Is corkscrew/bullet jab a real life boxing technqiue???

[Box"K"ing]

Im not sure if your familar with the show called Hajime No Ippo!

Basicly its a boxing anime and for most part it has real techqniues but every now and then there are some moves that are a bit out there.

Anyway there is a counter-puncher/outboxer name sawamura ruyhee and he uses the corkscrew jab but I dont know if anyone in real life specialized in it?

Crappy demo but his yet to make his anime apearence

I've heard the term used to describe a jab that you twist just before impact to worsen a cut you've already caused.

sure why not.

sure why not.

Well I thought that the corkscrew motion would slow the jab down because of the extra motion?

its a rea techique. most of whats used in ippo are real techniques but they exaggerate the effects.

I remember hearing about this. Wasn't Ali taught it by a martial arts master/bruce lee or something crazy like that? He'd torque his jab at the last possible moment to help aggravate the opponents swelling..

I didn't bother posting on a thrwad yeaterday which asked just how many had real-contest boxing experience. Out of about 30-35 posts I think only about 2-3 had ever actually fought a legit opponent, many were going to a gym, a few had sparred etc.

But if I may, I'll chip in on this. When the fist is closed, and arm extended, the thumb side of the hand is naturally about half-turned with the thumb pointing North-East. Early on, it was found that a punch was made better by completing the turn so that the row of knuckles meets the target horizontally. It's only a half-turn, and can be perfectly natural as well, depending on how your elbow joint is aligned at birth.

As a kid I remember reading that Kid McCoy, real name Selby, i think he was a welter/middle, "invented" the "corkscrew punch" which inflicted cuts. A ring article debunked this, saying that the punch had always been in use, wasn't a corkscrew anyway, and had no extra "cut" effect. He committed suicide, I think, when he was in prison for...maybe..murder?? That must have been at least 100 years ago or more.

no bruce lee didn't ever teach Ali ****. They never even met. If anything, Bruce Lee was a Muhammad Ali fan
