If you a right-handed, stance left foot should ahead over the right, create a position that your left fist is not more than 5-inch away from the face of your opponent. When you made this two elements, left foot step forward a little at the same time your release quickly your left straight ahead to the face. Whaaackk!!!!

Tell me if you hit him huh!.

Answer 2

Well, i am assuming that you already know the pengelum step, you've got rythm and footwork down, you're just needing a few additional pointers because you feel something is a little off, since i can't watch you i will try to cover a variety of areas.
First, think your face, to his face, it is one straight line, there is no ups or down, your hand never falls, it should be 7-9 inches in front of your face, depending on your arm length, just over top of your knuckles you should see your opponents eyes.
The way you hold your hand is like you are resting it on something, your hand is just hanging in the air, your elbow almost straight down, wherever it natually falls, don't stick it out sideways for any reason. Stay relaxed, keep your pengelum step going, the constant shifting back and forth on the balls of your feet is crutial to every action you will ever take in boxing, if you find you are having problems in boxing, look first to your feet, have other people look at your feet, have your coach scrutinize every action of your little toe.
ok, next: the step forward, it is not a big step, roughly the length of your own foot, when you do this you lean forward, but only a touch, just enough to keep your weight centered above your two feet, which will put your weight into your shoulder.
Now the jab: Fully extend your arm making sure the elbow locks, your shoulder will roll up and touch your cheek if done properly, you are punching with your shoulder with the weight of your body behind it. Remember you hand goes from your face to his face, elbow down, when you throw the punch your shoulder rolls up, your elbow will move straight up, straight up not around, not from the outside in, straight up. Full extension the instant your foot touches the ground, your hand will return along the exact same course it followed out, and will rest once again 7-9 inches in front of your face, you should be able to just see over your knuckles into his eyes, repeat such jab, then follow it with a right cross, bring your right foot up to about a foot length (notice how everything is dependent upon your own body size?) behind and a little to the right of your left foot, jamb the ball of your right foot into the ground, push, rotate through the hip into the shoulder, and punch from, your cheek through his face. That is a canadian amatuer boxer one-two-three. I would assume that it is the same in america, it's quick and powerful, just remember the feet.

Hmm, yeah i don't think i missed much, talk to your instructor about anything i may have missed.

Answer 3

u gotta "FLICK" the jab out there. gotta keep snappin that jab at your opponent. and a good way to practice this is to get into your boxing stance/form then stand next to/ close to a WALL (with your JAB arm next to the wall. this exercise will help you practice to keep your arm disciplined enough to throw a STIFF JAB without letting your elbows fly out. because when u throw a jab it gotta come out straight and rotate towards impact so that your 2 knuckles (index&middle) land on your opponent.

Answer 4

depends what your doing with it its o.k.to flick your jab if your using it to range find or as a dummie punch to set up a more powerful shot, but to do damage with a jab ,step into it.if a jabs landed properly and not just an arm punch it should be felt down to the shoulder.

Answer 5

Whatever hand you use, you jab with the opposite hand. Extend it completely out and bring it back twice as fast to your defensive posture.

Answer 6

Straight on through to a firm hit to the jaw bone!!

Answer 7

Answer 8

also remember to keep the hand your not punching with up to block counter punches and when you punch, do it straight from the shoulder also to help block punches
