Tips For Effective Jabs

There are a few ways to effective punching for boxing. First, use the whole extension of your arm to throw a jab; nothing more nor less. Also, your legs should be moving when you use jabs. Take advantage of the legs to get into your full arm range if you haven't done so. If you don't use your legs to move, you will most likely get harmed when you try too hard to throw a jab (by leaning forward, for example.) Lastly, throwing several and quick jabs to your opponent can give you an idea on how they'll react to your strategies. It's recommended to use quick jabs before using any major technique.
