The Killer Shot - How to Get Your Boxing Uppercut Technique Right

Go Here to Download Your Book - www.myboxingcoach.com - The boxing uppercut technique is for me the most difficult to master. There is a slight variation to the hip rotation that is key to deliver the uppercut with the vertical forearm, a core attribute of a well executed uppercut

When you get the boxing uppercut technique right you have the best possible chance of the punch landing and landing with good force. The uppercut is the most technically challenging punch but it's very satisfying when you nail that technique.
A key part of the technique is the variation of the rotation of the hips. Everything is driven from the feet (as usual), but at the end of the rotation the hip has to lift upwards. If the forearm is not vertical when the punch lands then as far as I'm concerned that's not a good, clean uppercut.
When it comes to faults with the uppercut technique, under rotation of the hips is the main issue that occurs. Under-rotation = no vertical forearm on impact. Don't exaggerate the uppercut either, bringing the hand down low before the shot goes. If you do that you are asking to be knocked out.
In terms of set up, the uppercut works best against the static or advancing opponent. Using the jab and then the slip inside (for the lead hand uppercut) or slip outside (for the back hand uppercut) is a great set up. You can also duck and move in to get to close range after which you can get the uppercuts working.
When someone executes a good boxing uppercut technique, it's difficult to defend. The 'Philly Shell' or half-guard can be effective, as an hand blocks. For me though, proactive slips and ducks is a great way to make it more challenging for the opponent to deliver that uppercut.

Thank you so much 👍

[@kulkarnisingh347]

Great content coach , i like your calm demeanor & way of explaining the little little things like straight cross and extended cross . There is no background music or written instructions on videos which makes it even more surreal.

[@xguilleutd]

His movements are so smooth, as if he was born for this. Thanks for the tips coach, you’re a beast! hugs from Brazil

[@perrymccallum8931]

I like it.When I fought it Brisbane we were taught to roll the UC.Fran snaps it which is much more conservative and quicker when bringing your hand back home to defend.I suppose in close clinch it's better.Its just something to get used to I suppose.

[@Twobarpsi]

[@anthonyortiz7924]

Hey Fran! Thank you for this channel, I love your breakdown of techniques and analysis of styles such as Rocky Marciano. I think your channel would benefit greatly from a deep analysis of Salvador Sanchez and breaking down how to fight like him. Thanks again!

[@myboxingcoach]

Thank you, that's really kind. Been toying with the idea of doing a vid on Sanchez. Wondrous fighter taken far too soon. On my list, thank you 👍
