Jab: snap, don’t push
Snap, don’t push
A jab that pushes becomes a telegraph. The hand should fire and return on nearly the same line, with the shoulder and hip contributing without collapsing the guard.
Solo training makes this hard to feel. The shot can feel sharp while the recovery lags or the chin lifts — habits you only notice when someone else is watching.
Form Fighter watches the jab, picks the weakest mechanic in that set, then drills it out loud so the fix sticks before you throw combinations again.
Checklist
- Lead hand fires and returns on a straight line
- Chin stays tucked; rear hand protects
- Shoulder and hip contribute without lunging
- Recovery is as fast as the outbound snap
