The Mechanics of the Jab

[Scrap]

No length is lost or balance, its all to do where the back foot is for flexabilty of movement, being able to turn it in balance with the Body. Also the Head being where it should be so the Ears and big Toes can understand the message.

I see, So straight down the centre with the jab,So as long as i pivot the back foot and the heel is in alingment.
I guess it's kind of like when the trainer holds the pads and youre coming across youre own body ie: my left to his left.It teaches you to pivot properly on the back foot.

I know it's splitting heirs here but with which knuckles,The two big knuckles index and middle finger?

Depends what the shot is and where its going.

Sorry but im still not really getting this jabbing to the centre thing.It feels funny to me when i come to far across to my right with it.
Should it just be my thumb or inside of my left glove that comes to centre?
Most coaches just seem to say that youre shoulder comes up to protect youre chin without really getting into where it should be landing in relation to centre.
If i stand in front of the mirror should it be like jabbing to my own chin?
I know im probably over thinking this whole thing but it seems to me like it would be important.
