Hi Tonny Can You Make a Video for lead hook like this video?

[@truthhurts1884]

If the jab is the most important punch in boxing, why are we doing it with our weaker hand?

You're one of the best coaches I watch on KZbin, you're the reason I've won against a cocky guy who was getting coached even if I'm self-taught. Your explanations are so simple to understand yet alter my perspective so much.

[@IzunaSlap]

A technique I recently learned was keeping your back straight while propelling forward into your jab, and then getting low while twisting into your cross. Keeping straight posture during your jab seems to feed more power to the followup cross.

[@Tony_Jeffries]

Appreciate you sharing mate

[@MikePrevs]

That’s the reason for the jab is to get into your cross

[@PMC607]

Yes, keeping good posture/structure encourages good balance. Balance gives you awareness of transferring weight and allows you to safely do so. Keeping the spine in an athletic position allows you to sequence your punches together with fluidity and allows you at will to direct as much power as the you need into whatever punch you’re throwing. Think of it like an archer and a longbow, except you tuck your chin into the shoulder, looking down the arm to the middle knuckle that’s inline with the nose covering your centre line. Completely stretch your upper body whilst remaining balanced and keeping good defence. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@janackermann288]

I just started 3 months ago with boxing. Your videos helped me MASSIVE in increasing power and technique. Even my coach was surprised im quickly getting better ( since im Studying and practicing all of your advices) Thanks soo much for that! You really producing gold here. Excellent videos , easy to follow and understand!

[@SellaSalbilla]

Ahh...congrast! Your coach will be proud of you! Because you learn fast because you watch this video and the other video

[@andrewtanczyk4009]

19:00 Thanks for clearing that up. Yah I was taught similar that you don’t want the bag to swing around too much.

[@Master_Of_The_Universe]

I know you probably won't see this but I binged a bunch of your content a few years ago before my first Muay Thai class and actually had pretty decent striking because of it. Thanks!

[@andrewtanczyk4009]

16:10 I was told when you hit the bag you want the bag to jump up rather than swing. If you are using proper weight transfer and quick punches that you pull your punches back quickly the bag should pop and bounce slightly upward.

[@tylerleavitt2715]

My comment is about the value of the psychological aspect that you seem to highlight in almost every video. It is clear you place a lot of emphasis on this, indeed the fight you mentioned, you probably stayed out of getting in a lot worse trouble by having awareness of that Croat’s jab, but a winning mindset is very important and I think it’s great that you coach on that as well. Great video!!

[@Tony_Jeffries]

Thanks for sharing mate

[@systemSkynet]

Doesn't matter what I do in life I always say "but Tony Jeffries told me to do it in a youtube video". Positive there must be a warrant out for him by now.

[@andrewtanczyk4009]

18:00 I was taught if the bag is swinging too much then you punch it when I comes back to you. Similar to when trying to catch an opponent while they are moving forward to attack you.

[@carlhaldeman420]

Great stuff. I'm old but I'm learning. I might need this because I take public transportation. Ha.

[@silasginell9251]

😂 you had me going there about that first jab technique. Good stuff awesome content, helpful

[@Bigramt]

I don't want to name drop but a guy i know whos good friends with my brother was a former British and European champion. He thinks too many fighters neglect the jab to the body these days I think of Mayweather who used to throw a beautiful jab to the body and was great for bringing a fighters guard down I was only an amateur boxer/kickboxer, but always tried to improve my jab I love watching old fights of Larry Holmes. Few fighters could throw a jab like him. He made it look simple, nothing flashy, but completely effective

[@17losttrout]

Thanks Tony, much appreciated.

[@alxd-againstzaia2395]

At Corona year you were my trainer.!! Greatings my friend from Greece Kalamaria Thessaloniki

[@BobrLovr]

Tony saying that you can have your jab hand hovering was game changing for me. I always had both my hands touching my face like mike tyson. Now I feel soo much more in control.

[@eduard9452]

Pleas always stick to your boxing style, doesn't matter who disagrees with you. Your boxing style makes so much sense to me.

spoke to steve allen bout that step back out of range,seem so simple when he showed,one of the greatest bits of advice. sunderland

[@JustinHampton-l5j]

The end of the video is great, really showing what a pro athlete can do! With that kind of movement, the opponent can't know what's coming next, even something like a lead right is preloaded on some of the movements.

[@dilayemir2876]

I just started kickboxing and these videos really help. I will watch more, thanks :)

[@barotk3776]

Love the videos. - only popped in to watch boxing for beginners and three videos in. I’ll be doing a video a week at the gym to get my technique spot on! Cheers Tony.

[@Megladong]

Always great coaching. Thank you Tony.

[@rolandotillit2867]

Power is easy, efficiency is hard. You jab needs your guard hand involved. Because when you turn your thumb it turns your waist, which turns your shoulder, which engages your legs. Turning your guard hand's thumb towards your punching hand rotates your waist and shoulder into the punch, and drives your rear leg into the ground in one motion. If you turn your punching hand, it also turns your waist. If you turn your right thumb palm up, it turns your waist to the left, if you turn your right thumb palm down it turns your waist to the right. When you turn your right hand palm up, and turn your waist to the left, it drives the right leg into the ground. When you turn it the opposite way, or palm up with the left hand, the left leg get's driven into the ground.

[@oddrocket2743]

Great video! I started to incorporate some of the jab while stepping away drills in my punching bag workout. Also, the making a fist makes a lot of sense.

[@southernboymoneyshipmusicgroup]

Tony's the best!!!!

[@matusjurcik6974]

8:00 When you have tight fist when you jab (already before the jab), it could brake your momentum and speed as I see it (contarcted muscles, will slow down that swing). But you are the boss 😇. Both option seems to have also some flaws. Slowed down vs broken hand.

[@kevinle5460]

Best boxing videos Coach Jeff

[@PerN1660]

A while ago Tony made a video, with an excersise where you throw the jab once, then 2 times, then 3 all the way up to 10. At 10 you throw 9, then 8 all the way back to 1. I love that excersise, it has improved my (admittedly still not very impressive) jab so much. Its also very tiring but you really notice improvement, if you do it consistantly. I´m to old to be fighting anyone, it just keeps me in shape, but seing improvement is still very motivating.

[@BassaBahya]

Hello coach im a fan from Tunisia i stopped boxing because back problems but ur videos motivate me i hope you see my comment❤

[@sameerqureshi-kh7cc]

Just phenomenal! Tony you ARE a life-saver 😊👍

[@AlexanderFlores-re7uk]

Viva la Tony Jeffries. Much Respect my G.

[@JustinHampton-l5j]

I would agree with srl at 9:00 - the act of squeezing your fist stiffens the arm (briefly) and you would exert more energy keeping it tight all the time But Tony's insight is very good too - if you mistime it, or the opponent moves to force a mistake, you can more easily be injured!

[@gabrielsanchez4207]

Great video.. it's funny all the rookie mistakes I used to do he does them in the "dont do this" lol love it

[@lancevoorheestapestrichann9740]

Great video. I'm a Karate guy but I got a quick boxing lesson from Joe Frazier when he played "himself" on "A Whole New Ballgame." Super nice guy convinced my that instead of throw a right overhand off my back heel I should rotate off the ball of my foot. Anyway, you are teaching something similar with the jab. Kudos. I love your videos.

[@rolandbishop1716]

Hey Tony you may have already make a video on this. But I'd like to see a video on how to block punches without allowing your opponent to punch your own fist into your face. And how to perry punches and shoulder roll. Thanks for the videos.

[@abu-muawiyah]

Honestly its incredible that we are able to get all of this knowledge for free.

[@nicholasm7822]

Another reason to twist your hand into horizontal position as the punch lands is that this little but of movement, even though it is not forward movement, adds to the force of the jab. Similarly, snapping your hand back quick decreases the time of impact and adds to the force of the jab. I learned that from my high school physics teacher.

[@mbkarateandyoga]

Loose fist before impact is a relaxed arm. Tight fist is a tensed arm. Relax fist for a quicker punch. Accelerate your speed and accelerate your tightening of the fist simultaneously making pressure to the floor with the lead foot to make power equal to the opponent running into a brick wall.

[@mickthemerciless9694]

Great lesson.👍

Awesome instructor !

[@peterekka6621]

[@TheRedneckGamer1979]

I would add to this that sometimes you want to roll your shoulder, sometimes a jab can turn into a straight.

sir, can you do a list of workout that we can do for a whole week such as monday:... tuesday:.... Im trying to get fit for boxing because im very skinny, very appreciate you❤❤

[@kingkonglji]

If no one answers. Press-ups pull-ups sit-ups bag work. Pretty simple really

[@xtragear4525]

The truth is it’s quite hard to box a lot and build a good amount of muscle at the same time. If was you I’d try do 7 sessions a week with 1 rest day. Those 7 can be 4 boxing and 3 weightlifting or 5 weightlifting and 2 boxing.

[@xtragear4525]

Any combination of those 7 workouts will allow you to become a beast💪

[@Tony_Jeffries]

I posted a full workout in my channel, please check it out!

[@liitswqvsl9879]

To help with stepping into the punch, try to aim through your target. This helps with not just the jab but any other punch or strike, whether it be kicks, knees, or elbows.

[@MP-db9sw]

Ive always done the loose fist version and yea I have hurt my hands. I like the logic of this way so I'll see if I can learn it. Arms lose, fists tight. Thank you 🙏 11/2024

I agree. Tight fist bc I am concerned the opponent may walk into my jab before I tighten my fist. I suppose if I was as fast as Sugar Ray maybe I would think differently.

If you don't think the Jab is essential, look what happened when Errol Spence lost the jab battle against Crawford

Another comment I remember Floyd saying to throw the jab away from the face. Yes you are more open, but less distance to travel and can be much sharper I wish i had these expert tips when i used to fight. Still good to learn when working heavy bag Awesome video from a true student of the game. Kids that box should be all over these. Of course listen to your coach, but the tips on these videos are Gold and you can never have too much knowledge
