5 Common Jab Mistakes: This Should be Your Best Punch!

There's a good reason why the jab is the first punch you will learn in boxing: because it should be your BEST punch! It exerts the least amount of energy, acts as a probe, dictates the range, and sets up combos.

[@sick_bartender]

Correctly, start with a little bit of shadowboxing then use the bag and after that go for a sparring practice. I started working out in a gym near by the place where I live. So it is a great way of gradually vetting ready to throw body and head punches.

[@UforEyuh]

Man, I LOVE your videos. You really know what you're talking about. I've been a boxer for 6, almost 7 years now and in my free time I thumb through your vids just to cherry pick on some of your advice. The only thing I wanted to bring up was something you said at the end of mistake 2 when you mentioned those guys who complain of elbow pain from throwing jabs. I was expecting you to bring it up but it was overlooked. One of the most common causes of elbow pain from throwing jabs is not utilizing the corkscrew effect when throwing them. Not only does it exert more power when throwing your jab or right cross, but it also eliminates any snap on your elbow when it's thrown. Likewise, when you use the corkscrew effect it also causes your shoulder to rotate upward, guarding your chin and leaving you less exposed to a counter strike if they telegraph the jab, circle right (or left if you're a southpaw) where your chin would be exposed otherwise. Other than that little interjection, I have NOTHING negative to say about what you do here on youtube. You're a fantastic boxer and martial artist all around. Keep up the great work man!

[@kaialoha]

limbs naturally spiral on extension. Stopping the spiral is unnatural and therefore tensioning on incorrect muscles. Results in reduction in speed and injuries. Free natural flow is the way.

[@resedent2009]

kai I don’t understand why you think the shoulder and radius/Ulna naturally internally rotate during extension of the elbow? The wrist flexors, pec group, internal rotator cuff etc. don’t fire automatically during elbow extension/shoulder flexion

[@lonewalkerproductions]

Amazing advice, thanks J J

[@TheWillToFight]

It's very annoying fighting someone with a good jab

[@TheWillToFight]

john luongo you can also do a lot of damage with a good jab

[@Sacciuiguai]

You can knock someone out with a good jab to the chin or aiming and breaking the nose and then finishing with an uppercut or hook

[@TheWillToFight]

Sacciuiguai yep definitely I've even seen people finish with a jab to the body

[@R8er1980]

Fight Training Jab and cross were the only two punches I was properly tough before getting into MMA/Boxing. Very effective. I used to beat the shit outta people using my jab and cross cause of my height and reach. Plus I practiced both a lot and watched a lot of boxing.

[@TheWillToFight]

R8er1980 very good weapons if your a taller fighter

[@matejfele9971]

The jab is everything, really. It's not the most powerful punch, but on the other hand it's a range finder and that is crucial in a striking match.

[@dirtyd1886]

Matej Fele when using correctly it's a massive weapon

[@jackgouveia_]

Elbow

[@dysfynnction]

@@jackgouveia_ Not really, elbows can be slow and they're hard to manuever with full accuracy. Only throw counter elbows, if you counter someone's jab with a ducked jab of your own, your head is in position for a spinning elbow.

[@Izanagioomikami]

@dysfynnction Elbows are great and really useful to hit a lot of spots on the body without major risk of injuring yourself. But I still prefer the jab though. But that's just me. No hate I was just trying to say something related to the topic that seemed appropriate to me.

[@vladimirdinev8525]

Hey, Shane. Elbow pain with the jab is real. I'm a tall dude with long-ass arms so I was struggling with that a lot. What I found is when you rotate your wrist during the jab so your thumb points down towards the floor then the joints align and your shoulder comes naturally upwards to the side of your face, so you don't eat a hook. The jab becomes powerful and stable, no pain. Same goes for the cross. Thanks for the video.

[@pledgestone]

Just to add: A solution for elbow pain in the jab is to rotate the fist more. This prevents popping the elbow at full extension. Once enough experience is obtained, this will not be an issue with or without fist rotation as the student's body adjusts to the jab and it becomes natural. Great video!
