tips on bodyshots

[nivek535]

any tips will be appreciated...
from setting up to getting the proper leverage to where to aim etc...
i've been training for nearly a year now, and i haven't felt like i've made a good left hook to the body yet...................... sad :'(

no help ?

The right distance between you and your opponent is important. Also double left hooks do work for me. If you wanna hit the body clean first one upside than one to the body. Also smaller opponents are way easier for me to body shot than bigger people

you can really put some leverage in those kinds of uppercuts/ shovel hook to the body. you weave to the outside, shifting your weight a bit from center to the left foot, bending your knees a little more then you deliver the blow with maximum amount of force coming from legs and hip.

Body shots are best done at the proper positioning of the angle of your hooks..

I'm still finding it hard to get to the liver shot. It's ****ing awesome though if you nail it good. Most people would go down in an instant because it takes the air out of them, especially if they're the average person who drink a lot. Alcohol = bad liver. Even if you don't hit them hard, if you put enough pressure into his liver, it'll be enough to get them on the floor hurting in pain.

But if you just want to hit them cleanly on the body, just get them used to getting hit on the head and once they lift their elbow up enough, quickly transition your punch towards the body. This is turn mostly in close range where you start throwing hooks. More leverage his elbows go up to protect their head and especially if they're leaning. As long as your stance is good and your arms can reach to his body in close, there's a good opportunity.

First thing first; bend your knees, you have to get your ass near to the ground, so you can put all your weight on your toes

from that point, you should transfer all yur weight to one feet, and reverse it throwing the uppercut-hook to the body

I would not recommend throwing this punch first, better in combinations, if not you can get countered easy

Also, i would concentrate on the stomach, liver and ribs, i dont like the right hook to the body especially, because you can hurt someone´s body much more with your left hand

hope this helps!!
