Don't worry - I confuse myself often. As far as I know there is not a number for specific punches or kicks, i was thinking more in terms of the progression.

I think whatever "warms you up" works fine, though I like to do basic kicks and punches in my warm up to make sure the muscles I will be using are adequately warmed up.

The 4-5-6 would be the reverse side.
for example if you take 1-2 to be a left right combination (it could easily be a right left combination if you led w/ with rt hand) It could be a jab-cross. Or it could easily be a hook/ body shot.
by 1-2-3, in the example I gave I meant left jab-right cross- and a straight kick from the following foot - in this case the right foot. Then after retracting and placing the right foot side it forward and do the reverse. Right jab - left cross - left kick. (that is the 4-5-6)
Then when you have this working smoothly you could start to mix up the punches, hook- cross -kick. Then mix up the targets- head-body -body. Then you can add blocks, dodges, etc. What I was suggesting is try that an see if you like it. If you do, I would be happy to write out some more routines/patterns for you.
Send me an email if you would like me to, (I am sure Russ has my email)
