How to Punch - The 7 Basic Punches (Old Version - Watch the New & Improved One!)

[@dheerajjain1417]

Thanks sir

[@Str8ightO]

Jab (1). Very simple, quick and effective getting from point A to point B. ☺

[@diosdadoapias]

Jab is a lead straight punch; and straight line is the fastest to go from point A to point b. the curve or circular line is slower to go but applied in a punch or kick the circular strikes can be stronger due to the longer travel generating higher speed.

Also do pushups with this watch only the necessary videos (don’t waste your time on watching too much videos and not practicing) and then shadowbox maybe get on muay thai lessons also learn some jiu jutsu chokes (is great for bigger oponents) and only attack them when they are asking for it otherwise you’re the douche.

[@attackongamer9578]

Which ones are safe on block?

[@squifflessquaffles6339]

Is the point of contact the top two knuckles?

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Hey Naori, indeed, you should aim to punch with the middle finger knuckle predominantly, but sometimes you do make contact with the top 2 or even the bottom 3. It is not wrong, as long as you properly condition your knuckles to withstand the impact. Might do a video about that later... Hope your year is off to a great start! - Patrick

[@williamdavis7629]

Should the cross land on the center point of the chin, or should it land on the side of the chin?

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Ideally side of the chin, if you can get an angle on your opponent. But straight on will create damage as well. Street, be careful if not wearing gloves, as you could cut your knuckles on the teeth, so ideally straight on, the best target would be the nose.

[@buyyaumashankar]

In boxing how many punches,blocks,slipping,stances are there ?

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

To make it simple, you have your straight punches (Jab & Cross) and your round punches (Hook, Uppercut & Overhand), which can be executed with both hands. On the defensive side, you have long range punch blocks/deviations, as well as short range Turtle Blocks. Check out our basic punch block video for their explanation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3KXnmd8mpl7g9E. There are also 5 basic head movements, check them out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHicYWyOZt9ri80. Hope this helps! - Patrick

[@pankajmishra7880]

Which block and punch I can practice on beginning???

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

I would recommend to focus on the Jab & Cross first (straight punches). Check out this more complete tutorial on "How to Punch", version 2.0 right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2WQlYx_h9CIipo As for blocks, I would definitely recommend you focus on the Turtle Blocks first. Check this one out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZ27oJt8q82XrdE Enjoy, and practice well! 👊 - Patrick

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Thanks, Soma!

[@buyyaumashankar]

Which is best boxing or kickboxing ? eagerly waiting for your reply sir

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

That depends, Buyya. Boxing is great if you really want to focus on your punching, but having kicks to complement is, in my opinion, essential - so is wrestling and grappling to have a well-rounded set of martial arts skills. Hope this helps. - Patrick

[@ashutoshkashyap5234]

[@ukdon7429]

What is the diffrence between a jab punch and a cross they look the same.

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Good question. The Jab is a straight punch thrown with the lead hand (the same side hand as your foot that's in front), and the Cross is a straight punch thrown with the back hand. They both employ the same trajectory, and pretty much the same upper body mechanics, but you will be twisting your lower body on the cross. The Jab is faster, and Cross more powerful. Check out this updated "How to Punch" video for many more details! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2WQlYx_h9CIipo Enjoy, and please let me know your thoughts! - Patrick

[@InkedAquaticsReptiles]

Over hand, hook, and jab but most of all, I just love my grapples, armbars and restraints

[@77MMarco]

Hey. I just have one question. I heard a lot that it’s better to punch with the first to knuckles, whether it’s to nose or chin. But my question is, that when I punch someone in the nose with the two first knuckles, is there a possibility that my fist is gonna roatate to the side because I don’t punch with the center of the fist?

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2WQlYx_h9CIipo Check out the updated version of this video for all the answers!

[@Z4rius]

You got a video taking multiple people down I got ganged in highschool not too long ago?

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Sorry to hear that. Multiple opponents is tough, your best bet is first to learn how to fight, then apply these guidelines: 1. Get away ASAP. 2. Position yourself to see all attackers at all times as much as possible. 3. Do NOT go to the ground. 4. If you are strong in the clinch, you can use one guy as a shield against the others, at least temporarily. 5. If you do go to the ground, you would prefer being on bottom, as you can possibly use one guy as a shield if you hold him in a tight closed guard. But again, your best bet is to work on your fitness, learn techniques and principles to fight well, and practice diligently to develop those skills. Check out our PLAYLISTS page for everything you need to know. Hope this helps, and good luck 🙏 - Patrick

[@ahriyanawebster.312]

I’m not getting the diffrence from jab and cross ..they look the same .

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Hey Ahriyana, indeed they are similar, both straight punches and the upper body positioning is nearly identical. The difference is the Jab is delivered with the lead hand (the same side than the leg that is in front in your fighting stance), and the Cross with the back hand. For that reason, the Jab is generally faster, and the Cross more powerful, since it covers more distance and engages more of the lower body for its delivery. Hope this helps! - Patrick

When will you teach me the hidden lotus

[@jayakrishnankuttyjayakrish5650]

I'm 16 I want to start boxing Am I to late to start now

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Good point. I would say you still have time to become pro in Boxing, so long as you train hard, have good athleticism and good work ethic. If you just want to learn to have fun, get in shape, or learn self-defense, you can do so at any age. Hope this helps. - Patrick

[@naveenmusicofficial7375]

Jab punch is very effective it can injured the enemy very fast

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Indeed, the Jab is the fastest. The Cross or Overhand are probably the most powerful. In any case, they work best in combination. Check out this more detailed tutorial, How to Punch v.2.0: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2WQlYx_h9CIipo Enjoy! - Patrick

[@diosdadoapias]

In your other video you demo your basic kicks. I thought you the basic kicks are front kick, side kick, back kick and round kick. The groin and push kick, I think, are variants of front kick . on the other hand, the turning kick is just a back kick done with a complete turn.

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Thanks for the info, dosdadio. Indeed different teachers will select different kicks to be part of their basic curriculum. Those are simply the ones we chose to teach to beginners first, but there are many kicks to practice, which we will be covering in more detail in future videos. - Patrick

[@diosdadoapias]

Thank you sir. Your response confirms that one can make his own curriculum on what is best for him. I believed that even if you learn all the kicks and punches you can use one or two of them in a real fight. So why not master one or two kinds of kicking and punching; and practice the others as supplementary training. BTW sir, do you teach your student small area strike like extended knuckle and finger strike; and on how to practice them to withstand impact? Thank you.

[@shabnumislam9239]

And i thought jab is just to cover oponents eyes and then give a body punch.

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

The Jab has a wide range of applications, it can be utilized as defense, as a stand alone attack to the body or face, or as a setup for a variety of other techniques. Hope this helps. - Patrick

[@abdurrazzak305]

I think hooks are best in street fights

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Indeed, Abdur, hooks are great. Keep in mind that you need to have a full arsenal of techniques to be able to utilize your chosen one effectively. - Patrick

[@jaykeinnes6793]

Abdur the best thing in any fight is understanding space and no basic punch demonstrates the need of understanding space more than the hook in my semi -limited experience in fights in rugby and just general small town scaps so to speak as well as nearly 3 years Collectively boxing and MMA training.

[@RoJupey]

I wanna learn this to fight my brother because my brother always made me cry and now im gonna revenge

[@EffectiveMartialArts]

Sorry to hear that, Jufri. You can’t control your brother’s actions, only your own. The best advice I could give you is work on yourself, get stronger with good fitness training, and absolutely learn how to fight. Check out all the most recent videos on our channel for that. Most importantly though, DON’T SHOW EMOTIONS when your brother hurts you. Fight back, and try to stay calm inside, or at the very least, hide your pain. Bullies do what they do to get an emotional reaction out of you; if you don’t give it, they are more likely to stop. Hope this helps, abd good luck. - Patrick
