Where do you move to if your opponent doesn't move back? (I usually stay where I am if this happens to maintain distance) I used to just move straight back myself but heard you're never meant to move backwards in a straight line (Why is this by the way?) so when I'm shadowboxing lately I've been stepping to the side instead? Just wondering does it matter what side you step to, does it depend on the opponents stance for instance?

It's okay to take a step back, but just don't lean back!!

Here's a list of things to consider after you jab...

You've got to practice the in n' out motion. Step in and snap your jab simultaneously and get out of the way as quick as you can by stepping back, moving to either side or bobbing.

The most important thing is keeping your eyes on your opponent , keeping your hands up and chin tucked after every punch.

The reason why coaches prefer someone to step to the side, rather than stepping back after you throw a punch or combination, is because by moving to the side you're moving out of your opponents way. Most fighters counter by either throwing a jab back or a straight punch or a combination of the two.

What you can also do after you've fired a single jab, is throw another jab as your stepping back to offset any counter your opponent tries on you.

Below is an example of someone stepping in with a jab and then stepping back with a jab.

so after watching youtube training videos your an expert now when u don't even know **** lol :chairshot

Well, the first thing you should move is your head.

so after watching youtube training videos your an expert now when u don't even know **** lol :chairshotDude, shut the f**k up. I was just giving him a visual, d*mb ****. The thread starter wants to learn, what better way to show someone by giving him instructions via video .

And plus, many trainers show their fighters videos of other fighters so they can learn from them. In fact, Iceman Scully(a former fighter,now a trainer to pro fighters), who is a member on this site was talkin about how he would show his fighters vids of other fighters.

When I use to box, my trainer and I would watch videos together all the time to get an even better idea of what he was trying to teach and also show his students how the masters do it.

Oops, I just noticed your sig, now I understand why you're acting like a b*tch towards me. Sorry man, you need to bark at PAC not me, hehe

Good advice but wont work everytime - this should be a way to test your opponent out, not what you do after every step in jab.
Practice other combinations like this one though....personal favourite of mine - step in with a jab, cross, left hook combo to the head, then throw a right straight to the sternum or a right hook to the ribs.

Well done for showing him vids m8, good way to learn, i've bought the career fights of all my favourite fighters to learn from the best as you said.
Helps so much you wonder why everyone's not doin it.
But it puts the smart ones in front eh

maybe u the one who want to eat, since u eating anything that is why u became a fatass :popcorn: :wave: :bottle:

Your clearly a retard who has no positive input in anything you do in life.
Your obviously not a boxer, but you are probably a mouthy little prick that goes around being ****y because he goes to a gym and hits a punchbag every week - news flash, that aint boxing kid.

not a boxer lol i can easily beat d **** out of him if i sparr him,i already saw him and got no skills and he does not know anything he is just like one of the many posers posing around here. And it disturbs me i can't stand it that people that don't know **** are giving advice to people like they are experts. lol

You're the worst kind of poster here. I, like the ts, come on these boards for advice from those with more experience, and its people like you who ruin these boards. You offered no advice whatsoever. In fact, you haven't even said much that has made any sense. The only thing you've done is try to talk about how much of a badass you are using really bad English, and you failed miserably at that. Yea, you sure showed us, we're all in awe....

Thats what I'm talking about dude:). If I'm trying to Box someone and stickin' an movin' whats the best way to actually move to??:)

Thats what I'm talking about dude:). If I'm trying to Box someone and stickin' an movin' whats the best way to actually move to??:)Well, it depends if your opponent is a righty or lefty.

Since you're asking what to do after you jab(I'm assuming you're a righty), then you'd move to your left. But you don't want to be predictable, you kind of want to mix up your movement between moving to your left and right.

**usually, you'd want to move to the same direction your last punch came from. So, if you threw a jab - straight and finish off with a left hook, then you'd want to pivot or side-step to your left as well**

Also keep in mind, or try to figure out which is your opponent"s strongest punch, you obviously want to stay away of the direction of his most powerful punch.

i would not give an advice unless im good at it, unless your a poser posin like u know something when in fact u can't even do what u talk about and don't really know anything. :D :dance:

I am to lazy to read the other replies right now, but one of the best things you can do to someone who stands still after eating a stiff jab, is pivoting to the right(Or left if you are a south paw) and throwing a hook.

Even using a lazy "pawing" type jab to set up this combo can be detrimental. You can also use a lead right(or left) to pivot off and land the hook. You are not really trying to hurt them with this first punch, more less "shade" them, so they cannot see you pivot. The hook is the main blow. The punch that hurts the most, is the one you do not see coming.

The pivot to hook is one of my favorite combos. This is not very easy to master, as you must be quick not only on your feet, but hands.

There are plenty of other punches to throw after a stiff jab that lands, and an opponent stands still. You can come in with a right, and follow with a hook(Classic 1-2-3), hook off your jab, dip down and come up with right / hook.

There are a ton of options. It depends on your fight style and personality. Practice them shadow boxing, on the bag, the pads, and in sparring. See which works best for you, and master it.

all know is u should not to listen to this NYU guy, lol he does not even know how to do what he talks about he is a fatass e-master, most likely u might even do better than him.

Wheres your video of your skills? or are you saying that your not good your just better then nyu? in which case how did you go about seeing nyu's video?

why don't u ask him to show u, :D lol

I have a video. Im awesome I am the heavy weight champ of the world and i can take any one any day.....or at least until these hallucinogens wear off.

lets see your skills nyu.

I try my best to give advice, but its usually not till after a thread has like 10+ replys with no actual answer at that point id say 70% of the way there is better then 0. unless its outside the range of boxing like say eating right, running, stretching, lifting weights, or sore muscles in which case i chime right in if i think i can actuclly provide some assistance.

It is important to know what you know and can do and to know what you don't know and can't do and not end up fooling yourself and other people.

well it's better i think to go on not knowing than to have answers that are probably wrong, as it only complicate things in the end.

perhaps but it would sure be wonderful if i said something wrong and i was corrected or if some one completed what i said to make it more of a 100% answer, so you know as a community we can answer some of these questions completely instead of leaving some one stranded with no idea where to start.

though i guess in the end the need to argure about fighters carries over to training practices. id imagine if cus damato assuming he was alive was giving some one advice that freddy roach was also giving advice too, the conversation would probably look no different then the one between you and nyu.

neither needs to be wrong they just share different views but instead of saying i disagree with this this and this but with this if you change this it dosnt sound like a bad idea people more oftenly will attack some ones character and skill there quality of competency, while completely ignoring the point the person made that they thought was wrong.

Well, he made some good points but those aren't his own i hear that stuff told to me by coaches and trainers he just sorta copypasta.
He is also a ****y motherfuker who thinks he is good in boxing when he is not even half as good as some of the guys he criticizes and is too far away from what he presents himself to be and he is also a fatass who likes to make fun of fat people. What an irony :sleeping: :dance:

And u also have been told that kinda similar way before, if u can still remember.

told what?

that im a fatass that likes to make fun of fat asses?

that im ****y?

that i shouldnt give advice?
I remember that, being told i shouldnt give advice.

regardless, as you have said even if hes copying and pasting he still makes some good points, and instead of saying hes an idiot you very well could have replied to his post bolded the good points and touched on what you wanted to. that way at least the ts sees something that at least 2 people agree on instead of some bad advice and some good advice then some one else telling him he should just throw it all away good with the bad and does'nt offer any advice of their own. if yopu just dont like the guy you could have started the post with some thing like......"well looks like even an idiot can copy and paste theres a few good points there but not many and you dont do a very good job explaining ..........."

i also remember being told my shirt is ugly.

i don't want to be nice coz i don't like em, too ****en ****y and not even that good and talking/praising to himself in 3rd person lol :owned:

I could do the same to you, but your koo in my book. :dance:

sounds good.

if i remember correctly i actually had a like 3 hour argument with nyu about catabolic and anabolic, and he didnt really know much about that. perhaps just shooting everything the guy says down off the bat is the only way to avoid a 3 hour argument.

**** this stuff is addictive, theres so much stuff on the net u can pick you can be occupied forever

Where do you move to if your opponent doesn't move back? (I usually stay where I am if this happens to maintain distance) I used to just move straight back myself but heard you're never meant to move backwards in a straight line (Why is this by the way?) so when I'm shadowboxing lately I've been stepping to the side instead? Just wondering does it matter what side you step to, does it depend on the opponents stance for instance?


When you land a jab??? and the opponent did not move back,your lucky... and should follow up with either straight right or right cross.

Do combinations:
One two
one,one two.
one two one one (body)two(cross)

you can improvise on each opponent.

Well, he made some good points but those aren't his own i hear that stuff told to me by coaches and trainers he just sorta copypasta.

Talking of ****y posers, and seeing as though you're the one who's running his mouth the most out of everyone on this thread.
How about you post or show me/us a video of your "skills" ?

I am not a boxer by trade but find it comfortable to step back and lean to the right (when in an orthodox stance) with a high left guard and then counter with an overhand right assuming the other guy is gonna attack with his right. In the southpaw stance, I step back and lean to the left with a high right guard. I think that developing an equal balance of technique in an orthodox and southpaw stance is better for a well balanced overall skill but like I said, I'm not a pro boxer so I don't have to depend on what I learn to earn a living.

I like to use the jab to set up stuff so I usually don't step back after throwing a jab I'd rather throw a right or 2 jabs and then a right or lead into a combo of some type. Used for simply hitting and movng away for the sake of points, stepping back and at an angle or back and leaning in a direction seems smarter than simply just moving backwards.

Your jab should be more educated.

If you are fighting someone who constantly bobs and weaves up and down (Joe Frazier) you dont want to step inside with the jab because if you miss he will be able to get inside and it will leave you exposed.

If you are using a shotgun jab to set up a power shot then id suggest making sure the opponent is going backward where his weight is on his heels rather than him being in the centre ring.

You should be mindful of when!! to jab and when not to jab, when someone is trying to time your rhythm they will invariably let you get off first and occasionally they can be inactive like they are not really doing anything,this is where some people get nailed, they think they who are shutting down their opponents offence so they take more chances and they dont realize they are being set up for an overhand right hand etc. You need to recognize when someone is trying to do this to you and use movement/feints to offset their timing. Why do you think Mayweather is so selective about when to jab? its because the jab is a great weapon to use to set up your offence or use as a defensive tool but its also the key to your opponent getting from outside to inside if you dont use it at the right times and correctly. If you use the jab consistently you need to throw it fast,change up your rhythm constantly, move over before and after throwing it etc.


A good jab is a versatile jab, one you can commit to, one you can not commit to but still land it (Roy Jones,Mayweather),one you can use feints or movement with to control the opponent (Holmes vs Norton, Hearn vs Leonard 1) one you can use the upjab with, one where you can throw the half jab/half hook and circle to the left with for when fighting a Southpaw.

If you are falling in after jabbing id say the best thing to do is grab the opponent tie him up then when the ref splits you up you will be at your desired range, that said i strongly believe you should not be missing that much with the jab if you are throwing fast and its an educated jab where you are throwing it at the right times and using movement/feints before throwing it.

^^Sorry should have mentioned I meant when the opponent is at a distance where I can't reach him without taking a step forward. Where should I move afterwards? If he's just coming at me I usually just keep the Jab in his face, keeping him at bay, throwing in the right hand when the opportunity arises or waiting for a chance to counter. (6''4 Middleweight so the Jab is an essential part of my style:).)

Depending on the opponent i step in with jab to set up combo or make him throw what I want to counter him.
