Do you tun your foot when you jab

[@tomaszrutkiewicz426]

@Tony_Jeffries make a video about Nate Diaz's boxing, please ;)

[@palmergriffiths1952]

@Tony_Jeffries Hello I'm new to your channel. Really enjoying the content. My Dad & Grandfather got me into watching boxing. My Grandfather did it when he was in WWII and his good friend was once Welterweight champion of Canada by the name of George "Rockabye" Ross. All the best with your channel and keep up the great work. I would like to add a question hopefully it's not a dumb one. I was wondering is it always important to pronate your punches when you throw them ? I seem to recall my Grandfather telling me that when he showed me how to use the Heavy bag or am I wrong ?

[@faizmirza176]

Sir I'm from India I participated in a boxing tournament . I'm learning from your videos❤

[@Nicegangster90]

yo coach , i just watched your fight against Matt Hainy and it was a masterclass, the way you sliped his hook was crazy, boxing needs people like you in the game

[@Screencappedhats]

Lennox had alot of success with his jab because he kept his hand extended halfway between him and his opponent so it only needed to travel half the distance. He explained it himself in a video on KZbin.

[@jimmybaldwin737]

Yeah I remember that. I think he was showing it to wilder in one of his videos

[@Screencappedhats]

@@jimmybaldwin737 yeah it was Deontay! Too bad he never utilized it.

[@NiSiochainGanSaoirse]

and Tony explained it exactly the same way.

[@randumbguy7965]

hey, bro out of context question but does punching in solar plexus safe or is there any fatal harm to the guy getting punched?

[@Dat4valveGuy]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@randumbguy7965with glove on you’re not killing anybody with that

[@trontosaurusrex9532]

I like that you mentioned Lenox Lewis' jab. First time I watched him box,I noticed his jab. It seemed so effortless every time he threw one,like it was as natural as breathing. Thanks Tony!

[@Tony_Jeffries]

Totally agree!

[@gold6813]

Well Emmanuel Steward was a big part of Lewis relying on that later in his career.

[@brandongreen3242]

Larry Holmes had the best jab

[@JohnSmith-oe5kx]

I am *not* the expert that Tony is, but I greatly increased the speed of my jab and reduced telegraphing by focusing more on bringing my hand back than on the punch itself. How to do it: Imagine yourself trying to grab an apple from someone as quickly as you can. You only get to keep the apple if you can bring it back to your starting position (your guard) before he can react. You will find that you do not draw your hand back first (telegraph) because your focus is getting the apple as quickly as possible, and your hand will return to your guard almost instantly.

[@brave7033]

It makes sense! Thx 👍🏼

[@sameerqureshi-kh7cc]

I think the one and only channel in which we learn : 1. Boxing 2. Self Defense 3. Physical Fitness 4. Confidence Building All the best good luck Tony 😊👍

[@angusnaidoo7309]

Impressive presentation. On the button. No time waste. An example of how to do these presentations correctly.

[@Ezio_Auditore_Assassin]

You are the first coach I've heard that landing the jab on the forehead, to show the judge and frustrating our opponent. I have thought about why not doing it? But I never really do because around me their is no one do it. I think this really makes sense. Anyhow jab is not for knocking out, by this way, rather than hitting the chin, we can make our jab have more functions.

[@johnbrooke9948]

There is a risk of fracturing the hand.

[@M-a-k-o]

I love your passion for the sport Tony. I train kickboxing but I've recently started taking boxing lessons in the same gym because of you. Great content as always🏆

[@MonkeyDToniProductions]

I take a lot of inspiration from guys like Sonny Liston and Sugar Ray throwing their jabs

[@Tony_Jeffries]

Thanks for the comment mate, and keep it up!

[@amss6433]

I used to be in the military and box a lot but since I left I didn’t continue but watching your video Tony mate has reinvigorated my interest and I been back at it again in the local gym thanks mate 👍

[@brolav7361]

Another thing about the forehead jab, when their forehead flies back the chin goes up. Wouldn’t a right hook to the chin be the perfect follow up? Especially if you’d set it up with [forehead jab -> body straight right] twice and then the [forehead jab -> right hook to the chin]

[@thomashalm8585]

Depends on the guard being used. And you also not using that jab to the forehead multiple times. If not, ur opponent gonna be prepared for it and counter u while taking a "Harmless" jab to forehead.

[@TheDeepExplorer1]

I like how you can talk about an old opponent and praise him for the way he was hitting you. Even you said it…..it was a game changer. Respect from up north ma man 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@gideonartistry]

Naoya Inoue arguably has the best jab in boxing right now. It's like a pistol. Quick, sharp and powerful. So whenever I see other top fighters today that don't have a great jab like Inoue, I feel like they are not that superior.

[@mannypacquiao8177]

ggg still got it

[@viniciusdamasceno662]

Very grateful for the video package Tony, thanks! The timing was perfect, I just started training

[@nakyilivingston-bowers362]

Much respect to you, you teach me so much!💪🏾

[@Tony_Jeffries]

Appreciate it mate

[@bryanleejh]

1. solid base 2. telegraphing 3. speed over power 4. target 5. great habits 6. coordination how to punch faster 1. think about speed 2. keep your hand out 3. step & punch at the same time

[@thehumblegent]

Hey mate, always enjoy your videos, you don’t take yourself serious, take the piss a bit, always good to watch. For me, Marvelous Marvin Hagler had a beautiful easy jab, plus he was an absolute monster. Not boxed for 31 years and now in my fifties but still skip and do the heavy bag and your videos confirm that I generally did everything the right way and still retain the good habits. So cheers for that brother. Peace, love, and keep on keepin’ on. X

[@Big_Sauce_Boy]

As someone who is only just now learning the true art form of throwing punches, you are a lifesaver bro! You confirmed a lot of my suspicions about how the jab works mechanically

[@aalamer6]

Amazing that you have Arabic audio for this video شكرا لك توني 😊😊😊

[@markmachale1169]

From someone that loves boxing but knows bugger all about the intricacies of it that was excellent mate, easy to understand and you got on with it without waffling, great work son👍🏻

[@amed.abraham]

Tony is the best one that explains boxing on KZbin ... very engaging and entertaining at the same time. I rarely watch videos from start to finish but Tony cured my ADHD lol

[@Revengeofthe-nerds]

I've found a lot of success with switching up the position my wrist is in/ the angle the jab comes from. Ie. switching between knuckles facing up, down, outwards - flicking up-jabs, "turning the door knob". Makes the jab more unpredictable and much easier to land.

[@thomashalm8585]

Bro what about jabbing with your index and middle knuckles to make the punch more sharp and painful. I am not really sure. Something i found out??

[@Revengeofthe-nerds]

@@thomashalm8585 Landing the jab with your index and middle knuckles will definitely make the punch more powerful, ideally, but a fight is never an ideal scenario. Power isn't always that important in a jab, either. I'd rather land 3-5 quick jabs than one big one. Varying your jab makes it harder to predict, paving the way for heavier shots to land.

[@Reaper74665]

Thanks for teaching us ❤❤

[@Tony_Jeffries]

My pleasure 😊 Happy to help mate

[@vinniemoscaritolo3318]

One of your best videos! You got every item. fantastic!

Ty so much Tony. I’ve been watching you since the beginning of the year when I first started boxing and all your videos have helped me with my foundation and improvement of the sweet science. One day I wish to meet you 🙏🏾

[@avoterz123]

What a bold statement, Tony. Any decent boxing coach teaches everything you mentioned

[@NiSiochainGanSaoirse]

not so much in multi combat gyms though. MMA, and lesser knowledgeable striking coaches don't teach the same basics in the jab and it shows. If you young ones wanna lick up pure boxing knowledge, my advice would be to swerve the multi combat gym and focus purely on boxing. it really is the best technique.

[@lance-biggums]

A lot of amateur coaches teach the conventional boxing wisdom of keeping both hands at home by your face and do not teach the long guard

[@BlurryZurry]

Not really. Not this in depth

Sir, there are many people out there who says for these do these exercises , but no one has ever told that if you wanted t obecome a fighter these are the exercises you need to do everyday there is no where a plan, MOnday - this, tuesday - this, Wednesday - this etc.., it will be a great help if you can provide us a plan of what to do every single day.

Great video Tony. Top shelf. From Ireland ☘️

[@UTonyRock]

Thanks this video help so much!!

[@c.galindo9639]

Great tips. It’s really about making a solid foundation off of basic principles. These are the basic principles for a great habit but it varies on a person’s technique, style, and skillset. This is superb implementation but there are great boxers who can push a jab through without focusing too much on speed, then again it’s as I stated earlier about how it varies. Excellent video

[@KavemanBro]

This guy 'Ton' is the best coach outthere

[@James-g3i8z]

I kinda understand what you mean about power and speed but physics would say F=MA squared. Force = mass × acceleration or speed. You'd think the added distance would create extra speed, thereby creating an increase in power. Makes sense when it comes to strategy, for sure. Better to land it 9 times out of 10 than to exert more power and land less.

[@theprodigalson4003]

Really enjoyed hearing your thought process with a tactic somebody utilised against you. Would love to hear more about home fighters got the upperhand on you in fights so I can learn their tactics and get revenge! Great vid tony, thanks for the knowledge

[@lukasmuursepp2267]

As a karate student, I can confirm that jab is the most underrated punch.

[@mociczyczki]

its weakest and slowest in terms of contact velocity but cos have shortest road to target reach it fastest give oponent least time for reaction = change position .

[@TheMountainBeyondTheWoods]

@@mociczyczki Hu, thank you for letting us know...

[@0_0--RAIN---0_0]

We don't need a karate student to tell us anything, thanks :)

[@ultratoxic1]

Dont want to be rude but nobody cares what karate student thinks about boxing, sorry)

[@mazeradeville2911]

​@@mociczyczkiIt also has the longest reach since your hips are naturally turned towards the punch.

How do you wear the lace up gloves by yourself?

[@Screencappedhats]

Probably not by himself or he has them tied a little loosely to where he can still get his hands in. I do that myself.

[@Tony_Jeffries]

I'll add that to my lists mate, thanks for the suggestion

[@georgemoreno-ro7fn]

Another good thing you should learn it’s turning your fist when you jab it does more damage when you twist then when you just throw a jab my coaches taught me that good video though there’s alit of things I didn’t know about the jab

[@et2525]

Tony is now talking about how to throw the perfect jab

[@johnk6748]

Tony- question- When I was a Marine I blown off a rooftop by an RPG I was also shot. I have a nerve deficit in my right ankle from damage to my spine. In basic I can not do toe raises because the nerves just aren't getting the message. I have a home gym now and I box with a heavy bag a lot but I can't do the footwork. I know this is a long shot but off the top of your head can you think of or demonstrate some movement for those of us with war injuries or strategy for those of us who can't move the same anymore? Thanks man you are truly inspiring and a great ambassador for the sport.

[@nooche252]

Printing out my boxing checklist and filling it in tonight! Excited to use this video to help me assess my jab. And I’ll be honest 😢

[@ammarr3205]

How do u find an angle for a right hand body shot or left hand

[@DavidUKesb]

Step forward and across, ie at a 45 degree angle.

[@notisac3149]

I know it goes without saying, but a reminder never hurts... These are all great tips for boxing in a real match, but some techniques and goals may differ in a self defense scenario. For example, if you really need to punch someone, you're probably not going to be wearing gloves or wraps. In that case, I cannot advise punching to the top of the head or forehead. Instead, aiming for the nose, temple, eyes, cheekbone, jaw or neck (especially throat) would net you much better results, with a lower chance of injuring your hands. Still, plenty of this video's tips can be taken out of the ring! Another thing to bear in mind is that most would suggest learning more than one art. I have some confidence in a decent amount of kicks and punches, but I am very lacking in grappling and wrestling. If someone tries to throw me, or I get sent to the ground, I have many fewer options in part because my training is far from complete. Just make sure to keep in mind what it is your goals are, and try your best from there. I myself have a sparring partner I know very well, with whom I spar without gloves nor gear. I like think about how I can apply my practice to defending myself and others, though I will probably be incorporating hand wraps to stabilize the wrists for added safety at a rather minor cost. I might also try to find some minimal mma gloves. Do I want to be in a real fight? No, I hope it never happens in my life, but I want to at least try to be prepared. Do I advise sparring the same way to everyone? No, please don't use my example just because it works for me. Find what works for you and pleaaase stay safe!
