[@Leadfoot_P71]

Great stuff there coach! I'm a kickboxing coach since many years and I tell my (beginner) students to pull up their rear hand an inch or so as they throw the jab, to combat the tendency to drop the rear hand. So you're touching the orbital bone with your knuckles at first (with rear hand) and then when the jab lands your touching the eyebrow. Your thoughts on this?

[@ajnightcrawler]

Hey Tony. Thanks for the video. I know you have a video on why you might not be landing shots, but being new I was thinking about my training the other day and had a thought. When training on the bag it’s easy to always hit but when you are sparring or working with a partner it’s almost - and probably is - as though you are not as close to the other person as you are to the bag so it feels really alien. I wondered if you could maybe do a video on this and the differences and how to work on a bag vs with someone and land shots etc. thanks

[@derryboyo]

Good man tony, can you do a video setting up hooks from the jab? Great lesson as usual.

[@musharrafmfn750]

Hello tony can i have your number

[@mtbdarryl7559]

As always great video, any chance you can do a video on how to be relaxed in training and in the ring instead of being uptight. Something I really struggle with!

[@MrCambry]

Straight to the point and willing to show his own mistakes. Can’t tell me Tony isn’t one of the best boxing coaches.

[@spencer6049]

The flick can be used to make opponent blink and such, it's fast and can be implemented into your arsenal. Tyson fury is known to use it quite often.

[@brutuslutus6636]

it is fundamentally wrong though and a beginner should not flick the jab until he knows how to throw an actual jab.

[@ceroew4239]

Flicker jab is more advanced. You have no business throwin it if u cant manage a prpper jab first. Also it might also be a flicker unintentionally bc the person is bein lazy or just throwin it just to throw it.

[@spencer6049]

@@brutuslutus6636 yea fair point but I'm pointing that it can still be used. And there's nothing "fundamentally wrong" different move for different purpose.

[@user-vm3cl8mr8z]

Yes if you are a PROFESSIONAL you can use it. If you are a regular athlete stuck with the regular jab.

[@gianniskritikos9432]

"If you want to break the rules, you must first learn them" :)

[@oz70nyc50]

I was guilty of both telegraphing and flicking when I started 2 decades ago. Took me a good 3 months of drilling just jabbing for me to unlearn the habit. At 41 now, I can jab a hole in a hanging piece of paper. I actual emulate Jack Dempsey's jab, which he throw both his jab and his cross with his elbows down rather then outwars.

[@Tony_Jeffries]

Thanks for sharing mate, took me 6 months to avoid dropping my hands

[@rokmin8550]

good tips Tony, I remember learning the jab and I'm thinking "eh how easy this is, its just a straight punch" man was I wrong, I mean yeah it is a straight punch but there's so much to it that you don't see. I think my biggest problem was telegraphing (all my punches) and I spent hours and hours practicing by myself to correct that and I'm happy to say even though I'm not active any more, I'm much better at not telegraphing any of my punches, look at it this way, your jab can never be "too good". That Mayweather jab is something but my all time favorite was Sonny Liston, man what a jab! Have a good day

[@juice7717]

when i started out i would always record myself practicing just to see my mistakes, i would basically be my own coach telling myself what i need to change and work on, i think that helped me a lot with my form overall

[@rokmin8550]

[@no1r]

The amount of passion and pro advices that transpires from this man is overwelming. Also, i love such a british accent, even if i'm italian ahah.

[@Davie63]

Natural, simple, enthusiastic and delivered with confidence backed up by experience a great way of instructing the core skills in boxing. As a 59 year old I have incorporated them into my fitness regime and try to learn a new tip at the beginning of the week then practice it in every session. Love the best combinations video though I was chinstrapped after practicing them. Keep up the great work it is much appreciated.

[@jaketheasianguy3307]

Tony, what do you think about the risk of hyper extension when snapping the jab with the arm fully extended ? Aren't we suppose to keep it a little bent so injuries won't build up over time

[@boygonewhoopdataZZ]

Don't miss lmaa

[@Sacciuiguai]

Full extension means 90 to 95% instead of being face to face to your opponent/heavy bag throwing with 50% extension. 100% is never be good due to hyper extension in case of missing the target like you said!

[@AjaychinuShah]

Good way to stoke their anger and redirect them to the mat. kudos!

[@boxy1011]

Just twist as you throw

[@akshaykali7037]

I once did that some years ago on a boxingbag, not a great experience. Yeah bent the jab just a little, but still try to get maximum reach like Tony said

[@rykehuss3435]

Tony when you were demonstrating the "Floyd" jab, you were pulling your lead hand back quite a bit before each jab. Essentially nullifying the pros of that style of jab (speed) and also telegraphing it.

[@hasisoconswalos808]

Imagine thinking you have more knowledge then an Olympic medalist boxer

[@c.galindo9639]

Cool. Thanks Tony. I have been lacking on reviewing videos from work then training for boxing. I have better technique but your tips help a lot in reviewing as I like perfecting what I already know to embed it 100% in my head to where it is like second nature

THANKS MR TONY JEFFERIES . 👍. GREAT TEACHING EZY UNDERSTANDING. 👏

[@NotEvenOverThere]

Great video man you actually touch on the purpose and not just the technique reminds of Marvin Cook, both of you are natural teachers. People forget to sharpen their sword and bring their shield then wonder why their head is getting chopped off. I think of my lead side as the shield and my rear side as the sword, as for my stance I think of myself as holding a rifle as I aim down its sights at my opponent. Using your jab to set up shots is the same as shield bashing a sword away, all while keeping your aim steady. Dropping your hand after a jab is like dropping your rifle or, you can’t shoot back while you aren’t aiming. Can’t defend yourself or take any damage with no shield, and a weak set of armor (soft bodies). The only time you should drop your shield/rifle/sword is if you’re running away, otherwise be ready for what they have to throw your way.
