Boxing 1-2-1

[Emmanuelle Thaller]

Boxersbegin practicing the basics starting with offense and generally learn punches starting with the fundamentals - the jab (#1), the cross (#2), then onward to more complex punches such as the lead hook (#3), right uppercut (#4), and left uppercut (#5).[1] As boxers learn the fundamentals they begin to learn how to incorporate these punches together in a variety of combinations. The "one-two combo" is the first combination a boxer will learn from their coach that utilizes different punches, this is because the one-two combo consist of two fundamental punches first learned as a beginner. It is one of the most commonly used combinations in boxing.[2]

In a one-two combo, the objective is to get in range and land a power-punch.[3] In this situation, both the jab and cross have different purposes. Naturally, the boxing stance has the lead hand in front, closer to the opponent while the dominant hand is in the back, further from the opponent. In this combo, the jab (lead hand) is designed as a range finder to close the distance between a fighter and their opponent to set up a power-punch (backhand).[4] In a one-two combo the cross is the power punch due to the torque and rotation of the body required when using this technique.[3] While throwing this combo, the jab is thrown while stepping forward into range and is followed by the cross while the jab is retracted back to guard, after the cross makes impact it is then retracted back to guard.[5]

You can make the second jab faster by not retracting your hand all the way after the first jab. Pull it back only a few inches after the first jab and then release it forward again. Another way to think of it is JAB-touch-RIGHT!

Are you aiming (high) at the forehead? Or (low) at the chin? Straight on at the face (into the nose) or into the side (cheeks)? What about the side of his head by the ear? Often times your opponent may leave the top of his head or the side of his head open. Other times opponents will cover their heads by lifting their gloves too high and exposing their body.

The arms are a great tactical place to attack. Punching or pushing the shoulders can make your opponents lean back off balance. Punching at their gloves can distract them or make them cautious of countering in fear of exposing themselves, allowing you to land punches elsewhere.

Punching at the air around your opponent can sometimes cause him to react by swiping at your feints, or leaning off balance, and/or otherwise expose himself. I especially love to throw feints at the air. Even a simple lift of my right glove can cause a reaction.

Quick question. What is the best way in general to get around this tactic if you find yourself in a situation where your opponent is using this tactic against you? Would it be a better risk to try and focus on countering the tricky jabbing hand or to wait and counter the power hand?

Johnny ,

I have a hard time committing to combinations when sparring. I tend to be a comfortable counter puncher, but struggle to land multiple strikes after the first one. When I do use combinations, I find it difficult to land the second/third punch because my opponent has defended and moved out of range. I have a pretty good handspeed and quick feet so I would think I could use punching combos to my advantage. I know being able to throw combinations is the next step in my development Does any one have advice on staying in range when throwing combinations?

Also, I realised that the first combo, the hard fast hard works wonders for me. The hard makes your opponent believe in your jab and you can direct his hands anywhere using your second jab, which you can now make a feint, and then the right comes in. Im still findind it difficult to throw a hard jab after a fast one fast enough to avoid the annoying right counter.
