Powerful Jab- Is this an illusion?

[donnydarkoIRL]

A stiff jab is not only possible it is also highly useful.

I think we shoiuld all work on the speed of our jab, but we should also work on a stronger jab, which we could use on the defensive.

I usually move my feet the same, but when throwing a stiff jab, I throw it "across" the shoulder to benefit from my body weight.

What if you take a fighter like Jermaine Taylor.
In his fight with Pavlik, he had a light speedy jab.

In earlier fights like Hopkins he had a thudding jab, almost like a left cross.

Donny, It all depends where the back foot is in relation to the shoulder for drive and delivery. Also movement after the punch being in balance for where you want to be. One senario to get the idea is kicking a ball as hard as you can, when youve found the best way to drive the ball . Think where the back foot is in the relation to the shoulder for drive, thats where it should be after the jab

Somehow I've developed the habit of throwing my jab with my arm alone - not putting the shoulder into it. I think i've had this habit for a while but I have only just realized it because someone pointed it out to me on the weekend.

I know I don't put my body into my right cross enough because it's been annoying me for ages - now I'm thinking I haven't been doing it because my left shoulder is not foreward enough at the end of the jab to pull it back enough for a hard cross.

Could this all be to do with me being too heavy on my front foot Scrap or is it something else entirely?

You don't need to put all your weight on your back foot to have more power but having an even distribution of weight allows for more weight to be transfered which in turn allows for a more powerful punch.

Step into your jab and turn your shoulders and hips....it's good to have more that just 1 type of jab a fast one, a pawing/measuring one, and a powerful one you can change them up and confuse your opponent.


The best way to throw the 1-2 is with a quick jab using the momentum of the jab coming back to a defensive position to add more power to the cross. That is created by your core muscles in your back and abs, your feet and legs, and your shoulders.


You punch with your whole body

Its a biomechanical fact, its all where the head is its simple. If the heads not where it should be then the rest of the body isnt. That applies to any Sport .
