Hour seven of my teenage client's Boxing course brought us onto uppercuts. I try not just technically teach techniques so that clients learn them in a passive fashion, rather I like to create opportunities where they will use them. Then, afterwards, we look at refining them. That was thinking behind Thursday night's lesson as you can see in the following 3-minute rounds:
Cornering the ring and stiff-arming
Pawing jab and cornering vs defence only
Lead hand vs defence only - find or create an opening in the guard
Focus mitts - double jab/straight right/left uppercut
Ditto
Try to land the uppercut vs jab/cross
Shift angle step vs the jabbing machine
Shift angle step/same hand uppercut/hook vs jab/cross
Ditto
Focus mitts - as the previous two sparring rounds
