• Boxing Basics: A Beginner's Technical Guide

The jab is your most important tool: fast, sets distance, creates openings. The cross follows the jab with power. The hook is powerful but slow โ€” it's a finishing punch when the timing is right. Defense comes before offense. Slipping, bobbing, and footwork are what keep you safe.
