In The Spotlight

Jabs

Submitted by mikeru on Sun, 2006-10-15 11:08.

This week I've mostly been shadow boxing with the jab. No emphasis on power or speed, just form.

I do 3 minutes using nothing but the right jab (all to the head). As soon as the punch is brought back to my head it HAS to go out again - no delay, with a good 45 degree twist at the end. Next round I swap sides and throw nothing but a left jab.

I've got the basic punches now; working on getting them to flow. But bad habbits are creeping in already - have to concentrate on keeping my elbows tucked in.

The routine I've used is:

Oww! My shoudlers are killing me from practicing the overhand right. Cleaning out the garage today so I can put my bags up...

I've practiced martial arts for fitness for some time, but I'm getting really interested in boxing. I've got no interest in getting into the ring - im 32 now! I'm hoping to get fit while learning boxing techniques and theory. Hoping to upload some vids of my punches in the future for you to check  Laughing

I have always adhered to two principles. The first one is to train hard and get in the best possible physical condition. The second is to forget all about the other fellow until you face him in the ring and the bell sounds for the fight.
