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
