As we were split into 2 groups tonight, I am unaware of all the hard work Adam, Charlie and James were putting in work getting ready for the grading, the rest of us were working on boxing fundamentals.
JAB
Working the whole dynamics of the jab from the toes to the knuckles
Balls of the feet
Feet under the hips so base is balanced and mobile
Lead edge on
Drive from the feet and through with the punch
Be light on the feet to enable entering then retreating, pivoting or evasion footwork
Piston the punch out and back
Have the weight going forward with the punch, not dispersing in any other direction but this comes from the feet.
The variety of drills:
Jab only; out of range and jab into range, the receiver catches.
Jab and respond: Person A out of range and enters with the jab, Person B catches and responds with the jab.
Entering with the jab to set up combinations such as jab, body cross, left hook to the body
JAB AND CROSS
On the pads, the focus was on keeping the movement (the whole body) crisp, fast and dynamic. The main teaching point was turning over the shoulder more on the cross - drive into and through the centre of the pad, not off to the side.
