The Jab

Start with your elbows tucked in (pointing down) and your gloves tucked up
against your cheeks.

Extend your lead hand (left for orthodox stance, right for southpaw) as you
drive through your hips.

Ensure your left hand doesn’t drop at all during your punching motion – it
should take the shortest path possible from in front of your face to the focus

mitt/bag/opponent you are striking.

Before your arm reaches full extension rotate your fist until your knuckles are
horizontal to your boxing rings canvas.

Once your jab lands bring your left glove straight back to your cheek.

If throwing a double jab instead of bringing your left glove straight back to
your face opt to bring it about halfway back before rotating through the hips
once again and throwing another jab.
