How do I throw a jab that has a slight hooking motion to it textbook style?

OMGWTF · 12-05-2012, 01:38 AM

Ok so you have the bog standard Jab

Then you have a jab that dosnt come perfectly straight it has a slight arc to it, its a great set up shot apparently, and has a nice angle to get past their guard, without leaving you too open for a straight right. (This is what I want to know how to throw!!??)

Then you have a left hook thrown straight from your stance arm bent at 90 degrees.

Then you have a left hook thrown straight from your stance but with the arm almost straight out sometimes refered to as an educated swing or long range left hook. (How do you throw this properly?)

Also Im getting confused between how to throw a jab with a slight hooking arc and how to throw an actual long range hook or "educated swing" !?

How do you throw each of these?

Many thanks!

educated swing, a jab with a slight hooking arc... where did this all come from. you are complicating too much, just box and enjoy it!

Well you are overcomplicating things and making 100 treads.

whether you're being serious or not Vassiliy Jirov was a southpaw that sometimes jabbed like it was a straight right, as described by Emanuel Steward. he put his lead hand to the side and jabbed at an angle a straight right would hit you at.

another thread. You've been boxing for like a week. Why are you asking so many questions like this. How about you perfect your footwork and your jab first before you start asking about check hooks

More questions. Do u do any training? Stop clogging up the forum with this shit.
