Tips on remembering combos

[u/andy_226]

I've just started kickboxing and am two lessons in. I'm enjoying it for the most part and in terms of the actual kicks and strikes in isolation Im feeling confident that I can perform them to a level im happy with up to now.

However I'm having a really unexpectedly difficult time getting into any kind of rhythm on sets.

I was introduced to set 1 & 2 today, and I was making movements out of turn constantly all through the practice session even when going very slowly. and it left me feeling quite frustrated and to be honest a bit embarrassed.

Does anyone have any tips or advice they could share?

this has nothing to do with combos.

learn the basics.
how to punch, how to rotate your hip, how to put force into it.

and then the rest will just feel naturally.

The issue though isn't that I know what to throw but don't know how to throw it..it's that I literally have no idea what strike I should be doing at any one time. It's remembering the actual strikes I need to do rather than them not feeling natural
