1.You push the punch.
Stop pushing. Snap it like a whip.
2.Your chin is exposed.
Tuck it behind your lead shoulder as you strike. Protect the button.
3.You don’t step with it.
No legs means no power. Step into the shot.
4.You leave it out there.
Retract it instantly. Bring it straight back home.
5.You telegraph the shot.
Your elbow flares out. Keep it tucked. Hide the launch.
6.You drop your opposite hand.
Throwing the lead means the rear hand stays glued to your face.
7.You aim for the gloves.
Break through the guard. Aim for the nose. Aim for the chest.
8.You lack variation.
A single speed is easy to time. Mix hard jabs with fast, flicking jabs.
9.You always throw it to the head.
The body is open. Bend the knees. Stab the stomach.
10.You forget the double.
One jab is a greeting. Two jabs is a problem. Double it up.
11.You step back when throwing.
Do not retreat. Hold your ground. Demand respect.
12.You close your eyes.
Never lose the target. See the impact. Read their reaction.
