The Art of Precision in Punching

https://www.myboxingcoach.com - It's easy as a boxer to fall into the trap of blasting away at an opponent, head or body, and being content with that. But you should expect more of yourself.

In this video I want you to focus on operating with more precision, creating openings dynamically and maximizing your chances of landing with success.

So you have the head and body.

But...

You need to add in the CENTRE LINE and FLANKS.

When hitting the centre line at long range, you can use your straight shots (and indeed your long range uppercuts).

To hit the flanks at long range you can use the angled side step (   • Boxing Footwork Explained - The Angled Sid...  ) or you can use long range hooks as well.

To hit the flanks at close or mid range it makes sense to use hooks, palm in or palm down.

To hit the centre line at close range you can use uppercuts (keeping your elbow as close to your body when you let the shots go) or you can get a little more inventive and use the stance switch (   • Advanced Boxing Footwork – The Stance Switch  ).

Tip: You can be dynamic in creating openings by alternating your attacks from flanks to centre line and back again.

Love to hear your thoughts on this...leave them below.

Cheers
