The Straight Right Hand<\/strong><\/p>\n

The straight right hand punch is always best delivered behind a left jab and as part of a specific combination, but with proper timing can be used in boxing as a lead punch (thrown individually), or as a counterpunch. The power of this punch is generated from the legs, hips, and core.<\/p>\n

Execution of the Straight Right Hand Punch<\/strong><\/p>\n

This punch is best delivered directly in front of the right shoulder.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use your footwork to line your right shoulder up with your target.<\/li>\n
  2. Start with shoulders relaxed, elbows tucked in, fist clenched, and the tips of your thumbs facing your opponent.<\/li>\n
  3. Rotate right hip forward until it is fully rotated.<\/li>\n
  4. Spin rear foot so that your heel comes off of the ground (as if you were screwing your toe into the ground).<\/li>\n
  5. Once fully rotated, allow your right arm to extend from torso, rotate arm at the elbow, and turn palm towards the ground at the moment of impact.<\/li>\n
  6. Only extend hand away from torso as necessary to reach target without learning forward.<\/li>\n
  7. Snatch the punch back into starting position faster than you throw it. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
