This morning’s early bird Triple C Boxing Fitness training session used the Philly shell as the main theme. The aim was clear. Build fitness, practise boxing skills, and explore a famous defensive style without the risk of live sparring.

The jab and cross are the backbone of many boxing combinations. The jab is a quick, straight punch with the lead hand, used to gauge distance and set up attacks. The cross follows as a powerful straight punch from the rear hand, often delivering the knockout blow. Getting these punches right means more than just throwing fast punches. It requires proper stance, rotation, and muscle engagement.
