straight facts the easiest way for you to learn these six basic boxing punches is to have the
number system organized so it goes from left to right or lead to rear in this way check it out one
two three four five six which is the jab rear cross lead hook rear hook
lead uppercut rear uppercut why i like that style of number system and naming system is
it allows you to throw punches from odd numbers to even numbers
from left to right which means it's more rhythmic it allows you flow a little bit better and you
know the fact of the matter is when you're going combinations you want to be able to work in a flow
when you're doing boxing workouts you want to be able to work in a flow so let's review these six
boxing punches so that you are dialed in and ready to go every time you watch a fight or do one of my
workouts check it out the job is an odd number or from your lead side so all of your odd numbers are
coming from your lead side with this system so if you know it's a one three five or even a seven if
you're going past six it's always going to be from that lead side that forward side okay your jab
is right there is used as an offensive punch it's also used as a defensive
punch to help you get into position the jab which is also used more than any other punch
is always the number one or the jab so if you hear one you throw a jab okay the cross
is coming from your rear side so all of your rear side punches so that foot that's in the
back that hands that's closer to your rear foot are your even numbers the number two or the cross
the two is your first power shot it's used to counter it's used to set up the lead hook it's
a great way to scare people and to get that awesome knockout in it's thrown off often off
the jab the number two is your first power punch it's a great way to utilize that straight punch
power and for distance and it's also used for offense and a bit of defense always move your head
actually throw those punches that's the number two or the rear cross so if i say jab cross or one two
you're right there the number three once again comes off that lead side that lead hook i love the
number three because it's closest to your opponent and you can throw it really quick and sharp
because it's closest to your opponent it's a great way to get that quick reactive left hook power
both to the head into the body which should be 3b so that is a very effective punch to set up
the right hand or the rear hand as well also the rear uppercut that is the number three lead hook
so if i say lead hook it's here if i see the lead hook body it's there if i say three it's there
three b it's there that that is the three or the lead hook the number four so it is called the four
or the rear hook so it'll be a three
lead hook would turn into the four the rear hook so it'll be a one two four would look like this
if you want to work a rhythm it would be a three four okay two hooks to the head that is the number
four the number five that back to that lead side that lead uppercut can be thrown long like this
not a shovel hook which is a number seven you step in boom a little longer without lead uppercut or
a little sharper inside a great tool to use if someone's leaning in forward you can see
that hole between the arms a great thing to use if you want to get people to drop their arms in
with a body shot and work that it's also great to use off across and that lead uppercut you've seen
knockouts like that as a number five or the lead uppercut it looks like this on the bag you scrape
the bag or give it a bit of a shot the finisher the number six it's a dangerous punch to throw
but it's an incredible punch to land the rear uppercut or number six again that even number
off the rear side is a strong powerful shot you can throw it off a little bit of a showy lead hand
or leaning back to open up a little bit or slightly leaning forward with a shorter shot
the number six the rear uppercut so if i would throw a jabra uppercut it would look like that
and if i want to work a rhythm it could be a job uppercut hook cross
those are six basic boxing combinations or boxing punches you can learn
what you just learned right now the best way to do it is to go over it right now jab cross
