Help Returning the Jab Quickly

[Andre]

You really, REALLY need to have your biceps etc turned OFF during the punch, and the Triceps etc turned OFF during return -- sometimes that is actually easier to do by various other methods like "flicking" it out there.

Yeah there is a lot to it Herb.

Even a difference to be felt with a more 45% toward vertical fist and a horizontal fist or a mix of both with a twist, in regards to those muscles switching, also difference can be felt between a rising shot compared to a thrusting controlling shot, even the intention behind the thought behind the shot has a little bit to do with it all too.

Maybe to practice for a while having no intention at all and just think 'whip like' and from a touch low and fully relaxed to start with, could get the feel for speed better. Copy Roy Jones rising snap, think like your arms a relaxed but manic snake that strikes and gets back to its original position instantly.some dudes have the noise in their heads seems to even help like the crack of a whip. Like Mr Lees watah! The whole move forward and back and is done within the explosive expansion of air. It all helps.
Those blokes snappy jabs looked like lighting as well, because they could time the opponent and bodily move in with both feet adding to the whole momentum and power. Mosley too would slide in with his jab sometimes.
