Foundational Jabbing (diary entry)

02.07.2024 Hour three of my client's course on Boxing looked at the underlying principles of the jab. After a warm-up, we discussed the jab's primary purposes: gauging and maintaining distance. This reinforced the importance of good linear footwork, especially moving back by using the rear foot first. I also looked at the correct execution of the technique, minimising the impact of a counter-punch. We trained the following 2-minute rounds:

1. Open palm touching guard and forehead - jabbing from edge of range and long range (double jab).

2. Same as above with a back-step and jab.

3. Jab only sparring bringing in catches and parries.

4. Jab/straight only sparring with catches and parries.

5. As above introducing blocks

6. Body shot only sparring

7. Ditto
