrupt their balance, create hesitation, then strike with precision. And as always, no matter how aggressive your offense, keep your defense locked in at 100%.
In the second half of our segment you see fellow Roufusport teammates training, including some of our team’s top names. Watch and learn as the team puts what they were just taught into practice over several rounds of spirited, controlled sparring.
We hope you enjoy this new segment “Duke Roufus Striking University 3.0: Initiating Punch Attacks with Kicks-Episode 3.” As Duke always says, make sure you’re “Having fun getting it done!”
Enjoy!
