Absolutely. I had over 50 amateur fights and I was always concerned about throwing perfect technique. I could had more stoppages I believe had I thought this way.
@@Keiran-qr2ty yea man cmon now that’s kinda rude. homie wasn’t scared of throwing. He was trying to throw *P e r f e c t l y* and as such passed up on a lot of “imperfect” shots even tho he now knows probably would have landed and done something even if a little as opposed to waiting for that perfect moment and getting nothing if it doesn’t come. it’s great to be a stickler for form but sometimes ya just gotta thump on somebody
The advice at the end is some of the best advice ive heard in a while. "Don't over compliment things. You are just trying to put your knuckles in their face."
@@shadowlordwill9685 for the casual sportsman who trains 3 times a week it takes 4 years.. Sure when you train harder you will hit the 100k faster. But it is just meant that it takes very long practice to perfect the jab.
I’m an european newbie, practicing Krav Maga. Your videos are a bliss. Accurate and serious, with that touch of humour that alleviates the violent side of the stuff and brings it back into the sports field. Keep on going, wish you all the luck.
I've been shadowboxing in front of a mirror for about 4 months now through quarantine, while watching your videos on the jab. With the science and physics behind the jab, I've been learning and constantly adding to the technique (trying to make it the best punch I have.) Practicing today in my fifth 1-minute session, I tried a different approach: Doing all the things my body should do with a jab, except throwing the actual jab. And it seemed to help me understand how I've developed a little. I notice from the footwork set-up, building a stance (posting on back foot), small jab-step forward/exhale, slight hip, body, shoulder rotation/slight lean forward, back hand moving to block a lead hook/counter and adding a little more to the rotation...the jab ends up feeling like it wants to come out by itself. Is that the right order of steps to deliver a jab, and are those steps the reason why it naturally wants to come out?
The last sentence were something I trying to go thru with my way of training. Lear the fundamentals, proper technics, but if You feel something may be good try it out, experience your body by not letting your coach to strip You, your way of being a fighter👊 But always respect the fundamentals👊
I actually used the down-jab to defend myself in a street fight recently. The guy was throwing heavy punches. I was blocking and ducking to the right. I threw the jab and caught his chin. This allowed me to create enough distance to escape the fight without harm.
I just reflected on how far u have come shane i have almost been here since the beggining it amazing how great your technique has gotten and the teachings u teach are amazing congrats shane absolute legend
I never like videos... I will like this one because u put your ad at the end ! So much respect Shane old fan of the channel. Wish you all the best brother.
Nice video im a new boxer and didnt know there was this much variation to the jab . My coaches just teach the standard way. I guess which is a good base to learn the others.
corkscrew punches are awesome. you can throw it with any punch... like a curve ball to the face. I drill them all the time. been watching a lot of your videos man, good education for beginners and advanced martial artists or fighters. it's cool you do this man, it gives people a chance they wouldn't have. you've probably saved a lot of people from getting hurt
Great post. The scariest jabbers are the ones that can make all their different jabs look the same until the last second so you don't know which one they are throwing until it is too late.
One downside to training a lot on a double-ended ball like this is that you're training for a fighter that's 10'' shorter than you, whereas it's generally a better idea to train for equal or taller opponents.
The first jab looked like the flicker jab created by Thomas Hernes. Also impressed that Shane knew what the Gazelle Punch was. I know boxing fans how haven't heard of it or Floyd Patterson.
"Modern boxing turned the jab into a weapon to measure distance or make openings for a bigger punch when it was supposed to be an explosive knock out punch just like the straight"
Nice one, dude. I do all of that, and can garantee everyone of those works, in the right time. If you can only punch from one position, in one single way, its gonna be a lot easier for the oponent to read you.
Yeah you wanna do the same in mma, lighting out, lighting in, unless you're doing the "stick it in their face" thing, always need the hand back for defense like in boxing.
#3 is the old style Bare Knuckle Boxing jab. Look into Carl Cestari. He’s an absolute genius when it comes to bare knuckle fighting and other types of combat. Awesome video and love the channel.
My first teacher of kickboxing teach me a very different jab of what I imagined,some kind of straight jab, almost a long jab,I couldn't argue with him since I was novice but waste some extra energy to generate damage,I use jab more to check the distance and more strategic.
Hey Shane, how does one throw a jab to the body in Muay Thai? Some say one has to "level down" a bit before throwing it but wouldn't that leave you open to head kicks? Others say that you just have to throw downwards from an MT stance but wouldn't that leave you open to kicks as well? Or are both correct and its just a matter of personal preference of which one to do?
Best option is when they throw a roundhouse kick that's your opening to do a quick jab to the body, because as Muay Thai fights transition towards a roundhouse kick it takes a good 1 sec to see the transition of the left leg for a set up. BUT!!! They'll probably see through you and bring your head down and knee you.
Nah, there IS a difference between the up-jab and the Flicker jab, they are similar as are the rest of the jabs family. The up-jab is supposed come from out of the opponents field of vision - from below. The flicker jab is more of just a disrupting rhythm kind of jab, it has way less power but more speed and doesn't come up from under the opponents field of vision like the up-jab - it can come from a textbook boxing stance with the Hands Up. The up-jab is more of a defensive deceptive move because it's supposed to make you look "Open".
The up jab is by far the best jab,it’s disguised from the hip got to be followed instantly with cross or back hand hook,flicker jab is less powerful and more when your in philly shell or leaning back trying to get someone to attack you,basically a backfist,Bruce lee vertical punch is most powerful,
If you have a long reach then the pawing jab (no.5) is a good one. Thomas Hearns would use it well to set up the chopping right hand, see his quick knockout of Roberto Duran.
I love how Lomachanko uses his jab. He's always throwing his right hand, at weird angles too because his god mode footwork. Wearing fools out with that jab though haha. Edit: Oh shit I made that comment before I saw you start talking about Loma. Of course though you couldn't not bring him up while making a video about getting creative with your jab.
hello sir you done an a amazing job regarding kickboxing/mma workout but its not understand which plan follow first so please arrange your kickboxing/mma workout video in manner to understand like foundation. proper month wise schedule.
I feel like people spend too much time on the powerpunch rather than the jab. The knockout punch should hit harder but the jab is the most thrown punch and should hit hard aswell
Jared Vazquez yea I want to work on more of my jab I already know I have power but I need to practice my speed more because isn’t all muscle is going to slow u down?
My only experience with Boxing is when the basics were taught to me back when I trained Taekwondo, but it was run more like a kickboxing-influenced class in a way, so they taught more than just the standard fare. (They taught forms, but fused Boxing-style punches and footwork in with the kicks of Taekwondo when it came to sparring.) I say this so it is known that Boxing is not my wheelhouse past how it can be used with other styles. Of the martial arts I've practiced, Boxing is not one in which I am fully trained or experienced, although it does heavily influence how I fight and train. As someone who isn't a proper Boxer, I usually use a probing jab while in the Philly-Shell stance because it keeps me guarded while I'm still maintaining distance before I start throwing a harder jab once I feel I have my opponent's own methods pegged or I find a good opening where a hard jab or some other serious punch is effective. My primary experience is in grappling (Judo and Combat Hapkido being my base in that regard) so I've always been most comfortable getting in close, even when I am throwing punches, elbows, or other hand strikes depending on the scenario at hand. I find it to be something that works for me in order to gauge my opponent, look for those openings, defend their punches, and counter once I'm in a good range to do so, which for me is usually pretty close. I like to try to create openings on my opponent's body so I can attack areas like the ribs, solar plexus, etc. and then make my way up so to speak. I don't grapple or kick nearly as much as I used to before a serious back injury caused me to deal with chronic pain to this day, but I've noticed my grappling instincts seem to appear in how I strike, and so far this has been an advantage in sparring and even when I have had to defend myself in an actual fight, which thankfully the latter doesn't happen that much anymore. I bring all of this up because I would love to hear back from anyone who has ideas on new things to try that would prove effective to add to my methods, an example of which I feel my previous statements in this comment describe. I would also like to know if my Philly-Shell/Jab combination could be improved. I would also love to see a video on using different guards with certain types of punches/elbows/hand strikes in conjunction if such a video doesn't exist already on this channel. I hope that anyone who takes the time to give me some tips on how I can improve is doing great and I want to thank you in advance for your time and expertise.
New to your channel. I can see what you are knowledgeable but I may just have a different way of learning. #3 I would also mention the reason why its "upside down" is because the palms are up in supination. Which I like to describe as "holding a bowl of soup". The confusion between an uppercut and corkscrew is that they are both palm up, but differ where the power comes from
ive been experimenting with throwing a jab without twisting my arm. kind of like a jab/hook hybrid. it feels harder and faster. and a lot more comfortable. but i know its "correct" to turn my punches. idk. imma experiment with it in sparring tomorrow
I’ve started using long guard in Muay Thai over my orthodox stance but now I’m struggling to incorporate the jab to set up kicks, which was a key reason for using a boxing oriented guard originally.
What about the Mexican jab? GGG uses it a lot where you don't turn your fist over and you throw it straight down the middle so you can split the guard easier?
Can u do a video of best fighting equipment i'M starting to start boxing at the house just that I don't know what to get BTW love your videos bro keep it up
Dam that's fun, and me too I'm starting it out either in the backyard or my room. If you want the bare necessities I would have to say, perfect size (gloves) for your preference of fighting styles. Heavy bag (punching bag), mouth guard, and shin pads.
