Aggressive sports are gaining in popularity. People need punching skills for self-defense and self-defense. Among young men and men, such a sport as boxing is very relevant, which involves a variety of insidious strokes.
Straight boxing punch
In boxing, there are two types of direct hit. The first one is called a jab. This blow is made with a hand aimed directly at the opponent. The second blow is a straight one, which is delivered with the hand from behind.
The jab has a small impact force. First of all, the task of the jab is to warn the enemy's movements and find his vulnerable spots. In addition, the jab is the fastest hit in boxing. Its trajectory is shorter than that of all other boxing punches. Therefore, the jab is considered a way of disorienting the opponent with light, but at the same time, quick and annoying punches. The blow gives a very good effect when capturing the enemy.
Swing kick
The swing is applied with the left hand, but in terms of strength it is significantly superior to the jab. Such a blow in boxing is quite tricky. But swing has a long trajectory. The enemy has such a blow to the body from the side or to the head.
The advantage of swing is that it is not noticeable due to its long trajectory, because the swing is performed in the same way as the jab, but the blow finds its completion from the side, and not in front of the opponent. The main purpose of swing is to counterattack quickly and strongly.
Hook kick
The hook kick is one of the strongest punches in the sport of boxing. Zealous fans of the hook are nookater boxers, focused on attacking fighting techniques. The punching speed is rather low and gives way to the rest of the boxing punches. But this is compensated by the power characteristics of the blow. The strategic task of hitting a hook is to send an opponent to a knockout. However, for a good effect, a boxer must have a competent hitting combination.
The most insidious punch in boxing
Most often, a direct blow to the jaw leads to a knockout in boxing. Even in preliminary boxing training, boxers learn to protect the jaw area.
Side kicks to the jaw are no less effective. The percentage of knockouts due to such a blow is very high. Both of these attacks pose a huge danger to the enemy.
Not much inferior to direct punches to the jaw is such a boxing blow as a classic uppercut. The hitting speed and length of the trajectory are very similar to swing. But the efficiency and power of the punch are superior to all other varieties, giving way only to lateral boxing punches to the jaw. Great uppercuts are good for both attack and counterattack. This type of blow is used by all boxers, regardless of their preferred methods of fighting. Of course, the main criterion is the correctness of the strike, then the effect will be exactly the way the boxer wants to see it.
