Art of the Jab..

[Yuzo]

Getting an opponent off balance is a lot easier when you can utilize the jab for multiple purposes. It's easier to crack open a defense when you have a good jab that you can fool around with doing multiple things.....tapping the guard to lull your opponent into thinking he's safe, swiping the guard down, moving the guard around to open up a window for a hook or cross.

my thinking is a bit different. i figure why try to confuse him. he wont know what to do so now you dont know what to do either. but you give him the same jab. you relax him. he'll show you what he wants to do. and cause you let him show you what he wants to do now you know what to do.

give him the same jab.



he shows you he wants to get inside it.



you give him the jab he wants. you put your right hand exactly where he showed you to put it.



you freak him out he wont know what he wants to do with himself. but you relax him he'll tell you his life story.

Fair enough...I just think it's nice to have options because you're going to come across different styles and if your jab can do it all, then you've pretty much got the perfect punch for any occasion.

I don't disagree with your take on it though
