Punching in boxing is interesting for every novice fighter. In direction, they are all divided into two varieties: from the flanks and straight.
Types of punches in boxing are diverse, in total there are over ten. All of them are different from each other in length and direction. As a rule, this depends on the distance from which the blow will be delivered. The hand also moves in different ways. If the strike is distant, then it will need to be straightened completely. With the near hand, it will remain bent.
The most popular punches in boxing are, of course, direct ones. There are several varieties. The name of strikes in boxing, although they, by and large, are of the same type, is different. For example, there is a cross. This is a kind of direct hit, which is considered its most powerful variation. It is applied with a stronger hand, there are right and left options. Its implementation begins with a quick jerk of the fist.
At the same time, the fighter is pushed off by the right foot and abruptly moves forward, transferring weight to the other leg. Crosses are considered one of the most powerful varieties of strokes.
Direct blows in the box on the body can easily disable the enemy. Such attacks lead to a violation of the heartbeat and, quite possibly, to a knockout. Striking the human liver is fraught with spasms, breathing is interrupted, and fainting may occur. The solar plexus is a very vulnerable point, hits on which can bring a person to an insane state. A simple hit at this place throws the opponent into shock and stops his breathing for some time period.
A blow to the spleen is equivalent to an attack on the liver and causes the same sensations. Hits in the heart area are also dangerous - they disrupt the heartbeat.
Now let's move on to other varieties. Uppercut - direct movement with the fist from the bottom up, with the intention of falling into the chin or body of the opponent.
Speaking of punches in boxing, it is impossible to disregard the hook, or, in Russian, the hook. This is a side impact that does not require a backswing. It is applied with a bent elbow of the hand over the body or to the opponent’s head. A similar blow can knock out almost instantly, but it is very difficult in technical terms.
The next attack that I would like to pay attention to is the jab. This is one of the main boxing punches. It is applied over a long distance. Used to prepare an opponent for a line of power attacks.
These are the main attacks in boxing. How to put a hit right? You need to be fast. Even a person who is distinguished by force sometimes cannot knock out. All because he does not hit fast. If a person who is not muscular is slowly attacking, the blow will be unconvincing. To develop sufficient speed, you need to hone your skills on a small pear.
The psychological factor is very important in boxing. Someone is afraid of the enemy, some are afraid to overdo it. Subconsciously, the movements are constrained, and the blows become fuzzy. The ability to distance oneself from what is happening is the main postulate. Of course, not completely - that’s how you can get it in the jaw. But to set aside all extraneous emotions is vital. Only in this way is a boxer able to win a solid and confident victory.
You need to move, regardless of your physiological characteristics, you will just stagnate - you will not be able to deliver a powerful blow. An attack in motion is much more powerful than in any other position, and this is easy to verify.
You need to fight with your whole body - in many respects the strength of the hook or jab that you spent depends on the position in which your legs, shoulders, back are at the moment. If you want to knock out - aim at some strictly defined point.
We hope that these descriptions and tips will help you in this fight.
