Similar to the Right Uppercut, the Left Uppercut is delivered in an upward motion and is best to throw in close range, and in response to a movement of your opponent. The most important part of throwing the left uppercut is starting in the correct position. It\u2019s important to keep the knees bent while rotating the right hip forward as you pull the left hip backward to coil the hips and legs to explode with rotational force as you return to your basic boxing position. It is the combination of the upward thrust & rotation of the hips which creates the bulk of the power in the left uppercut.<\/p>\n
