Jabbing/Tapping the glove ATTN:Scrap

[Sharla]

OK I'm trying to get my head around this. I don't think I have any hope of understanding how t works for a southpaw just yet so i'm going to dumb it down for myself.

Are you saying that as an orthodox if I jab their right hand - say step in with the jab front foot only - step that foot out out when they respond - then i can go back in again and be inside. So effectively they have made up the distance for me because they thought I was much closer?

I kinda get that jabbing to the right side of their head as they jab might also help because if they drop or their right hand or overreach with their jab - which is easy to do - they are wide open. It doesn't seem to need a big slip to avoid the jab either - at least it seems that way for me in sparring lately.

Am I on the right track or way off Scrap?

Obviously you have to understand distance, why did I start this . For every action theres a reaction if you see a jab you react whether a slip aparry or to get rid of it knock it over your shoulder. Now normally when throwing a Jab you are getting your distance, or if the other guys smart hes getting his distance of your jab. Its playing games with his senses and distance, but for it to work properly your back foot wants to be under your back shoulder. So you can move it back and still have posture and balance to draw him after your jab touches to counter with long hooks or straight rights depending which foot youve turned with the step. The jab touching the back hand alters his perception of what to dotheres a fraction where theres confusion with balance. A good indecation of this is Joe Gallazagie, when he keeps hitting the other guys gloves he knows where there hands are and is safe and they are in confusion not being able to start anything, he will pitter patter while having a look whats on offer. Nothing upstairs then he will hook downstairs. Hope this Helps

I think it does help thanks Scrap

The only thing I'm trying to picture is getting in close enough to jab the right glove with your rear foot still under your back shoulder as opposed to stepping in with the front foot only momentarily.

I'm thinking that's probably where your diagonal movement vid comes in handy and the double jab. You've given me something to work on and play around with thanks heaps Scrap.

Thanks for this topic tried it today with the combination double jab - right to solar plexus - left hook liver and then jab out. The double jab to his glove delayed his reaction of his right so i slipped his counter jab while moving down and out to his right shoulder while firing my right where his right went over my head and went for the hook but didn't really connect well with it. But very damn happy that i finally got this combo working for me, so thanks you all i would give rep but it's not letting me

i heard one way the double jab is supposed to work, is the first jab stuns, and the second jab and cross come it at kind of an offbeat. So that your opponent doesnt even catch the entry of the following cross. So by your record it seems that you dont have to land those two jabs clean on his face for the double jab to be effective.

and yeah it is cool when you finally pull off a combination in sparring. Ive only began correctly throwing the jab, straight, hook to the body. When you land it, its a relief. Because you pulled it off once, you know you could do it again.
