Jab – Uppercut – Hook – Angling for Success

Long Range Destruction with Class!

The object of this article is to demonstrate the effectiveness of changing the angle of shots that you deliver to the target.  After landing the first shot in this boxing combination, the jab, the ability of the opponent to defend against the subsequent shots is limited to say the least.  The shots are all at long range and a combination of this type I hope should trigger some thought processes in you to develop some of your own, equally effective, combinations.

OK, here’s the combination:

  1. Throw a jab
  2. Throw a right uppercut at long range
  3. Throw a left hook at long range.

A second interesting point about this combination is that the right uppercut sets the opponent up beautifully for the final left hook, and all of this with minimal risk to you!  They don’t call it the ‘art of boxing’ for nothing you know!  Check out the article on boxing combinations to get more of an understanding of the technical theory behind building effective combinations.  In the meantime, leave a question or comment below.

Cheers

    I like it!

    Here is one of my favorite punch combinations. Although it is technically illegal in boxing, you might use it in sparring for a laugh sometime.

    Jab
    Cross or Overhand to the lead thigh
    Lead uppercut

    An overhand to the thigh is an easy punch to land and can be quite painful and mobility hampering!

    Almost all common reactions to getting punched in the thigh leave opponents vulnerable to the uppercut, which is itself well-hidden by the lowering of the body for the thigh-punch.
