Boxing

This is Western boxing, hands only fighting.

The main tools are:
Jab, Cross, Hook, Uppercut

The target is the head, the purpose is the knockout.

With lead and rear hooks and uppercuts, this generates 6 basic punches. You learn and practice these on the pads, then try them out in sparring.

Drilling is progressive:

Basic punches - the "big 6"
Defences
Attack combinations
Defensive combinations
Sparring

ABC means "Attack By Combination".

For ease, we use abbreviations for writing ABCs.

J - Jab
C - Cross
H - Hook
U - Uppercut

L - low, as in LJ or LC

R - rear, as in RU or RH. As the C is always rear we don't write RC.

These ABCs are practiced on the focus pads, drilled in lineups, then tried out in sparring.
