Body cross

Take this slowly, stay balanced, and ask your coach when something feels unclear.

number

A cross to the torso. Same hip turn as the cross, thrown from a lower level.

Dip through the knees, then the same back-foot pivot and hip turn as the head version.

Straight down the middle at torso height, returning along the same line to your cheek.

The lead hand stays high. You are closer than usual, so the guard matters more, not less.

Dropping the head forward to reach, which is how accidental head clashes happen at close range.

Same punch, lower level.
