Re: A faster jab
Scrap is the resident trainer on this board and is quite knowledgeable in biomechanics, and in particular has made improvements on boxers' stance/posture in order to derive the most mechanical advantage out of the body.
Here's one of his posts on the subject:

I don't like catching Jabs, too many bad habits down that road. Put it over the shoulder (as in slipping) is a better way or don't be there. The jab is mainly about finding where you are, before he does it's a 2-way thing. Movement is the key for the lie you're trying to make, no matter how small that movement is. Flexibility of movement and mind is the key to it. Hands above shoulders they are in the wrong place you cant punch, why the elbows aren't where they should be and have no response feel. Therefor the biomechanics have to be wrong to start the motion. Houston we have a problem... before launch.
If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.
