That's all I really have to say.

Do I have to pray to this jab god? Will he grant me god like jab powers? How do I worship Him (or is it a Her, or both!)? Jab people in the face? Cuz that sounds like fun :boxing:

Worship it by studying and practicing it's techniques.

Agreed. The jab is the best and most important jab in boxing. Unless you're name is Roy Jones Jr., you're ****ed if you don't have a good jab.

That's all I really have to say.
vid or stfu lol jk when was your last fight btw?

vid or stfu lol jk when was your last fight btw?

Last February...

The fact that the jab is the most basic punch in boxing makes it underrated. A good jab is definitely golden to have.

Last February...damn son where u been at?

i think is a bit exagerated.....

The jab is God

That's all I really have to say.

Does that mean you're finally back in the gym? :D
Have a smoker mar 14th if you wanna come check it out.

Working,working and....working. My schedule was screwed up for almost a year.

Oh yeah? Where at and what time? I work on Saturday. I'm not back at the gym yet but my mind is clear of girls. It hasn't been that way in a good while. More focused.

Forgot who said it.

Got to agree to that, at some point that was my favorite punch.

Explain to us why you think it is an exaggerated punch? I, for one, would love to hear the reason.

Anyway, yep, developing a quick, sharp accurate jab is just essential. It can be such an easy weapon to overlook and train bad habits with. I see so many guys that think of it as a simple range finder and have a lazy jab. A lazy jab is worse than no jab. The counter opportunities that a lazy jab gives can easily get you KO'd.

One thing with the jab, I have found a lot of people go for too much power in it. Some don't train it properly at all and then others think of it as some kind of power punch. :lol1:

A jab should have enough schtick on it that it can bust up an eye over a fight, snap your head back and keep you from being able to walk through it, but most important, it should be quick and accurate. You want to be able to use it with variety. Doubling, tripling it up, doubling it to the body and head and finishing combination's with it to keep from getting countered as you step out or slide off to an angle.

Also, one reason you don't want to use it with great power is that no matter how strong it is, your main hand will have more power so you instead want it to be quick and be able to use it to distract. This is sometimes overlooked. Being able to use your jab purely to distract your opponent is a brilliant tactic and one of the main purposes for it. Shooting it out to keep your opponent thinking while it covers your follow up shot is most effective.

You can also negate so much with a good jab. Your own jab can negate that of someone with a longer, stronger jab. If this is the case you also need to develop great slipping and jab defense. But the jab itself is one way of defending against the jab. Also dropping your own jab over the top of a smaller guys jab can really mess them up......errr, I have gone off on a bit of a jab rant here. :lol1:

I love the jab. A brilliant jab is most important. You really can get so far with just a great jab. Look at Paulie Malignaggi, he doesn't have anything apart from a good jab, yet he's been a world champion and elite fighter for a long time.

Nice.....:boxing:

yeah the jab is a good punch, its not everything though

are you still 0-2, verse?

Oh yeah? Where at and what time? I work on Saturday. I'm not back at the gym yet but my mind is clear of girls. It hasn't been that way in a good while. More focused.

it's at my muay thai gym (sinlapa muay thai)
hilcrest and babcock
not too far from crossroads mall.
the date is March 14th and I think it officially runs from 11 in the morning till 5 at night; most likely the "sparring matches" will actually be from noon till 3 or 4.

good on yah about the girl thing. Hard to find balance (between the social life and the gym life); but it's worth it if you can do it.

there's some mma fights at cowboys dancehall - 410 & I35 (north east) tomorrow, saturday, march 14th as well. Matt should be there. I'm goin as well.

:haha::haha::haha:.........

having a good jab is great but you need more than a jab

are you still 0-2, verse?

No. 2-3. I was third in the Regional Novice Golden Gloves but shit happened. I'm just glad to be finally getting out of amateur. It wasn't nice to me.

I might be able to make it if I get out of work in time.

Ooops, the Cowboys Dance hall mma fights were last saturday, March 7.
my bad
pretty boring though, none of them had all that much stand up.

Truth. :boxing:

with a jab like mine, why yes, yes it is

The jab is a forgotten tool, if you watch fights not a lot of ppl use it anymore. Well as a setup punch.
