Concepts covered in this video:
1. Extension // Point of Impact // Retraction

Got mine from Steve Fox I.e Tekken. Would like to see a bout between him and Ippo ;)

The fact that you uploaded this just when i was searching for a way to increase speed on your channel is the proof that we live in a simulation

Thanks . My grandma didn't stand a chance

Ayeeee Hajime no ippo fans rise! Our time has come. Mashiba went from being dead ass scary to funny af, his flicker jabs were a real problem for ippo at first tho!

[BlackCroLong]

Do it Mashiba style. Throw them like you want to dislocate your shoulder

The jab is definitely so important and I think it’s so underused in MMA

[richardgomez]

Instead of “shhhh” I’m going to start saying “bap!” When ever I throw a punch or a kick 😂

I added speed to my jab by slightly rotating my shoulders. Its a push / pull thing... when the jab arm goes forward you should pull your other hand back slightly. (see Muhammad Ali for example) This will create a rotation in your shoulders launching your front shoulder forward which in turn explodes your jab hand forward... A fast power step forward also will add velocity and power to the jab... Nice video, good job explaining how not to leave the jab hanging out there, I still see high level pro fighters doing that with the jab and the cross...

Flicker jabs are the ultimate set up, in my opinion. I use it to set up several combos—sometimes even to set up other types of jabs. Depending on how you throw them it can still rack up damage if you hit 10 flickers on the same spot in a single round.

Use it enough and the opponent will learn to expect them. It sets them up for a big surprise when you land the big punches outta nowhere and helps you lead the opponent on.

(Also love the Hajime no Ippo reference)
