One that has worked greatly for me is probably the same one that you described. Jab to the face, Right Cross to the body (make sure he takes his guard down to block) and a roundhouse to the head. Jab, Cross, Roundhouse. Another combination that has worked "okay" is Jab-Cross-Cross. It's for use with a low-guard, otherwise it will miss a lot of power. Great for Kyokushin sparring. And finally, one of my favorites. More of a setup. Jab and create some distance, the put in a LONG front kick to fend off your opponent for a few seconds, then go ahead with a massive back side kick. Worked a few times. Side kicks in general are great, actually. As specially for defense. No combination needed.

I have a question on body conditioning for Kyokushin. So far, i have had people hit me in the stomach a lot. During sparring, even outside of sparring. Bareknuckle, with gloves, i even had a hammer used. I usually take the shots with ease, but i do feel a little in my solar plexus. Not of a worry as long as i turn my obliques to meet the blow. The question is - will this kind of conditioning have ill effects on my internal organs, and what happens to the abdominal muscles when it is punched? So far, all has been well, i only feel a bit sore the next day after a harder punching session. Is it safe to continue like so?
