if you're attack is full contacts and your opponent is not physically nailed to the floor he's moving back, if not from the power of your kick then from his own evasive and combative movement.
unless a guy stands still in front of you and allows you to place these attacks on him in a controlled mannor I don't believe this sort of combination is applicable.
These combinations are designed to instill muscle memory when placed under similar circumstances in the ring/ cage.
Will someone throw this exact combination, in the same order in the midst of a fight?
Of course not.
So actually, we agree totally, believe it or not.
But any experienced fighter knows in the speed of combat, conscious thinking and planning is not practical. So we have to rely on the instincts instilled by doing combos exactly like this.
Ever notice how most of the current crop of MMA fighters are completely off balance by the 3-4th technique in a combo?
Its because most began as high school wrestlers that learned striking later - whereas boxers/ kickboxers seem completely comfortable during longer exchanges.
This is the benefit gained from practicing longer combos. So the theory states we sacrifice some realism for the flow and balance of multi-technique exchanges.
And finally, keep in mind this is not a combo for guys getting ready for the UFC Its a combo designed for white belts to practice blocking, kicking, punching and moving.
These are excellent lessons. Thanks for slowing things down.

Thanks for your comment, though!

you're welcome
I'd still like to see you apply this full contact, or at least 75% contact

After a good cross ('reverse punch') your target will more often than not be out of range for a second hook. If he isn't your cross is weak.
also after a good front kick the target is now out of range for a grab and knee. If not that's a weak front kick you have.
his technique is obviously nice looking but this is a symptom of years and years of training against imaginary opponents.
other than 5 minutes warming up with shadow sparring, everything should be done with a realistic target.
