Correct form for throwing uppercuts.

[Trainer Monkey]

So if normal stance = 1,

I extend the stance = 1.5 by sliding the left foot forward,

I then shoot the hip and allow my right foot to travel to bring me to stance = 1 again.

Right?

BINGO

Back shoulder above back foot, turn the wrist to line the elbow with the knee and back foot. If the fist goes past the shoulder youve lost balance and power and direction with the next shot think saucer and cup lift the saucer take the cup off two sugars please.

i've been extensively practicing my uppercuts on the uppercut bag lately. I learned through trial and error what i was missing was the shoulder torque.. Now if only i could pull this punch off in sparring, i'm never positioned well to throw it. Pretty frustrating.

Also scrap, For the uppercuts, it feels awkward when i throw them with my head centered in place, I find i can throw them better when my head is off centered, but i was told that leaves my chin open. But i guess different situations call for different head placements eh?

As long as your shoulders are in line and balance there shouldnt be a problem, that is all to do with foot placement. A good tool to practice the punch is a wobbly board.
