No.1: The Jab
What is a Jab?
A straight punch from the lead hand that moves along the sagittal plane (the central visual line) from anterior to posterior (Thomson, Lamb and Nichols, 2015).

Learning The Technique of a Good Jab.
-
Get into your boxing stance,
-
Hands up and elbows tucked in to protect the ribs and chin.
-
Transfer weight onto the front foot, with a slight lean forward
-
With a slight rotation of your front foot, twist your hips
-
This should bring your lead shoulder to your chin, protecting the chin.
-
Arm goes out straight with fist facing your face.
-
Arm rotates to face the floor just before full extension of the elbow joint.
-
Hand comes back rapidly to the start position.
-
Body twists back to a neutral position, or keeps rotating to allow a follow up shot.
