Chapter Six

Try double and triple jabs, bringing your glove all the
way back to guard after each punch. Feel that deltoid
burn.Work on quickness and accuracy with and without
power. Keep your right arm in tight and twist your hips
a bit with the punching action to deliver stiffer jabs.

Jabbing with Footwork and Rhythm
After you’ve jabbed from a static position for a while,try
incorporating movement. Step into your jab going for-
ward and side-to-side.Shoot the jab as the left foot lands.
In between punches and steps, try your boogie-woogie
rhythm. Get into it. Try
to blend the punches
with the steps with the
rhythm with the action
of the bag.Find the beat
in the drill.

Stepping in with the jab.
Step and punch are simul-
taneous. The step adds
power as does a twist of
the hips upon delivery.
