www.myboxingcoa... - How to box in HD, the ultimate Boxing How To Guide on the Jab!
The boxing jab is the boxer's most important punch. The jab allows the boxer to control an opponent, be it on the attack or on the defensive. The jab provides a main method of commencing an attack and is consistently proven as a fight winner. Few things are more demoralising to an opponent as being continually popped in the face with a fast, accurate and well-timed jab.
Whilst we can talk about a fast and accurate jab, it's surprising how many boxers allow bad habits to creep in when using the jab. As mentioned, if the jab is thrown correctly it's a winner. On the other hand, if it isn't deployed appropriately then it's a key 'chink in the armour' that will more often than not lead to a flattened nose and an abject feeling of defeat!

I spend a lot of time watching instructional videos, and always come back to these. concise, easy to understand etc etc. Something as simple as showing the punch from different angles..... awesome

@myboxingcoach 7 лет назад

Thank you very much indeed. This is the way actual coaches present stuff, others often are quite vague...simple works best.

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

@TheTony22019 I read your other comment as well. That's one hell of a roll of honour. Winning an AAU title with just 35 bouts under your belt is a major achievement. And then getting ranked back when there was just WBA and WBC is even more impressive. Losing your mum and sis must have had a devastating effect. It speaks of your character that you have subsequently contributed so much to the sport. I'm truly honoured that you have taken some time to watch my vids. Thanks so much

@umittas3893 7 лет назад

I am from Turkey and we train with your Videos Fran. You do a great Job

@myboxingcoach 7 лет назад

Thank you very much, that is very kind and I am glad that my videos help

@deathmachine808 4 года назад

Good thing about these vids - they're timeless!!!

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

@ShuyuKoukin I understand and agree. In an ideal world we would always go forward with a jab so that we can 'assert' ourselves on the fight. But jabbing and moving together are 2 skills, not one. As a coach I am isolating the jab for the purposes of demonstration. In my Boxing Training Foundation available on the site I describe how to combine the jab with foot movement. Thanks

@benjipascoe563 6 лет назад

Just passed my england boxing level 1 coaching course, these vids helped massively. Thanks

@billywarren8585 7 лет назад

I was taught for about 6 months by a coach called terry mccloughlin, a scouse chap himself, mirrored alot of the things you say in this video here, always good to watch as a refresher to stop bad habits creeping in...great video thanks.

@35november 12 лет назад

I tend to watch your videos about a dozen times in a row, practicing things in between them trying to match what I see and your advice. I don't have money for boxing instruction, so I really like this videos. One of the toughest things for me with the jab was wanting to lean forward, and learning to push off with the front leg. I am glad you took the time to emphasize these details.

@myboxingcoach 11 лет назад

Cheers pal, really great comment. I know the level of responsibility that we feel as coaches making sure that our boxers have the 'right learning'. Crap advice in our game gets kids hurt. So, the fact that you feel comfortable recommending this stuff to your boxers is a great honour for me. I really appreciate it. If any of the kids have any questions tell them to post a comment on the site with a reference to 'IdleSurfer' and I'll get right back to them.

@djguy100 12 лет назад

I box myself and came across this guys videos a week or two ago. There are thousands of boxing videos on youtube but i have to say this man is probably the best person i have seen on youtube. His technical knowledge is fantastic and the videos are very well shot and very simple to watch and improve my own technique on. I have subscribed, love the videos, great job, please keep them coming.

@samuelsontraining Год назад

Been kickboxing for years. Injured and 42 yrs old, Fran, I'm learning the fundamentals from you.

@myboxingcoach Год назад

Thanks pal, glad you are enjoying the work👍

@WalterGomes30 4 года назад

Mr. Sands, your classes are gold. Thank you very much.

@myboxingcoach 13 лет назад

@aky19832001 Hey aky, thanks for taking the time to comment. Whilst you are slightly shorter than the average heavyweight, there's no reason why you can't out jab the taller guys. The key I suppose is to lean towards the counterpunching option. Show a feint, use a block or parry then strike with your own jab. If you can draw the lead of a taller guy, then their reach advantage is pretty much removed. There are articles on the MyBoxingCoach site that cover these skills. Hope this helps ;-)

@xxxShabbaxxx 9 лет назад

Thanks coach, I will train harder to be precise and accurate....this is so far the best explanation I found on RU-vid. I needed to learn defend myself in streets so I chosed boxing but was not really sure what to start with. Your playlist for beginners show the order in which one should start, thanks a lot for that sir. I didn't find such stuff anywhere else in youtube. Gratitude from bottom of my heart sir. Keep going and uploading tutorials.

@MONGOTV1r6 7 месяцев назад

Definitely the most underrated boxing coach on youtube. If people watched more Fran Sands instead of Tony Jeffries we would have a lot less terrible youtube boxers.

@soflogator 3 года назад

Wow, i feel like i just unlocked a lot of speed and power in my jab from just now practicing your instruction. Incredible! Glad I came across your channel, I like how you teach

@myboxingcoach 3 года назад

Fantastic, welcome

@myboxingcoach 11 лет назад

Excellent stuff. Coaching and fighting are very different. Certainly the latter can support the former, but taking that step into coaching from fighting is always something that takes a little time. Really glad that fellow coaches are happy to use this resource, makes me realize what I have produced is in some way worthy. Thanks.

@justinbroxton4383 2 года назад

I can’t believe I just got this for free. Keep up the videos, Coach.

@rbt4rbt 13 лет назад

Loved your greeat instructions on the jab. Don't give a tel, stay centered, return the jab the same way it went out. Very good advice and yet look how many people, including the pros who don't follow it. Again, thanks.

@myboxingcoach 13 лет назад

@alekoskipou There are a number of ways to throw a jab. The main rule is that you don't throw your weight behind it, you rotate the body and make sure the shot is controlled

@myboxingcoach 11 лет назад

Obrigada! De nada

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

Go and sign up to the free mobility drill videos on the site, these will help. It's about finding the right way to combine skills.

@abacgnu1 12 лет назад

man you are such a great teacher!! you focus a lot on using the full body to generate power..and from your videos really comes out that a boxer is not just a person with big arms!!

@myboxingcoach 11 лет назад

You're welcome and thanks for the comment.

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

There are indeed. 6 separate videos, one for each uppercut at short, mid and long range.

@AC-ii7yq Год назад

this video shows how to show a single jab without moving, slipping, etc. those are separate skills - all punches *end* with arm, never *start* with arm - accelerate like whip by turning lead leg inward - turn palm down at ~70% extension - never lean forward. If needed just *move* forwad - hand must come right back to guard

@myboxingcoach 11 лет назад

Thank you and you're welcome

@markant9534 7 лет назад

Hi, Eubank used to jump in with his jab but someone said he had a better jab than Roy Jones. I saw a quick study on how Jones used his jab to control the much smaller Pazienza in the 90`s, to me Jones was clearly better trained on the jab than Eubank have you seen these fighters and what do you think? Thanks.

@JimBobSeeker 12 лет назад

This You Tube Video is the most consistent with my own coach's instructions that I have seen so far. Very well done indeed!

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

@TheTony22019 Hey Tony. I got taken to the gym at the age of 6. First fight at 11 then boxed on to the age of 21. Did OK, got to represent England at under-19 level, had around 60 bouts. Started coaching at about 25, and been enjoying that ever since. From what I've noted in your comments, you've obviously got a strong boxing background yourself. what's your story?

@DoAction 12 лет назад

When I was younger I was taught to step into my jabs. Not just shifting my weight forward as you demonstrated, but actually stepping in with my lead leg, whilst keeping my rear leg planted. Might I ask, is this also wrong in your opinion?

@myboxingcoach 11 лет назад

Glad you like the Simon. Long may it continue.

@myboxingcoach 13 лет назад

@ILykToDoDuhDrifting We can always get countered, The risk is more around adding your body weight (by the forward momentum) to the incoming shot. You add power to the punch coming at you, never a good thing. Thanks for the question.

@myboxingcoach 13 лет назад

@3876samf Good question. There are a couple of right-handers who've become top southpaws (Hagler and Pac famously). However, my view is that the power hand should be held at the rear as this allows greater rotation and therefore more power. This said, If I have a boxer who likes to switch, and as long as the boxer does it well and at the right time, then no problem at all.

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

@bigsolo1 Thanks, and welcome back to the sport!

@JohnnyDooWopp 12 лет назад

@DoAction That is not wrong. There are many different types of jabs. This is a basic jab. Power jabs or stiff jabs usually are stepped in to, and they are used to stun your opponent or open him up or even just to close distance or cause damage from a long range.

@TehLawBoy 12 лет назад

Thanks for all your videos! Don't mind those idiots hating on your videos, that is basically the online world.

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

I don't like boxers to lean in because this potentially adds mass to the opponent's punch. Check out the Wladimir Klitschko article on the site, now he has a jab and doesn't lean in. Thanks

@sgt7 12 лет назад

I'm not physically able for hard training anymore. However, skill is something I can always work on. I find working on more dynamic footwork/head/combination drills, refining the basics etc to be quite rewarding.. although id still love to be able for the ring!

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

@sgt7 You're taking the right approach, sounds good to me.

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

Oh no, I've been found out. All those many years of boxing and coaching have amounted to nothing. Undone by such an insightful and clever comment. Back to the drawing board for me. I suppose that as long as you are not a 'hater', then that's all that matters.

@seanwilliams7968 3 года назад

best boxing coach on yt. You make a lot of learning possible for me, thank you!

@kellybob94 13 лет назад

This video helps so much, one of the best boxing channels I've seen

@myboxingcoach 11 лет назад

That's a good approach you have, thanks for the comment.

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

@TheTony22019 Not a problem, apology accepted, no hard feelings. One of those things but thanks for clearing it up.

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

@TheTony22019 Quite a dislikable person aren't you. I'm not an idiot, in fact, I've acheived more in 2 short years work on MyBoxingCoach than an angry, bitter and twisted individual such as yourself ever has. Do us all a favour, if you have any comments by all means leave them, just avoid the mean-arse bitter "never amounted to anything" personal insults. Seems funny, wasn't that long ago you wanted to talk with me. Dominated by your ego. I'll not respond to any more of your comments

@myboxingcoach 11 лет назад

Yes, 'MyBoxingCoach'

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

@abacgnu1 Thank you, very kind. Good skills will always win out over strength. Thanks again

@thehive7571 5 лет назад

I been boxing for about almost 2 years and the only jab I use is the flicker jab and it works for me best to set up my right

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

Superb. Well done for trying new things. Keep on pushing the boundaries.

@cantwhistleforshit 13 лет назад

@myboxingcoach It does. I just don't fully understand the physics, but I do understand the general rule. I wouldn't want to help the opponent any...Thank you.

@00jeffhardy00 12 лет назад

don't neglect movement for the easy way out, its vital to boxing! learn every aspect.

@johnlabarbera8546 5 лет назад

I boxed as a kid and trained with some pretty good guys/boxers. Well to make a long story short I got out of it after some years and I’m a bit older now but I am getting back into proper technique and it’s all the little things you forget and why. For the most part I am pretty sound with the basics BUT I love your videos to sharpen up and maybe fix that little thing I’m doing wrong. I’m not getting in the ring anymore I’m just doing it for the fitness and love of the ART!! Some of the best videos on RU-vid about Boxing proper boxing.

@myboxingcoach 5 лет назад

Hello John. thanks pal, really happy that this stuff helps you polish up on your style. It is really easy to overlook things over time, so good on you for having the mindset to keep on learning.

@johnlabarbera8546 5 лет назад

Fran Sands I have pretty good fundamentals but I am a bit out of boxing shape. I see some of these guys that are so called teachers and some of the stuff they teach is plain scary! It seems everyone wants to look and be flashy these days and they don’t learn the root of boxing all the little things. Them little things are very important to learn and I’d rather be fundamentally sound in basics then flashy any day lol.

@myboxingcoach 5 лет назад

There's speaks the voice of experience. The basics done well don't let people down. RU-vid can't convey the 1000's of hours that a young Mayweather, Leonard, Ali and anyone else we care to mention put in to enable them to get that good. My primary responsibility as a boxing coach is to look after the well being of the boxer, that involves drilling the basics of defence and offense so that they are safe to 'learn by doing' - there really is no substitute. Thanks again John, nice to have you watch my stuff mate.

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

Cheers Vick. I like to keep an eye on your expert videos too, very nice.

@Groesch7777 13 лет назад

Well I certainly know where im going from now on. Thank you so much for ALL these videos. Just starting to learn this incredible sport and my headaches are now gone from trying to find the right video, or the right book since im so broke and cant afford a coach/trainer. A true Master! And the playlist has started! Thank you sir.

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

That's a really nice comment. Thank you very much.

@YZGUYS 12 лет назад

Wicked tutorial. Clear, precise and on point, like my jab after watching this video several times.

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

You're welcome and thanks!

@marcmarckeeper 12 лет назад

Wow! Thanks, mate!! You're a really good tutor! A boxing beginner from Hong Kong.

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

@TheTony22019 Agreed. Some of the advice on RU-vid is worse than useless, it's reckless. Some of them may have had a few spars, or even one or two fights. But doing and coaching are two different things. Took me a year or two just to realize I wasn't the boxer anymore and to begin the process of learning to be a coach. Still learning years later and will likely never stop learning! Favorite fighter? Always a tough call between Duran and Hagler; two greats for different reasons. Yours?

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

You're welcome and thank you

@jameswadejr.3836 3 года назад

I was taught to quick step forward with the jab. My trainer told I could close the distance stepping in with the jab.

@emilianozapata127 9 лет назад

Thanks for the instruction!

@mrboomlive807 6 лет назад

Great video! Clear and precise breakdown. It's hard to believe you don't have more views.

@aky19832001 13 лет назад

Thank you sir! I actually implemented this a bit more retrain in sparring this week. I worked off of my jab and came in. But as you said, its all about timing and be able to sucesfully feint. I'm now realizing I can use being shorter as an advantage for me, make them work to punch down.

@mmareviewer.2372 4 года назад

The jab is the most important punch in boxing. Every other punch is only usually effective because of what the jab has already done, and no other punch will land as much as the jab. You will win all your fights with just a jab if you really had no choice but to do it only one way.

@Chr1s887x 11 лет назад

Great tips.. I already have a coach but I always try to gather as much advise as I can to polish every technique I learn so thanks for sharing mister.

@nfletch57 12 лет назад

Thank you so much for putting up these boxing techniques videos. I wouldn't even respond to these "armchair experts" that are so common on youtube. Its likely that the only boxing experience these individuals have comes from playing Fight Night on the playstation.

@Tousanx 6 лет назад

this is a great break down. Thank you sir

@myboxingcoach 6 лет назад

You are welcome, thank you

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

Funny, that word you used ending in 'er' was the one I had in mind for the original comment. Cheers mate, sometimes you need someone to point out the obvious way to deal with such things ;-)

@rbr8931 4 года назад

Very interesting I always wondered if you were supposed to slightly rotate your lead foot when throwing the jab.

@assasin006 13 лет назад

Loving your neww HD versions.Thanks for posting vedios it has helped us a lot. Plz keep it up.

@DeVineFate 11 лет назад

Jabs break opponents down. If you want to see a perfect example of a boxer who has a beautiful jab, Sugar Ray Robinson is probably one of the best, if not the best, examples you'll see. Jabbing is best, especially when it comes to not only breaking opponents down but also when you are trying to feel your opponent out, open up cuts/wounds, and so on.

@myboxingcoach 13 лет назад

@cantwhistleforshit It's more about risk management really. Even if throwing your weight forward did increase power (which it doesn't), I'm not sure it's worth it because of the additional power you give to your opponent's shot. If your opponent's shot is a big straight backhand, you really don't need to add your mass to their power. Cheers, hope this helps

@fitsafe868 4 года назад

Great stuff! Proper, meaningful explanation. I will definitely use this in my class. Thank you sir🙏

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

Thanks. I couldn't really give any advice on exercises following such a serious injury, physiotherapists give you any advice? The weight will come off easily enough once you get fully active.

@scoyle1750 5 лет назад

Have to say fran your uploads are lethal 👍🇮🇪

@thelastshinobi5002 5 лет назад

@Fran Sands One notice as a viewer.I suggest that you slow down the whole motion an and then show it on normal speed.And two questions Coach Fran. If you don't move the outer leg inside at the start of your movement and you pivot-rotate your hips only the movement is wrong and deliver half the punching force ? And i hear that the fists(fingers) should't be parallel to the ground cuz they may brake so one must supposedly rotate his whole fist to a point that his index finger is vertical as possible be to the ground so to avoid the breakage of his fist.Ty vm excellent video. I subbed also.

@myboxingcoach 12 лет назад

Eat sensibly (no junk food/fizzy drinks) and train hard. Do plenty of running too, great for aerobic fitness and weight loss.

@jmc151178 12 лет назад

@Iron-Bridge 11 лет назад

Very good concise instruction. Thanks & great video!

@PhoenixProdLLC 4 года назад

I just had a guy in my gym interrupt my jab practice by telling me I was throwing it wrong and he said to do exactly what you said NOT to. 😂 I do want a more powerful jab, but not one that forces me too close more of the distance than I may need or want to. :/ I like your way although I confess I often jab the bag when I'm on the balls of both feet because I'm moving around the bag. I don't think the jab always has to be about power though does it? You could feint with it, no? I'm not looking for excuses but I don't know if I'll ever have the kind of jab that could hurt all that much. We'll see :) Thanks Mr.Sands.

@myboxingcoach 4 года назад

Must be nice to have such confident and knowledgable associates in your gym :-) The jab is supremely versatile. Have a little look at this - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vv_BjzqG_Ew.html might give you some more options
