[Vitez]

J what exactly did you do with the kettlebell? Which exercise?

[Southpawology]

I've been working on my jab recently but, can't seem to get the snappiness(lol) that I'm after. It's more of an average paced hard jab I have just now but, I want to improve the accuracy and speed, Any Tips or Exercises?
Thanks.

I did them all (well as many as I know) but I focused on the clean and press as explosive as possible.

a snappy, powerful jab comes from stomping foward with your legs as you throw the jab so as to incorporate your whole body into the punch, practice jabbing with the step foward as hard and fast as you can(the jab not the step), when your practicing this(via shadowboxing) do it with your hand slightly open(firm, but slightly open), also relax, it has to come naturally, you have to let your body fall into synchrony

also note that the step foward doesn't have to be a big step, it can be very miniscule, aslong as it's helping you generate more power

stepping with the jab is also the proper technique

[Spartacus Sully]

the key is to fully extend your arm but not fully extend your arm.

like you want to impact at like a 160 degree angle and make your fist at impact. making the fist helps continue with the follow through so your arm straightens out alittle but making the fist also makes the muscles in the arm tense so that last 10-20 degrees your arm extens through impact but springs back with the tension since you tightened everything up at 160 degrees. then as everything springs back just go with the gravity pulling your elbow down and shoulder/back down.

i think.

Jab but when you land that hayemaker make sure it KOs the guy, ive seen people jab with no power, you take the jab, but fire back with a jab and hook and its game over

I try to model my jab after Ike Quartey's. I still remember watching him dominate a guy on a jab alone. His jab looked harder than most fighter's right cross.

Here's a bag routine, it's called "counting to ten".

1 is jab
2 is jab-jab
3 is jab-jab-jab
4 is jab-jab-jab-jab

etc

When you get to 10 count back down.

Your jab should be all the way out and all the way back to your guard. Concentrate on a balance of speed, power and most importantly form. Start with a single set and work up to three or four sets with a minute in between. This should help you develop a strong and snappy jab, and stop your arms from getting tired while sparring.

And to add up for an effective snappy jab is a good skill on footwork. So oneyou should also concentrate on the footwork.

1 thing i do and concentrate on is throwing the jab from all angles
