just in the middle of reading jack dempsy book and it mush be the best ever boxing guide ever made.
he teaches a jab thats not a pitter patter jab but a solid knock out punch jab, here is somting he writes.
To protect yourself with your fists, you must become a knockout puncher. And you may do that within three months, if you're a normal chapanywhere
between twelve and forty. By "normal" I mean healthy and sound-neither ailing nor crippled.
You should be able to knock out a fellow of approximately your own weight, with either fist, if you follow my instructions exactly and practice
them diligently. And in six months or a year, you may be able to knock out fellows a lot bigger and heavier than you are.
You've got the weight and the machinery. In fact, you're the Kayo Kid.
And just as soon as you savvy the knockout punch, I'll take you along through the other departments of fighting. When you finish these
instructions, you'll know exactly how to be a well-rounded scrapper. You'll be able to use your fists so destructively and practically that, with
experience, you'll be able to move into amateur or even professional competition if you so desire. Should you go into competition, you'll have a
big advantage in all-round fighting knowledge over most boys who came up during the past quarter-century.
Remember this: You don't have to be an athlete to learn how to use your fists. And it doesn't matter whether you're short, fat or skinny, timid
or brave. Regardless of your size, shape, or courage, you already have the weapons with which to protect yourself. I repeat: All you have to do
is learn to use them correctly.
It's true that nearly every guy can fight a little bit naturally, without having anyone show him the right way.
It's true also that the average boy or man might sit down at a piano and be able to pick out some sort of tune with one finger; or he might use
the "hunt and peck" system on a typewriter until he had written a couple of lines; or he might jump into a pool and swim a bit with the dog-paddle
or with his version of the breast stroke.
But he never could become a good pianist without being taught to play correctly. He never could become a fast, accurate typist without being
drilled in the touch system. And he never could become a speed swimmer without being shown the crawl stroke.
It's no more natural for a beginner to step out and fight correctly than for a novice to step out and skate correctly or dive correctly or dance the
tango or do the slalom on skis. Even Babe Ruth and Joe Louis, despite their prowess in other fields, were beginners when they took up golf;
and each had to learn to swing a golf club correctly in order to assure accuracy and distance in his drive.
It's strange but true that certain fundamental movements seem unnatural to the beginner in nearly every activity requiring close coordination
between body and mind.
Fist-fighting is no exception. Some of the fundamental moves seem awkwardly unnatural when first

7. What Is a Punch?
Nature has given you, a normal beginner, the three requisites for a knockout punch. They are:
1. WEIGHT-THE WEIGHT OF YOUR ENTIRE BODY.
2. POWERFUL MUSCLES IN YOUR FEET, LEGS AND BACK- THE MEANS OF HELPING TO PUT YOUR BODY-WEIGHT INTO MOTION.
3. ARMS AND FISTS-THE MEANS OF EXPLODING YOUR MOVING WEIGHT AGAINST AN OPPONEN
