all right let's get into it how to punch harder with your left hand let me give you
a few examples now think about this every time you're throwing your left hand from this point on
there's three concepts i want you to take into consideration number one using your shoulder
to bring it back
using your shoulders to bring the hook across using your shoulder to pop up the uppercut that's
the rear shoulder we're working the left hand but think about using your rear shoulder to create
more havoc and more torque on that left punch the second thing is i want you to consider
transferring hip energy from the lead hip to the rear hip again from here you can pull your body
back towards that rear hip lead hip into rear hip think about that one as well you need to
know when to cut down the angles you need to know what distance you can throw your hook at
so you don't miss the bag and also when you're throwing that left jab you need to
understand of how much distance you need to step in to make it effective
now let that sink in and let's think about the left job and the lead
hook and we're going to give you some basic easy to follow ideas on how to punch harder with the
left hand when you get really comfortable with generating force with your body to step in it's
a game changer imagine this i'm 180 pounds i throw a left hook you're taking 180 pounds of pressure
against your head but imagine if i'm using my 180 pounds of body weight stepping in with that
and throwing that against your head now you have 180 pounds of energy with my body weight
mixed in with more torque maybe five or six hundred pounds per square inch if you combine
that together that's a knockout punch so take that into consideration now before you even step
keep this hand right here but just simply rotate your rear shoulder back
as you throw it when you start to rotate your rear shoulder and really extend the lead jab you're
adding extra force because you're using the entire top half of your body and it also allows you
to be very fast and crisp with that jab now i agree that for some people that's not going to
work some people prefer to step some people don't have the mobility to turn their torso
so that's okay so here's the second way when you're here in position if you feel
like this is way too far or you're flaring your elbow out too much when you bring the
elbow or the shoulder back instead of that keep your hand in the front and take a step
with the jab when you throw it and i don't want you to step more than a foot length when you throw
that jab with power as you step forward you're really again closing the distance not just with
your jab with your body and again at 180 pounds plus torque you're really generating a lot of
force to make contact with that whether it's on the heavy bag whether it's on your opponent when
you're sparring but stepping into it with control and precision is going to allow you to not waste
energy and land a powerful job that's important that's why we're here the other thing is is i
want you to think about both of those together torquing the torso and stepping at the same time
that right there you put that together with confidence as you step into it and
not allowing your hands to drop as you step will give you devastating power from your left hand
now let's go over the lead hook the lead hook the
left hook is one of my favorite punches of all time in boxing and there's a couple very simple
points for you to understand how you can throw with power is being able to throw this hook
on an angle because what happens is a lot of times when you throw your lead hook like this if you're
especially if you're new you'll scrape like this on the heavy bag but if you step in to close the
distance on an angular position you're attacking more to the side of the head or behind the ear
and that's when you call make people get really wobbly in their legs because you've caught them
further back on their head so i don't always want you to think about just hitting the heavy bag
i want you to think about cutting off the angle and then when you cut off the angle transfer that
energy from the lead hip to the rear hip land that powerful lead hook you add that with your lead job
with those all of those concepts and principles and you will be landing knockout shots you will be
crushing your heavy bag workouts hand pads because that is how you throw a hard punch with your left
hand put those to work and in the comments let me know how they go and of course guys if you want to
