The Boxing Series: Master the Fundamentals

Lesson 2: In this lesson, we cover the six primary punches in boxing. I demonstrate the proper form for the jab and the cross, focusing on how to generate power from your shoulders and hips.

Lesson 3: The hook punch is a powerful tool for close-range fighting. I teach the correct 90-degree angle and how to pivot your body to deliver a powerful, effective hook.

Lesson 4: The uppercut is a devastating punch when used correctly. This lesson covers the mechanics of throwing an uppercut, generating power from your legs and core to target the chin.

Lesson 5: Movement is key. I demonstrate the four basic directions of footwork: forward, backward, left, and right. Maintaining your stance and balance while moving is a fundamental skill.

Lesson 6: Here, we combine footwork with punches. I show you how to throw the jab-cross combination while moving forward and backward, maintaining distance and control.

Lesson 7: This lesson focuses on throwing the hook punch while on the move. We practice coordinating our footwork with the body rotation needed for a powerful left and right hook.

Lesson 8: We advance to throwing the uppercut while moving forward and backward. This drill helps build coordination and the ability to attack from different positions.

Lesson 9: Wrapping your hands correctly is crucial for preventing injury. I provide a simple, step-by-step guide on how to wrap your hands for maximum support of the wrist and knuckles.

Lesson 10: Inspired by Mike Tyson, this lesson is about the "side-to-side" head movement. I explain how to use your core to bend at the waist, making your head a difficult target.
