But sometimes when I throw the jab there is a sound from the elbow and it hurts, sometimes quite alot, and I don't know why. The pain disappear quite fast though.

Once I made three such jabs (never done more at a time) before deciding this pain can't be a good thing. That evening I also felt a bit of pain in the elbow when I were doing some push ups. I actually felt a bit when I pressed my finger against a certain spot on the elbow for a week or two after that time (not by chance, pressed once in a while trying to find out what was wrong).

So my question is, is there something wrong with the form of the jab or is it my elbow?

Thanks for reading.
quit throwing your jabs so hard......throw them at about 50-60% for 2 3-min rounds until you have warmed up your elbows....then at the most you want to throw them at 70% never thow at full power unless your hitting something...if you do throw to hard you will hyperextend your elbows....possibly injure your shoulders as well......
