There are four basic offensive moves in boxing:

  • the jab,
  • straight rightglossary iconglossary iconglossary iconglossary icon (or left),
  • hookglossary iconglossary iconglossary iconglossary icon (left and right), and
  • uppercut (left and right).

They can be delivered anywhere above the waist and it is best to mix up where they are delivered.

You cannot win a battle without a great offense. You can have the best defense in the world, never allowing your opponent to hit you, but you cannot win if you don't hit him. That of course is where these punches come in.

A couple of things you want to remember when thinking about the offensive part of your game. First, you always want to keep your opponent guessing. The worst thing you can do is forecast your punches or get in the habit of delivering the same punches in the same order over and over again.
