    From experience another reason to keep your elbows close to the body for body shots is it prevents shoulder injuries

      Joham Cherisme when you get power from this punch it comes from driving with your back leg. It's very close to a wing Chun upper cut.

    Great tips! Never considered the 1st one and nobody really told me. But I used to spar a guy who would look down and strike up and the other way around. This is a great way to fool smbdy and I adobted this trick from him. Expecially when sparring a less experienced guy -just a quick look at the guts and bam -headshot. It's like faking it, but better :P

    One more thing, although it is related to kick boxing, if you are doing the wrong shot in the body, as the man said, and showed, in combination for example left jab, right body shot, opponent often tries to hit you with right leg kick after your jab (or simultaneously with your jab), and if you leave that opening between the elbow and the body, he will slip his shin in your ribs. Yet again JT Van V did phenomenal tutorial video. Often I look at a martial arts training videos, and this guy is doing the best ones. I salute you from Serbia!

      3Kings617 umh you should actually go to a gym and train there, you should at least know your basics like: your stance, how to move forwards, backwards and sideways, your basic jab and straight. without your basics your punches would be floppy, weak and easy to dodge. this video is actually more for those who are on boxing or did boxing and trying to improve at home, i not trying to say you should stop watching it but i just try to inform you it is better to go to a actual boxing gym.

    @Mdougherty8054 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Soon as you got to the bit about elbow position I realized I've been doing exactly what you warned against. I think part of the cause for this bad habit is the desire to throw punches as hard as possible. Better to throw with 75% power with good technique than load up for a haymaker that won't land anyway. Thanks for the tips, keep em coming.

    • @PrecisionBoxing
      @PrecisionBoxing  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I like a lead left hook over the opponents right hand dropping in low, with your chin under your left shoulder. your forehead slides under his right. a little or time a right lead over the jab. or if you inside a right hook to the body to right uppercut, the hook straight.

      The other thing is that at my gym they teach us to slightly squat when throwing shots at the body, personally I find that I have too much to think about when I do this and there isn't as much power when I do this, what do you think?

    Hey JT Van V, quick question. I can bang to the body with decent power but I find it difficult to find my range when it comes to body shots. Sometimes I just jab, then get them used to seeing a jab, then feint it and go to the body and it does work but then I end up smothering my own work by stepping in too close. Any ways or training tips to avoiding that? Like I either end up over-reaching and being very open or stepping in TOO close and not being able to follow up the body shot with any combinations. Thanks!

    • @PrecisionBoxing
      @PrecisionBoxing  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, the key is to develop power in close, not try to get the perfect range. You have to develop your inside game

    i was wondering how you generate power with your lead hand, i have tried to use some method as the other hand, however the rotation of the waist seems akward when i try it.

    • @PrecisionBoxing
      @PrecisionBoxing  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Alastair Baird lead hand power for a straight comes from driving off the back foot. For the hook its shoulder/waist rotation. You have to improve these aspects

    • @allstair4212
      @allstair4212 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      thanks for the reply.
      so just to confirm, body shots on the lead hand should be more of a jab or a hook driving off the back foot, rather than an uppercut type of body shot as shown in the video for the rear hand?

    • @PrecisionBoxing
      @PrecisionBoxing  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Alastair Baird no, body shots off the lead hand are rotation of shoulders and hips with the hand driving forward. dont think about the back foot.

  • @erfdsddfsdfdsf7009
    @erfdsddfsdfdsf7009 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well... When is it okay to dip down for a body shot?Or it is not okay? Also when I dip for a body shot, is it okay to do some combinations to the body or should I just get myself back up as soon as possible.. Maybe if I match the dipping with some head movement and foot work whilst down there in order to avoid some of those punches
