Correct form for throwing uppercuts.

[Youngblood]

Not sure regarding the correct form, but the uppercut is that punch that I rarely use, and never felt too comfortable throwing. So what I've been doing for the last few weeks is throwing it like crazy on the pads at home and working it into as many practice combos as I can. Already in sparring at the gym I am feeling more comfortable with it and getting better results.

It's our height/weight.

We usually get away with straights and are forced to cut.

But if we do, it could be extremely effective.

Oh I agree. I have one very good fighter I spar that is shorter and he is good at moving inside on me. Last time we sparred he slipped and came in as per usual and I had an uppercut waiting or him. Caught him off guard and knocked his ass right back to the outside.

It's a great feeling introducing a new component and having it work.
