The same thing is true if you throw it as a counter punch. For example (and I'm using two orthodox fighters here), if you slip inside a jab and then counter with a jab. When you slip inside the weight would go onto your left foot, necessitating weight transference and thus more hip turn than would occur with a 'jab.'

Thats brilliant Grey thankyou!

What do you think of this punch as an addition to the Jab? Its a punch Bruce Lee created.

The video below shows it. The punch is a mix of boxing fencing and wing chun.



Also what do you guys think of this Punch Bruce Lee devised? (obviously hands up would be wise his hands are down low etc but im talking just the mechanics off it)
