1 - Jab
Jabs are quick, straight punches performed with the lead hand, requiring minimal torso rotation. This punch primarily targets the opponent’s upper body or head and serves as a fundamental tool for controlling distance and setting up combinations. The jab begins with a slight push from the lead foot, transferring energy through the leg and core. The lead shoulder flexion goes vertically as the arm fully extends vertically in the elbow joint in a straight line, with the forearm rotating slightly inward upon impact. The non-punching hand remains high to protect the face, and after landing, the jab retracts swiftly to its original guard position.
2 - Cross
Crosses, also known as rear straight punches, are executed with the dominant hand and involve significant hip and torso rotation to generate maximum power. The movement starts from the rear foot, which pivots to drive energy upward through the hips and core. The torso rotates forcefully as the punching arm extends in a direct line toward the target. The fist remains vertical or slightly turned inward upon impact. A properly executed cross engages the entire body, ensuring efficient energy transfer from the lower body to the upper limb. Once the punch lands, it quickly retracts to the guard position to maintain defensive readiness.
3 - lead hook
Lead hooks are powerful side punches executed with the lead hand. The movement begins with weight transfer to the lead leg and a subtle pivot of the lead foot. The torso rotates as the elbow lifts to shoulder height, positioning the arm at a roughly 90-degree angle. The punch travels in a curved motion, with the fist oriented either palm-down or palm-inward, depending on preference. The lead hook is highly effective at targeting the opponent’s head or body, utilizing rotational force to generate impact. After making contact, the arm retracts back to the guard position.
4 - Rear hook
Rear hooks are delivered with the dominant hand and involve the entire body’s engagement for maximum power. The technique starts with a weight shift onto the rear leg, followed by a strong pivot of the rear foot. The torso rotates explosively, guiding the arm in a wide arc. Like the lead hook, the elbow remains at shoulder height, and the fist orientation can vary. This punch is particularly effective for generating knockout power due to the full-body movement involved. Once the rear hook lands, it returns swiftly to the guard to maintain defensive positioning.
