Jab Without Getting Countered

The basic boxing technique and fighting strategy to help you throw jabs confidently without getting countered. It's often said that the jab is the most important punch in boxing but it's incredibly terrifying to throw this punch when your opponent could counter you with a huge right hand or big hook. But then how are you going to setup your own big punches when you're too scared to throw the jab? I've put together some helpful tips to get you feeling more comfortable with letting go of the jab and punishing your opponent when he tries to counter it.

I liked the vid thanks for sharing ur knowledge ....one question have you ever sparred or competed please dont take offense but there alot of teacher's out there that claim to be something they are not i say this with respect.

or get your opponent used to a rhythm with your jab, then faint a jab with a quick in-and-out and then light him up when you're set on your feet. for this technique you would need to be decent at controlling distance though.

Gennady golovkin does keep he’s right hand alot to parry and shoot he’s own jab alot

[temporaldisplacement]

OK cool, I already cover my chin with my shoulder ....I was worried I was missing a trick here. Thanks Johnny.

[clarksface]

Dude, you rock! Thanks for all the great advice! I do jiu jitsu which im pretty good at but I just started boxing and I suck. Glad to have found you!

[sebasv]

Thanks Johnny i appreciate it. Very good tips. I like your approach. Boxing to me, now looks like a "science".

[highplainsdriftertv]

The fifth thing you talked about Johnny, the blocking with the right hand with throwing the jab. I see Gennady Golovkin do this consistently. Not necessarily one after the other, but he does do it a lot and no one has an immediate answer for it. Just thought that was an interesting point to note. Great video!

[tjmckee]

Once again a great job done by you. Thanks
