Combination attack techniques

Many times when we talk about combination in competition sparring, it is always usually about a combination of two or kicking techniques. Maybe at a start let's have some thoughts on our punching techniques. In competition sparring, because it seems harder to score with hands or many players are always trained in their kicking techniques more or even the fact that our punches are not that strong to score a point, punches are seldom or in fact not used at all. But sometimes even

though our punching power may not be strong enough to score a point, it should not be neglected as it is a useful technique in combination. I would think that at least if it is not strong as a punch, it can be a jab instead. The main thing is that it will at least have to create some kind of shock or pause the opponent's action so that we can score with our kicks.

So what is the combination attack technique we can use. It could simply be a punch followed by a turning kick technique. How can this be applied in sparring? When the opponent comes near, aim straight at the protector, performed a punching technique and followed up fast by a turning kick to the flank of the protector. If the punch is solid enough and the kick is fast enough the opponent will have less time to react to the kicking technique.
