5 Common Jab Mistakes you MUST Fix to Punch Better

[@Tony_Jeffries]

Do you got any questions about the Jab? or have any video requests? Comment down below!! Watch next: Stop Telegraphing Punches in Boxing | Punch Faster and Land more Punches kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWKmXqiehtOhf5o

[@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.

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

Dude you’re literally the best boxing channel learning a lot from you I appreciate it! You deserve all your success 💯

[@Tony_Jeffries]

thank you ma man ... I try hard :) appreciate this comment

[@3colled51]

thx

[@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.

[@ΔημήτρηςΠ-χ8θ]

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

[@marabiofitsialnyy3530]

This is the reason why I searched this, this helped me improve my straights and jabs ty very much! I'm now a fan and a subscriber mate

[@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

My favorite is the “Double Jab” I focus more on different jabs than anything else.

[@keanufryer8181]

Love these videos, especially the longer ones with the different chapters. Absolutely has helped me for the past 2 years, cheers mate!

[@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

[@Kali-8]

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

[@TheBigDaddy1983]

[@billmclean6550]

thankyou for taping and wearing good gloves on the heavy bag, 40 years a lot of people damage there hands with bag mitts and it took many years not to drop my right hand a inch before throwing a real good jab

Great vid Tony, am guilty of 2 and very guilty of 5. Will try to train myself out of it.

[@SPTTT]

I’m a beginner but loving these videos. Definitely improved my jab just from shadow boxing and hitting the bag! I like the Mayweather style jab and feel like I can throw it pretty well. Not sure how disciplined I would be at keeping my hands up over a long period of time though! Will keep training 🥊

Glad I was taught the right way to jab with my family. Family boxing for 9 generations we love it!

Love the best combinations video though I was chinstrapped after practicing them. Keep up the great work it is much appreciated.

[@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.

[@fr.5915]

Great tutorial, amll so true !! Thanks for sharing this Tony, 🤩🖐😁🖐🧡 One note , also i think not telegraphed jabs can be beautiful when its a full rapid extension where the elbow doesn't raise so much on the side, and the step really minute and supple like lifting a pancake from a small frying pans ,

5 ERRORES EN EL JAB 1 - Tirar Jabs sin esfuerzo y sin volver la mano a posición de guardia. 2 - Hacer un Jab telegráfico 2:28, es decir, echar la mano hacia atrás antes de golpear. 3 - No extender tu brazo al máximo. El Jab es el golpe que sirve también para medir la distancia, y así puedes usar tu reach advantage. 4 - Hacer el Flick (darle mal). 5 - Bajar tu mano que no golpea. RESUMEN: 5:18

[@philnicholls786]

Champion Tony, I love your description and passion for the sport 👍👍👍

[@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.

Flick definitely has some affect...he validated it in the next section.1. it's unexpected and fast 2. It's also a range finder! Timing mechanism for a lot of good fighters...

I tried showing him what I know and told him to make sure his jab was solid before we get more complicated. He asked why. I said you're going to be getting onto street fights and most times they will be throwing nothing but haymakers and a straight jab is going to catch them off guard because they expect you to throw haymakers too

[@DyneTreal]

3:58 MIND THE POWER LINE! (elbow in and down; lined up with hip; maintain while extending arm first, then turn punch over to drive in knuckles while shoulder turns in to cover your chin/face - your elbow should NEVER come out bent to the side like this, because it also breaks your silhouette and makes it easier to see your punch)
