Learn the Advanced Boxing Techniques

I've noticed there are no Youtube channels, blogs, or websites that talk about the specifics of boxing techniques. None that are doing it right, anyway. I've been studying boxing for years now and I can teach many advanced skills. As a small start, I've written this post to let people (who want to talk and learn) digest some useful information. But not too much because I don't want you to get a headache from reading a long guide. *Just found out that you can't add links to other sites before you have made 15 posts at least. So, search "learning jab the most powerful control tool in boxing" on Google to read my post. It's published on medium* Read the post and if you find it useful, follow me on medium for more similar content. I've created this thread to let everyone discuss the specifics of boxing techniques like Muhammad Ali's footwork or Larry Holmes' jab or Mike Tyson's uppercut or Floyd Mayweather's pull counter. Basically, talk about any technical thing about boxing. I'll try my best to stay as active as I can on this thread. https://medium.com/@thesweetscientist/learning-jab-the-most-powerful-control-tool-in-boxing-566fb4c88cc3 Nice work, man, but it would probably be better received on the training and nutrition forum and certainly I'd expect the quality of the feedback to be better. https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=6 Anyway... here's an excerpt to give folk an idea: .... Today, we’ll talk about Shoot jab. Shoot aka Pop Jab Shoot jab is exactly what the name suggests, a jab you shoot! Isn’t it the same as throwing a fast jab? No, it’s completely different. In a sentence, you pop your shoulder to shoot your jab. It’s fast as a bullet. The opponent’s eye can’t catch it, well speaking for most of them (Excluding sharp eyed boxers like Muhammad Ali and Floyd Mayweather). Before I share the complete steps, let’s clear the term pop, shall we? Pop means to move your shoulder slightly upwards in rotatory motion while punching. It’s not the same as raising your shoulder. No, it’s a quick rotatory movement of precisely the back of your shoulder. The area with deltoid muscles to be exact: The movement starts as soon as you begin to punch. It has to be quick in rotatory motion. Start by moving your shoulder backwards when you’re bringing your arm up to punch, right before you shoot the punch. Now, when you start extending your arm to hit your target (shoot the punch), rotate your shoulder forward in rotatory motion back to its original position. The impact will be maximized if you rotate your shoulder 1 inch backwards. Here are the complete steps to shoot jab: Step №1: Get into a boxing stance Step №2: Make sure your power hand covers a small portion of your face, placed ideally near the chin for defense Step №3: Make sure your lead arm is bend in V Shape. Meaning that your forearm following the elbow should be perpendicular to your bicep area. I don’t mean at exact 90° because that would be stiff. Don’t do that, make sure you’re comfortable while making your arm bend in V shape. Get the idea? Here’s a picture: Observe the lead hand. Step №4: Now, jab while popping your lead shoulder instead of throwing the punch. Step №5: That was part ONE, now comes part TWO. As soon as you start shooting, make sure you shift body weight to the lead foot. You can do this by moving your back foot heel up by an inch or two and stand on your toes. Note: Don’t raise your lead foot’s heel. Step №6: Bring your lead hand back to starting position as soon as your jab is ideally extended. Make sure to bring your hand back in any of two cases: You miss or land the jab. Make sure you follow these steps precisely. ....
