Once you can master the basics it makes it that much easier to get even more out of your at-home boxing workouts. You need to lay the groundwork and build a strong foundation before trying to build a house. The same goes with boxing and the fundamentals, especially of boxing technique. Like Manny Pacquiao once said, “If you work hard in training, the fight is easy.”\n\nToday FightCamp Co-Founder and Trainer Tommy Duquette is going to break down step-by-step how to properly throw the Jab and the Cross, the two most basic punches in a boxer's arsenal. In fact, when Tommy started boxing, these were the only two punches he was allowed to throw during his first month of training. That's how important they are and why an emphasis on their technique should be mastered before moving on to more complex punch combinations and executions.","How do you throw boxing jab and cross punches?","faq_schema",{"_uid":672,"answer":673,"question":674,"component":670},"7b1b05db-d073-4518-b634-ddda3e6d696f","Here is a quick review of the punch count number system.

Try to not lean forward when adding power to the punch. Instead, imagine a rod running from the ceiling to the ground, running right through your head (you cannot move forward/backward/side-to-side).

If you’re in Southpaw Stance, use your right hand.\n-Cross – From your fighting stance, throw your rear fist (usually your dominant hand) straight down the line just like your jab. \n-Lead Hook – It looks just like it sounds! Raise your lead arm in a hook shape so that your elbow is parallel to the floor. Shift your weight to your lead foot and pivot your energy through your lead foot, hip, torso, and shoulder. Keeping your arm level, throw your punch and connect your fist to the bag like you’re holding a cup of coffee. \n-Rear Hook – A Rear Hook is a mirror image of a Lead Hook. This time, shift your weight to your rear foot, pivot, and throw your punch with your rear hand, aiming for where your opponent’s head would be. \n-Lead Uppercut – Instead of a straight or hook punch, throw a lead punch upwards at a slight angle (aiming just beneath the chin). These are most effective when they’re fast, powerful, and surprising! \n-Rear Uppercut – Different hand, same zing! Throw your rear hand hard and fast at a vertical angle to hit right under the chin.\n-Bodyshot – All the punches above are head punches… BUT they can easily be used to do damage to the body, as well. To turn a Jab, Cross, Hook, or Uppercut into a bodyshot, simply bend your knees and drop levels to deliver your punches at the torso (front and sides). ","What are the different boxing punches?",{"_uid":1112,"answer":1113,"question":1114,"component":670},"57960aaf-d4b7-4cb6-b680-87cf16655e75","Strong boxing starts with smart footwork, which refers to all the various leg and foot movements boxers use to keep their balance, further or close the distance, control space, create new angles, and force their opponent into a vulnerable position.

When you’re in your boxing stance, alternate your weight between your back leg and front leg in a quick-shifting motion.\n-Boxers also use head movements and torso movements to avoid being struck, and feints (mock punches or movements to distract your opponent from your real attack) to catch their opponent off guard. Next time you’re sparring with a partner, try these two boxing movements to avoid getting hit by your opponent:\n-Shoulder Roll – Bring your lead shoulder to your chin and turn your hips away from the punch, using your shoulder as a shield. Your opponent’s punch will slide harmlessly off your shoulder. \n-Slip – A slip is an avoidance head movement, which is a fancy way of saying “dodging a punch.” When you slip a punch, lean and twist in one direction just enough to take your head off the “punching line” while maintaining your balance and protecting your face with your gloves.","What are different boxing movements?",{"_uid":1116,"answer":1117,"question":1118,"component":670},"d6a9255d-2e72-47ae-9cd0-4fa1f518a2e5","Now that we’ve talked about boxing combinations and boxing movements, let’s talk about how to apply them in boxing training.

Shadowboxing is an unbeatable way to master the foundations of boxing and hone your technique. \n-Bag Work – This is your heavy bag workout! Bag work is usually structured in 4, 6, 8, or 10 rounds, on a hanging or free-standing heavy bag.\n-Mittwork – Usually executed by a trainer, mittwork involves using pads and mitts to present targets to a boxer to practice techniques and combinations. \n-Sparring – Sparring is a live-action simulation of a fight with a real, live partner to prepare you for a boxing competition. You should only spar with proper safety equipment (mouthpiece, headgear, cup, etc).  \n-Roadwork – This is training done on the road or the track.

For example, you could do a hook shot burnout round where you throw nothing but lead and rear hooks as hard as you can for a full minute. \n-Coast – Coasting is repeating a combination (like a jab-cross) nonstop but at a slower and steadier pace.

Of course, anyone who has tried to employ good head movement against a seasoned boxer knows that it is anything but effortless, and requires a ton of specialized training to learn.

To do this head movement drill, get into your boxing stance. Then slip to whichever side you prefer, making sure not to let your chin cross your knee. From there you have 5 options:\n\nPivot out, resetting the drill to the start (avoiding pressure and perhaps taking a better angle on your imaginary opponent)\n\nWeave under to the other side (to avoid hooks)\n\nPull back/sway (good for avoiding uppercuts)\n\nDouble dip (duck further that way to avoid a catch shot, ALWAYS follow this with an immediate big pivot or weave)\n\nThrow a punch (it's important that defense and offense are fluid) \n\nKeep mixing up what side you start on and what options you go to until they all start to flow together and take it slow.

Without a threat to make them stop coming, it does not matter how good your head movement is you will get caught. This simple boxing dodge drill is a great and simple way to practice using head movement to set up punches that will make your opponent think twice about pressing. \n\nGet in your boxing stance (a big mirror is great here but not necessary) with a high and tight guard. \n\nFrom there slip, duck, or weave and stay in the position for a bit, feeling out where your center of gravity is. \n\nOnce you know what feels best, throw a punch from that position. \n\nUnlike the last drill, the goal here is to recognize what punch to throw from the position you’re in and to have it out as quickly as possible. This will help get you used to switching from defense to offense fluidly and taking openings the second you see them.","How do you do a boxing Frame and Shoot Drill?",{"_uid":1499,"answer":1500,"question":1501,"component":670},"bbd4e72b-10ef-48b4-ba7c-045cfb847c82","I used to dread this boxing head movement training drill so much when I first started out because it is killer on the upper legs, but it’s fantastic for training muscle memory. For this drill, the only boxing head movement equipment you’ll need is a long, straight line to follow (preferably tape at least 10-13 feet). Set up your boxing stance on the far end of the line so that each foot is on one side of it with your back to the length of the line. From there, we follow these steps, never letting your feet cross the line.\n\nThe opponent is pressuring with a jab. Slip towards your lead leg, loading up your lead hand.\n\n The opponent tries to catch your slip with a cross. Hop back with a lead check hook, slipping to your rear leg at the same time.\n\nThe opponent tries to smother you. Shuffle step back while throwing a cross (or uppercut), returning your head to a neutral position. \n\nRepeat step 1\n\nThe goal of this is again to train your body to always naturally move your head when you punch, whether going backward or forward. Speaking of forwards, we’ve reached the end of the line, and now have to go back up. Here are the steps for that half of the drill.\n\nYour opponent is holding his ground. step forward behind the jab, slipping to your rear leg (the inside).\n\nThe opponent is retreating but throwing punches. Step forward with a right cross while slipping towards your lead leg, avoiding the opponent’s check jab.\n\nThe opponent tries to hop back. Using that conveniently loaded lead hand, hop forward with a check lead hook while shifting weight back to the rear leg, both catching the opponent off balance and again taking your head far out of harm's way\n\nReturn to neutral and repeat the sequence\n\nThe purpose here is twofold. One is to get you used to one of the most common sequences in all of boxing (1-2-3 or 1-2 smother). The other is to train your body to constantly be in motion whether on offense or defense. It is far easier to adjust a body that is already moving than it is to move a body that is standing still.","How do you do a boxing line drill?\n",{"name":233,"created_at":234,"published_at":235,"updated_at":236,"id":237,"uuid":238,"content":1503,"slug":233,"full_slug":253,"sort_by_date":48,"position":254,"tag_list":1515,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":256,"first_published_at":257,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":1516,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":240,"name":241,"category":1504,"component":39,"meta_info":1512,"block_image":1513,"cover_image":1514,"internal_notes":7},{"name":140,"created_at":141,"published_at":142,"updated_at":143,"id":144,"uuid":145,"content":1505,"slug":140,"full_slug":325,"sort_by_date":48,"position":55,"tag_list":1510,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":327,"first_published_at":328,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":1511,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":147,"name":148,"topics":1506,"component":118,"meta_info":1507,"meta_title":7,"block_image":1508,"cover_image":1509,"internal_notes":7,"meta_description":7},[156,184,211,238,265,292],{"_uid":315,"title":316,"plugin":43,"description":317},{"id":319,"alt":320,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":320,"filename":321,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":323,"alt":320,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":320,"filename":324,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"_uid":243,"title":244,"plugin":43,"description":245},{"id":247,"alt":248,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":248,"filename":249,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":251,"alt":248,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":248,"filename":252,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],"efb09565-d096-488b-8f7f-7e80e6045b1d",{"type":735,"content":1519},[1520,1525,1545,1550,1555,1559,1591,1595,1600,1610,1630,1634,1639,1643,1669,1673,1699,1703,1708,1720,1725,1735],{"type":782,"attrs":1521,"content":1522},{"level":784},[1523],{"text":1524,"type":742},"How to Get Better Head Movement in Boxing",{"type":738,"content":1526},[1527,1529,1536,1538,1543],{"text":1528,"type":742},"Head movement in boxing is one of the most impressive aspects of a boxing match.

Incorporating a stretching routine will help you maintain or increase your flexibility, which in turn counteracts the activities of daily living for most of the population.

World's Greatest Stretch \n-From high active plank, push in to bear squat, and lunge left foot forward. \n-Next to the left hand, raise the left hand to the sky. \n-As you breathe, maintain a straight right rear leg, pushing your heel towards the floor. \n-Lower the left hand and step your left foot back. REPEAT on the right and alternate for 60-90 seconds.\n\n3. Kneeling Quad/Hip Flexor Stretch\n-Step your right foot forward from a kneeling position far enough to lower your hips towards the floor. \n-Reach back (if possible) with your right hand, grab onto your left ankle, and maintain an upright posture. \n-Hold this position and breath slowly for 30-60 seconds, then switch legs.\n\n4. Cat/Cow\n-Start on all fours, neutral spine. \n-Inhale and let your belly fall as you lift your chin and your eyes look up. Draw your shoulders away from your ears. \n-Upon exhaling, press through your hands, round the spine, and tuck the tailbone.\n\n5. Thread the Needle\n-Start on all fours. \n-Open the right arm up to the sky, then take it under your chest behind the opposite arm. \n-Bring your right shoulder to the floor, then return to the start. Pair the movement with your breath, and take 3-4 slow breaths before switching arms.\n\n6. Thread the Needle With a Twist \n-Start on all fours. \n-Open the right arm up to the sky, then take it under the chest behind the opposite arm.
