Boxing- Punches

A boxer wants to remember sure floor guidelines earlier than embarking on a spherical of boxing. To start with, he needs to face together with his legs shoulder-width aside with one foot being a half-step behind the other. Each foot should level inward. The lead fist is positioned almost six inches in entrance of the face at eye degree while the rear fist is positioned next to the chin. The elbow is held in a way to shield the physique from punches. The chin is tucked within the chest to protect the jaws from knock-outs.

Boxing Punches

There are four forms of punches in boxing. These are ‘jab’, ‘cross’, ‘hook’ and ‘uppercut’ and their detail is given below.

Jab

The jab is a straight punch given from the lead hand following a clockwise rotation of the torso and hips. The fist comes 90 degrees and immediately involves a horizontal place after the impact. This is crucial punch for a boxer because it typically overpowers the opponent.

Jab Punch

Cross

The cross is a strong and straight punch using the rear hand. The rear hand is positioned from the chin which then crosses the physique and traverses in direction of the opponent.

Cross Punches

Hook

The hook is a punch finished with the lead hand to the side of the opponent’s head in a semi-round movement.

Uppercut

The uppercut is a vertical and rising punch executed with the rear hand. The straight left jab to the head is the commonest boxing technique. A proper uppercut involves standing in a standard boxing stance by holding the again knee bent. These are just a few tips for a recent boxer.

Boxing Defensive Positions - Philly Shell, Hitman or Crab

Boxers generally attempt to land high, fast combinations and then quickly shift position to avoid a possible response by their opponent. Depending on the boxer's style, the centre is the desired location as cornering opponents is always a good strategy. Most fighters, though, will not move around the boxer in the center because doing so makes them vulnerable to shots thrown at good angles. Movement is the most important tool in the ring and allows the fighter to avoid punches that were not telegraphed. If a boxer is standing still, his opponent has a better chance of hitting him. A fighter anticipating a shot while stationary is less likely to be able to evade the shot than a fighter already in motion.

In boxing there are several defensive positions (guards or styles) are used. Within each style, there is considerable variation among fighters, as some fighters may have their guard higher for more head protection while others have their guard lower to provide better protection against body punches. Many fighters vary their defensive style throughout a bout in order to adapt to the situation of the moment, choosing the position best suited to protect them.

Boxing Defensive Positions Philly Shell, Hitman or Crab

The lead arm is placed across the torso usually somewhere in between the belly button and chest and the lead hand rests on the opposite side of the fighter's torso. The back hand is placed on the side of the face. The lead shoulder is brought in tight against the side of the face. This style is used by fighters who like to counterpunch. To execute this guard a fighter must be very athletic and experienced.

Philly Shell, Hitman or Crab Defense

This style is so effective for counterpunching because it allows fighters to slip punches by rotating and dipping their upper body and causing blows to glance off the fighter. After the punch glances off, the fighter's back hand is in perfect position to hit his out-of-positioned opponent. The shoulder lean is used in this stance. To execute the shoulder lean a fighter rotates and ducks when his opponent's punch is coming towards him and then rotates back towards his opponent while his opponent is bringing his hand back. The fighter will throw a punch with his back hand as he is rotating towards his undefended opponent.

Philly Shell, Hitman or Crab Defense

The weakness to this style is that when a fighter is stationary and not rotating he is open to be hit, so a fighter must be athletic and well conditioned to effectively execute this style. To beat this style fighters like to jab their opponent's shoulder causing the shoulder and arm to be in pain and to demobilize that arm.

Boxing Defensive Positions – Cross Armed

Boxers generally attempt to land high, fast combinations and then quickly shift position to avoid a possible response by their opponent. Strategically, the ring's centre is generally the desired position since a boxer is able to conserve movement by forcing the opponent to circle around them. When in the centre, the boxer is also less likely to be knocked backwards against the ropes surrounding the ring and cornered. Depending on the boxer's style, the centre is the desired location as cornering opponents is always a good strategy.

Many fighters vary their defensive style throughout a bout in order to adapt to the situation of the moment, choosing the position best suited to protect them. Boxers who use an upright stance protect their chin with the rear hand in either the low or mixed guard styles depicted below.

Cross Armed

Boxing Defensive Positions – Cross Armed

The forearms are placed on top of each other horizontally in front of the face with the glove of one arm being on the top of the elbow of the other arm. This style is greatly varied when the back hand rises vertically. This style is the most effective for reducing head damage. The only head punch that a fighter is susceptible to is a jab to the top of the head. The body is open, but most fighters who use this style bend and lean to protect the body, but while upright and unaltered the body is there to be hit. This position is very difficult to counter punch from, but virtually eliminates all head damage.

Boxing Defensive Positions - Peek-a-boo or Earmuffs

There are several defensive positions (guards or styles) used in boxing. Within each style, there is considerable variation among fighters, as some fighters may have their guard higher for more head protection while others have their guard lower to provide better protection against body punches. Many fighters vary their defensive style throughout a bout in order to adapt to the situation of the moment, choosing the position best suited to protect them.

Boxers who use an upright stance protect their chin with the rear hand in either the low or mixed guard styles depicted below. Crouch fighters tend to use the "peek-a-boo" style, discussed below.

Peek-a-boo or Earmuffs

Sometimes known as the "earmuffs", the hands are placed next to each other in front of the face (fighters tend to vary the exact positioning) and elbows are brought in tight to the body (this position can be achieved by bringing the elbows as close together while not straining yourself to do so). This defensive style is what a boxer is taught to do when he begins to box, after he gains experience he can decide to change or vary the guard. This style is middle-of-the-road style in terms of counterpunching and damage reduction. A boxer can counter punch from this stance, but it is difficult.

 Peek-a-boo or Earmuffs

However, there have been boxers who can do this very well. This defense covers up a fighter well, but there are holes. Hooks do damage by going around the hands and by hitting just behind the elbows. Winky Wright uses this style very well from a damage reduction stand point. Another famous example is Mike Tyson, who in his early career used the Peek-a-Boo with great success.
