What an excellent point about perfect practice. My old boss used to say "practice doesn't make perfect, it makes permanent." Do it the right way 10,000 times and you'll start to make it perfect.
Thank you for mentioning that you used to practice the jab on the heavy bag for rounds at a time. I used to do the same and wonder why no one else in the gym is doing it. I'm not crazy after all lol.
Tony Jeffries Appreciate your response. Not yet but if I will go over there in future I know where to go for sure. 😉🥊 Keep up that great work and your positive attitude!
I appreciate that you took the time to explain why the jab is useful as a way of checking range and setting up combos. Simply knowing how to jab is not very helpful when you don't know why you should be doing it.
Excellent demonstration Tony. I agree the 2 best punches in boxing are a consistent jab and hooks to the body. That normally wears them down enough to throw a few hard straights to finish them off
I use to be an Amateur boxer and I would use a a power jab in which I would kind of bend slightly in the knees and then leap forward and twist my torso while I threw the jab so that I was completely bladed and it was so powerful that I had some opponents and sparring partners tell me that it was just as powerful as any right or left hand straight cross that they had ever felt.
Amateur fighter & trainer here in Utah 🇺🇸 I’m always trying to learn and sharpen up my skill set for myself and clients, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Tony-
One of the best instructional boxing channels on RU-vid. Videos are great and notes and additional links are an excellent resource. Really set this channel apart from others.
"I hurt my right hand, so I worked on me left" bro same here. I broke my right wrist and all I did was jab and lead hook for about 6 weeks. needless to say, now my jab is quicker and stronger than my right cross/straight lmao
I always thought of my jab like a snake striking out. Elbow down, extend and retract. Telegraphing the jab with the elbow is the most important thing to work on from my experience.
@@ericrood2308 the jab is never going to be as powerful as a rear handed punch because the hips are not involved so be patient. Practice and form will only lead to improve. Poor technique will only compensate for weaknesses.
Great work, thank you for this one! The Jab is one of the most underestimated tools... especially beginners try to come up with fancy endless combos. Best thing that could happen is, that a real pro breaks it down: respect the basics and it´s a load of practice comming up with it
I had no experience at all in boxing. I started watching your videos. Now I have others asking me for advice. The only advice I can really give with confidence is telling them to watch your videos. I really love the one that said something like "Look like a pro when hitting the heavy bag" Once I started using the information on that video, I really got a lot of compliments some even thought I was a pro boxer. LOL Thanks Tony because of you I am getting better and better. Oh! did I mention the girls said they really like my moves LOL. Again, Big thank you, Tony, you're the best!!!!!!
Thanks for posting quality videos. I'm new to boxing and just started working the heavy bag(I figured why not learn to box during covid). The first thing I noticed when throwing combo's is that my jab looses power so quickly. Practice practice I will.
one cool variation is to bring your rear shoulder forward like you’re throwing a cross and since your shoulder is forward your left is loaded for you to step in and throw a hard ass jab
Good stuff sir! I teach the same jab extension and stepping principles to my karate and mma kids. No medals for standup fighting here, but I do like studying so I'm glad I found you. Take care!
I'm a beginner in boxing and had been wondering what to do with my leg when jabbing, whether to step in or not. But apparently, they two are two kinds of jab. Didn't know this. Thanks for the video.
Good stuff! I have been watching your videos, I like the way you explain the punch's clearly, I'm trying to practice for the first time, really good stuff for beginners.
@@Tony_Jeffries holy shit dude. 2nd time you responded to me. if you see this also i must say. thank you so much, im a 27 year old amateur. i just started 1 year ago. with your videos i advanced really fast and are now just a little bit away from my first senior fight. for some time i thought i only had 4 ways to attack my opponent. but now i have so many choices and angles to come from. alot of it is thanks to you. if i ever make it to england for a fight i will let you know :D
@@Tony_Jeffries Thanks Tony! Haven't seen this one yet. Next on my playlist. Thanks for the great videos. I'm a beginner and your videos are so helpful in learning the proper mechanics.
