Left Jab, Straight Right: Boxing Lessons

Video Transcript

The next combination we're going to cover in our introductory boxing lesson is going to be the old one-two, the standard left-right. Boom. The way we're going to start with that is with every combination, we're going to start in our boxing stance and I'm going to have the student step forward, turning his wrist, connecting with the bag, hopefully target plus an inch. We're not trying to push the bag with the actual left hand, okay? Then before the left hand comes back to the cheek....as soon as that left hand leaves the bag, the right hand is going to leave your chin, and the two are going to meet about halfway there. The left hand comes back to your cheek for protection. The right hand continues on to the bag. At that point you should be lifting your right foot up about four inches, turning it out about two, and then crushing the bag with the right hand. No more target plus an inch when you're delivering the right hand, that's the rest of the power that you have. As you're retracting from this punch, this combination, you're bringing your right hand back at the same time you're bringing your left foot back, and then hopefully returning right back to your defensive position again. Okay? So we're going to throw the left, right, and then straight back into your position again. Nick, can you show us that combination please? That's good. Okay, great, the old one-two.
