All tag results for 'jab'

This is for all the amateur boxers out there! FitPerez reader Sam wants to learn "the perfect jab", so he wrote boxer Alex Brenes for advice, asking:

Hi Alex,

So my question is – the perfect jab – whats the best way to go about it?

According to Alex:

Sam, If you ask my trainer of 12 years, Luis Lagerman & owner of www.sobekick.com in South Beach, any punch you land is the perfect punch. Your jab is a tool, find your range, keep your distance, rest, create openings, distractions, heck, I've even knocked fools out with a jab. By definition, the full extension of your front arm, left arm-if you are fighting orthodox (right handed) or right arm (if you are a lefty) is a jab. Your core & waist following through are a big asset to a great punch. Now keep 'em up & hit 'em!
