The most important thing in boxing is to keep things fresh. If you notice that you hit the punching bag with combos exactly the same every time, chances are your opponent will notice this. If you act like a computer and perform the same movements over and over again, your opponent will be able to settle very quickly. Unpredictable. Quick jabs should make a pop sound on the punching bag, as opposed to a blow flat. This is not only the number of JAB that matter-is the time between them. Try throwing three jabs in one second, pause for one second, then take a look. Or maybe jabs continued for several seconds, followed by a pause, followed by a single shot, then a cross. The pause tells your opponent that you tired (even if you do not). The JAB only makes your opponent think you will repeat several jabs and the cross is a complete surprise. Use a stop clock or even a metronome for the next bag of sand to test your speed and variation. The final change to the JAB is the point of impact. Yes, the blow guide hits the same spot each time. This is not very unlikely. It’s not going to throw your opponent of their game Take JAB text book and imagine that it is the central place in a 3 x 3 squares. The remaining 8 seats are eight items of the impact of the landing of the JAB in a slightly different place can really throw your opponent of his game Choose a point on the punching bag and to create the square of 9 squares of all JABs possible around this central point. Practice different sets of jabs in each square, separated by 0. 25.0. 5,1,2 intervals of one second, finishing each series of jabs with a cross or a hook combo cross. The JAB / punching bag combos above are just a few ways to mix. Try applying some of the variable valve timing and changes in point of impact with a few punches others such as cross, uppercut, blow, Lhook, Rhook, etc..) Be unpredictable. Be quick. Be great.
