Boxing right straight punch - far-hand straight punch

Direct right kick to the head

The right straight punch in boxing is a boxer's main weapon. His victory in a duel largely depends on how skillfully a boxer owns it. According to statistics, the share of a direct blow from the far hand accounts for a huge number of knockouts. The right straight punch in boxing is used in all forms of combat and at all distances, has a high degree of variation in execution.

Right-handed straight punch technique

From the classic stand (left-sided), the right straight line to the head is done like this:

1. Transfer of MT to the right leg (preparatory phase).

2. Powerful repulsion with the right leg from the support, leap forward with the extension of the right hand to the target and simultaneous rotation of the body around the axis: right foot - right hip joint - right shoulder. The arm moves along the shortest path (straight line) to the target with the simultaneous "twisting" (pronation) of the fist and forearm (insurance of the elbow joint from overextension).

3. In the final part of the blow - slight forward bend of the body. Placing the feet on a support in a jump move ahead of the moment the hand hits the target. The fist at the moment of impact is turned with the back side up.

Typical mistakes

• MT before executing the strike is on the forward standing leg
• the movement begins with the rotation of the trunk, and not the extension of the arm, which makes the blow noticeable and the boxer vulnerable and prevents the full inclusion of the trunk in the blow
• the blow is performed only due to the mass of the shoulder girdle
• premature torso tilt on impact
• the athlete passively remains in the combat zone after completing the strike

A straight punch to the head is most effective when prepared. A very good right straight goes right after - a straight blow with the left hand.

Boxing right straight punch - far hand straight punch

The technique of performing a direct strike with a far hand

Far-hand blow to the body

Direct blow with the right hand to the torso

The percentage of delivering a straight right punch to the trunk in a competitive fight is not as high as a blow to the body with a left. This is not due to its low effectiveness, but rather due to the boxer's inability to deliver this punch. An accurate and strong direct blow to the torso knocks down the opponent's breath and is relatively safe to execute. A blow to the body, as a rule, is delivered from a long distance in an attacking form, less often in a counter and very rarely in a response.

The blow is most often performed in two versions.

Option 1. A direct blow with the far hand on the body from a classic left-hand rack is applied as follows:

1. On a forward jump, simulates a left straight blow to the head, with the MT on the right leg.

2. Repeated push with the right leg and, simultaneously with a wide lunge with the left forward, the right hand moves the shortest path from top to bottom to the target. A sharp forward bend of the body contributes to an increase in the speed of the blow. In this case, the center of mass of the body is lowered to the support.

3. With a powerful push back with the forward leg, the athlete leaves the close combat distance.

Variant 2. Right straight blow to the body without an imitation movement of the left hand.

1. Preliminary displacement of MT to the right leg.

2. Powerful repulsion with the right leg with a lunge with the left and simultaneous extension of the hand to the target with the transfer of MT to the left leg. In this case, the CM of the trunk descends to the support.

3. Take-off with the left foot and exit from the distance.

Typical mistakes

• forward movement of the trunk ahead of arm movement

the center of mass (CM) of the body is too high

Rules for constructing shock combinations consisting of punches.

1. The best number of hits in a combination is three. Six hits is the maximum!
2. After hitting the body (no matter which one), immediately punch on the head. Direct hits with the front (jabs) and back (cross) hands are optimal for these combinations.
3. It is advantageous to start with two punches with the near hand and should never be done the other way around. After double strikes of the front one, you can already switch to strikes from the far hand. Do not forget the second point - always deal the very last blow in a combination only to the head.
4. Do not start a series with a side impact, especially with a swing, sweeping.
5. No need to hit a single straight line from the far hand.
6. A combination that starts in a straight line and turns into side, bottom and top strikes must end straight to the head.
7. It is a bad habit to wait until the opponent's combination is over in order to “charge” your own. Better to try to interrupt him at the very beginning, extinguishing the enemy attack in the bud.

5 nuances for delivering a competent direct blow from the back hand:
1. When striking, step with your front foot to the side, not straight.

3. The speed increases due to the maximum relaxation of the hand before the moment it touches the target.
4. Imagine that your blow is a battering ram. Throw in your entire body.
5. This blow (straight from the back hand) must not be the first in a combination.

5 nuances for applying clear lateral with the front hand
1. On the side, take a short step with your front foot towards the strike.
2. The shoulder of the striking arm covers the chin.
3. The speed increases due to the maximum relaxation of the hand before the moment it touches the target (for lateral this point is especially important).
4. Clearly hold the trajectory of movement (both in the mind and in reality). Twist your hips as you strike, transferring your body weight to your front leg. The foot of the forward foot also turns in the direction of the strike.
5. When performing a hook on a step, do not step on a full foot, put your foot on your toe and rotate on it. The front side without preparation is not the best start to the attack. Always in front of him you need a feint, showing that you will hit from the right or an easy quick straight from the far hand (without a powerful investment).

A side kick from the front to the head often comes after a two straight, starting with the front hand. He fights in this combination third, hitting the open lateral parts of the head, if the opponent defended himself from straight lines with supports. Experienced fighters on the second straight sit down noticeably in order to put the force of leg extension into a sweeping side blow with a hand.

When practicing any punches, one should strive to improve their speed. Therefore, you do not need to work at speed until your last gasp, you need to rest, otherwise endurance will grow instead of speed. And one more nuance: a quick return of the hand (pulling out) from a punched or evaded target is MANDATORY. Both in boxing and in karate, good coaches always teach that the return of a hand from a blow should be faster than its arrival there. For example, the notorious Nikolai Airborne Forces advises, when practicing punches on bags and paws, to punch on the hands of a beating person with a belt or rope during contact with a target. When "sticking" to the target, the batter will receive a safe, but unpleasant and rather painful, lash on the hand. I myself constantly do this exercise: I straighten my hand into the strike position at the moment of contact with the target slowly, and I return as quickly as possible, trying my best to rip my hand off as quickly as possible. By the way, this practice is also very useful for Mawashi Geri. The blow becomes impulsive and it is difficult to get out of it to capture the leg.

But what is the point of even a series of crosses and hooks, if none of them is accented and capable of leading to a knockout? How to put in a really serious hand striking technique? The answer is simple. This projectile staging of a heavy and at the same time fast blow, as well as the strength of your blows, will add complete confidence that, when hit, it will break where your fist hits, and not at all your wrist or finger joints. A strong, rigid, confidently clenched fist is what many dream of. Stop dreaming. It's time to start developing it. For example, using the course "How to Forge an Iron Fist" (there are no analogues anyway!). Here I described my view of this video course.

The secrets of punching for a beginner are very often in simple things that are laughable: a tightly clenched fist upon impact, the correct phases of tension relaxation (hence the speed), the connection of the movement learned from the place with a step (!!). When all this is anchored as it should, then the blow becomes "native" and, accordingly, effective

DIRECT HITS IN BOXING

The most common in boxing are straight punches. They are relatively simple, fast, accurate, and effective.

Direct attacks are primarily intended for long and medium range attacks, but can be used in close combat as well. Along with this, direct strikes are also used as counterattacks, connecting with all types of defense, as well as in order to stop enemy attacks and maintain a long or medium distance.

The boxer, who builds his tactics on actions from a long distance, mainly uses direct punches, combined with fast movements. This allows him to keep the fight initiative in his hands and gain a large number of points during the competition.

They begin to teach boxing with direct strikes, as they give organization to the fighting and help a novice boxer to better master the technique of fighting at a long distance.

Direct left blow to the head (fig. 17). This blow is used in combat especially often, since the path of the left hand in it is the shortest, which allows it to be applied quickly and accurately.

Long A direct blow with the left is used mainly at a long distance for various tactical purposes: it can start a fight before an attack, hold a long distance, stop the enemy's attacks, fill in the pauses in the battle, thus keeping the initiative in their hands. An experienced boxer can disorient the most judicious opponent, bothering him with numerous and accurate repeated direct punches.

By striking a long straight left blow to the head, a boxer is less likely to receive a counter blow, since his body is separated from the opponent and is relatively safe from short counter blows, and turning the body to the right to a certain extent protects the boxer from counter blows by the opponent's right hand.

The blow is delivered from a long distance directly from the combat stance. Before the blow, the weight of the body is evenly distributed on both legs or slightly shifted to the right. With a push of the right leg, the boxer sends the body forward towards the opponent, and with the left one makes a "sliding" step forward. Thus, the body moves forward, and the push with the right leg makes this movement even more impetuous.

The boxer sharply brings the left hand, directed before the blow to the opponent, forward, with his fist to the target, combining the left blow with a fast rotational movement of the body from left to right and forward, which increases the power of the blow. At the last moment of the blow, the sharpness of it is further enhanced by the final jerk of the beating hand.

The fist, when it touches the target, should be turned with the fingers half-turned down, the forearm takes a position midway between pronation and supination. This position of the forearm is required only during initial training, since in the future fight in the ring it can change depending on the fighting situation and the boxer's skill. Can be used with a straight punch with the left fist facing the fingers way down or to the right , which is equally natural and convenient.

The left hand should touch the target at the moment when the body weight is transferred to the left leg, stopping further forward movement (falling) of the body. This position of the body at the end of the impact, supported by the forefoot, provides the impact with the greatest range and helps to maintain balance in the event of a miss. With fast single attacking strikes from a long distance, there may be cases where the fist will touch the target before the forward leg gains support.

After the push, the right leg at the moment of impact is somewhat pulled up to the left to the distance necessary for balance.

This achieves stability both at the moment of impact and after it.

The right hand at the moment of impact protects the chin with an open palm, and the body with a lowered elbow. In addition, you should cover your chin and left shoulder. Such insurance (protection) against counter-attacking oncoming blows must be organically combined with any other attacking blows in order to ensure the safety of the boxer striking the blow.

Direct left blow to the torso (fig. 18). This blow is applied with the body tilted forward and to the right, thereby protecting the head from unexpected oncoming attacks of the enemy. A direct left blow to the body can be used as the first blow in an attack, as a false blow, revealing the defense of the opponent's head, and as a counter blow.

When attacking with this blow, the boxer makes a "sliding" step with his left foot forward, intensifying the movement with a push with his right foot.

The left fist, turned with the fingers downward, at the moment of tilting the body, is sharply brought forward to the target. The head is tilted forward for protection, the chin rests on the left shoulder. The right hand is at the head, open with the palm of the hand, complementing the defense; yet she is ready to strike.

At the end of the blow (as with all other blows), it is necessary to maintain stability. With the left (pivot) leg, with the heel turned outward (to the left), a further fall of the body forward in the event of a miss is delayed. When hitting, the right leg is pulled to the left so much as to keep the body in balance, which is mandatory after any movement of the boxer. If a boxer does not follow this, then, having missed, he will "reach" for the blow and lose his balance.

Leaning firmly with his left foot on the floor after hitting, as well as in case of a miss, the boxer must instantly relax the muscles of the striking arm and the entire shoulder girdle, using the right leg as a "counterweight", which will "dampen" the gained speed and keep the body in balance.

Direct right kick to the head (fig. 19). This punch is one of the most powerful, as it uses a large twist of the torso, combined with a push with the right leg. The right hand, located in the back of the left fighting stance, is in a comfortable starting position for striking. At the same time, the fist of the right hand, distant from the target, travels a rather long way, and it is easy for the enemy to defend himself even from a quick blow. Attacking with this blow without preparation is impractical.

In order for the blow to successfully reach the target, false blows with the left hand are first made, revealing the opponent's Defense and helping to choose the moment to attack with the right hand.

The blow with a step forward begins with a push of the right leg commensurate with the distance, sending the body forward, while rotating the body from right to left. They make a "sliding" step towards the opponent with their left foot and place it at such a distance from which this blow can be delivered without a step.

The right hand from the starting position (with a hand under the chin and a lowered elbow at the right side) is sharply brought forward with a fist in a straight line to the target (without a preliminary swing) simultaneously with the movement of the body.

After the push, the right leg is pulled to the left to the required distance to maintain balance, or left behind, relaxing its muscles.

Insurance from oncoming blows are carried out by protecting the head with the palm of the left hand and the body - with a lowered elbow.

It is dangerous to linger in the final position of the blow, since the body remains open and the opponent can retaliate with his right hand. After a blow, and especially after a miss, the boxer tries to quickly return to a fighting stance or, when possible, strike the next blow with his left hand, for which the left leg can be used as a jerk. In the case when it is possible to pursue the opponent, the right leg is placed on the same line with the left or slightly behind, depending on the distance from which it is convenient to strike with both hands.

Direct right blow to the torso (fig. 20). A direct blow to the body with the right is used: as an attacker after preparatory movements with the left hand; as a second blow after a direct left blow to the head; as a counter or retaliatory strike, combined with protection; as one of the attacks of a series to develop an attack or counterattack.

In attack, this blow is applied, like a blow to the head, but with a large tilt of the body.

Vigorously straightening the right leg, transfer the whole body weight to the left leg, striding forward and to the left. The body, leaning forward-left and rotating from right to left, comes at the moment of impact in a half-turn position to the enemy. The fist at the moment of touching the target is turned with the fingers to the left and down.

The torso tilt with a turn from right to left and the forward movement of the fist occur simultaneously.

At the moment of impact, the left leg is bent at the knee joint and rests on the floor with the front of the foot. This is necessary so as not to lose balance in the event of a miss, if the enemy moves back.

In contrast to a direct left kick to the torso (usually used as a false kick), a direct right kick to the torso is one of the strongest.

After hitting the right in the torso (as well as hitting to the head), you can develop an attack with a blow with the left hand with a push with the left leg.

Insure from the oncoming blow, you need to be especially careful, since turning the body to the left opens up the parts of the body that are vulnerable to the enemy's right hand blow. Therefore, you need to cover the left side of the head with the palm, and the body with the lowered elbow of the left hand.

In the event of a miss, the boxer, in order to protect himself from a possible counterattacking blow by the opponent, must first of all group into a defensive stance in the direction of the opponent.

BOTTOM PUNCHES IN BOXING

Bottom punches, like other boxing punches, can be long and very short, that is, they can be delivered with an almost straightened and strongly bent hand.

Long punches in the torso are usually used when the opponent holds his hands high in a stance or, striking the head, misses. Long blows to the head, on the contrary, are applied at moments when the opponent is kept in a collected low stance.

Short blows from below are applied with a hand bent at the elbow. It is more convenient to use them in close-range combat; they can be applied with any hand both to the head and to the torso. You can successfully use them as counterattacks, combining them with protection from attacking attacks of the enemy. Short blows from below should never start an attack if the opponent is in a straightened stance. These strikes are too “short”, and they can always be outstripped by an oncoming direct strike.

In an attack, a short blow from below can be used only when the enemy is leaning forward. In all other cases, it is dangerous to attack with this blow.

A short blow from below gains strength from a sharp straightening of the body with a simultaneous rotation of the body, which causes the beating hand to move forward towards the target. At the moment of touching the target with this hand, a short dash is made in order to increase the sharpness and power of the blow.

With a single blow from below, you should cover your head and body with your free hand from possible counter-attacks of the enemy.

Bottom left blow to the head (fig. 21). This blow is used when the opponent is leaning forward. The body position of a boxer striking a short blow from below can be lateral or frontal. The long blow is delivered only from the side stand.

Long a blow is used in cases where they want to force the enemy to straighten up in order to attack him. In this case, the boxer strikes with an almost straight arm, holding his fist with his nails down. In order for the fist to touch the target with the heads of the metacarpal bones, it is slightly retracted upward, bending the arm at the wrist joint.

For short impact from the bottom from the side stand without a step or with a small step forward, the body weight is transferred forward onto the left leg. At the moment of impact, the body is sharply turned to the right and at the same time unbend. The beating hand, bent at the elbow at an acute angle, is shortly and quickly directed from the bottom up (the forearm is directed in a straight line to the target). The fist, facing the boxer with the fingers, touches the target with the heads of the metacarpal bones. The chin is covered with the open right palm, and the right side of the body is covered with the elbow.

From straight stance, a short blow from the bottom left to the head can be applied by shifting the body weight to both the left and right legs and combining the movement of the arm with approximately the same movement of the trunk as in the lateral stance. By striking a counter or retaliatory blow in combination with retreating or leaning back, body weight can be transferred to the right leg along with backward movement of the body (without a step or with a step back). This is done in cases where the attacking opponent comes close to the boxer very close and the distance for the counterstrike is insufficient.

Simultaneously with the push with the left leg, which transfers the weight of the body to the right leg, the boxer rotates the body from left to right and, straightening, intensifies the blow.

A blow from the bottom left in the body (fig. 22). Unlike other blows from below, this blow (both long and short) is quite applicable in attacks from long and medium distances, since it easily reaches the target. The opponent's right hand, usually covering the torso, can be easily removed by a false blow to the head with the left, after which the left hand, changing direction, quickly strikes from below in the torso.

A blow from the bottom left in the body differs from the same blow to the head only in the direction of the hitting hand (along an inclined line to the target) and its position, which changes depending on the length of the blow. At long the blow, the arm is bent at the elbow at an obtuse angle, the fist is turned with the nails to the right. At short blow, the arm is bent at the elbow at a smaller angle, the fist is held with the nails up. All other body movements are similar to those of a blow to the head.

A blow from below with the left in the body in close combat is applied at the moment when the opponent's right hand does not block the path to the target.

The punching speed develops as the fist approaches the target. The blow ends with a sharp jerk produced by the efforts of the muscles of the back, abdomen, legs and the beating hand. During the strike, the entire body of the attacker should not unduly strain.

Bottom right blow to the head (fig. 23). This blow is applied when the opponent is standing directly in relation to the boxer and his left hand does not block the path of the blow to the target. The opponent usually assumes this position with his own right kick to the boxer's head or torso. In this case, a retaliatory blow from below with the right to the head, connected by the boxer with a backward defense or with another type of defense, will be most effective.

In an attack, this blow is applicable only when the opponent bends forward. During the impact, body weight is transferred to the left leg.

The success of the attack with a blow from below with the right hand is facilitated by preparatory false blows with the left, revealing the opponent's defense.

In combat, a short blow from below with the right is usually struck without a step or with a step forward.

To strike without a step forward, the legs are unbend, and the body is rotated from right to left; the right shoulder is pushed forward, the forearm is directed upward, the fist is turned with the fingers towards itself. They protect with the left hand: with an open palm - the head, and with a lowered elbow - the left side of the body.

A blow from the bottom with the right one with a step forward begins with a push with the right foot, transferring the body weight to the striding left leg. After that, the right leg is somewhat pulled up to the left or left behind. The movements of the torso and arms are the same as in the strike performed on the spot.

For a punch in place, body weight can be transferred to the right leg by turning the torso to the left. Pushing with the left leg helps to turn the body to the left. Turning around the supporting leg at the moment when the body weight is transferred to this leg and it straightens, the whole body is sharply fed upward, increasing the impact.

Lower right blow to the torso (fig. 24). With the left-sided stance of the enemy, this blow is quite difficult to apply, since the left hand of the opponent, standing in a fighting stance, blocks the path to the target. It is possible to strike when the opponent raises his left hand. But even at this moment, you should be careful not to meet the opponent's left elbow on the way and not to damage your hand.

If the opponent is straightened, his body is more open for a blow, a blow to the body is directed along an inclined line from bottom to top; it can be applied by transferring body weight to both the left and right legs, both on the spot and in increments. The movement of the torso and legs in this punch is similar to that of a punch to the head.

SIDE IMPACTS IN BOXING

Side kicks get their name from the direction of the hitting hand striking the target from the side. In terms of their technical structure, they are very diverse, and primarily differ in length. It is possible to strike from the side with the hand strongly bent at the elbow and more straightened.

Long side impacts are applied from long and medium distances. From a long distance, they are used in cases where the boxer avoids close contact with the opponent or has the goal of revealing the opponent's defense before an attack, and then developing it at a medium or short distance. Long side blows are delivered with an almost extended hand, striking the target with the usual fist point, with the fingers turned outward.

Short side punches in terms of their effectiveness occupy one of the first places among all the main boxing punches. They are applied with the arm bent at the elbow, followed by some extension of the arm, which increases the sharpness and power of the blow.

In this blow, the path of the beating hand is short, which is its advantage over a long blow, which, passing a rather long way, is more noticeable to the enemy. The reduced range of motion and rapid contraction of the muscles in the anterior surface of the shoulder girdle and oblique abdominal muscles make the short hit fast and sharp.

Basically, short side blows develop attacks and counterattacks at close range. The blows are applied, alternating them together at a variety of angles; build these punches using an incomplete shift of body weight from leg to leg, combined with small turns of the trunk.

Short side kicks can be used to attack from long and medium distances, but in this case the boxer should take a quick step to get closer to the opponent.

To effectively use short side punches in the development of an attack or counterattack, you need to learn how to deliver them, moving in all directions of the ring.

Left side kick to the head (fig. 25). A side blow to the head with the left is successfully used by boxers who are free to use the left hand. Close to the enemy (in a side stance), the left hand makes a shorter path to the target than the right, which makes it possible to strike quickly and accurately with it. Since the blow is directed directly towards the target on the front of the head or torso, it is difficult for the enemy to defend against it. All this increases the effectiveness of the blow, especially the short one.

Side punches (both long and short) with the left hand to the head with a step forward with the left leg are used more as attacking punches. Very often a boxer starts an attack with them. A side blow can also be used as a false one in order to reveal the enemy's defense before starting an attack.

Long Left side kick in modern boxing is one of the most popular. It is applied from a fighting stance with an almost unbent hand. The initial movement for a blow is started with the right foot, transferring the body weight with a push to the striding left leg; at the same time with the left hand, slightly lowering it, they make an arcuate movement, starting from the bottom up and further horizontally to the goal itself. This fighting movement of the arm is facilitated by turning the torso to the right. The blow is fixed on the target with the usual place of the fist turned outward with the fingers. The right hand is left to belay the head, protecting it with an open palm from the opponent's oncoming blows.

Before the attack short with a side blow, you need to use distracting actions to reveal the protection of the enemy's head and choose a convenient moment for the strike.

The movement in attack with this blow begins with a push of the right leg, sending the body forward simultaneously with a step with the left leg. With the left hand, bent at the elbow, without swinging, simultaneously with the rotation of the body to the right, they begin a semicircular movement from the bottom up and further horizontally to the target. The fist is turned with the nails down towards you. At the moment of the blow, the attacking boxer rests with the front of the foot on the floor so as not to lose balance, while protecting his head from oncoming blows with the palm of his right hand.

To perform a side impact with a step forward with the left foot, they take a small step to the left, after which they step forward with the right leg, onto which the body weight is transferred. The body is turned sharply, and with the beating left hand, simultaneously with the general movement of the body, they make a semicircular movement, striking a long or short blow from the side.

After that, quickly rearranging his legs, the boxer again takes the position of a fighting stance.

Left side kick in the trunk (fig. 26). Lateral blows with the left in the trunk are applied in the attack in the same ways as in the head, but the body is tilted a little more for a blow in the trunk; the legs bend, change the direction of the beating hand. A more collected position of the body allows you to bring the striking hand closer to the target and give it greater sharpness at the moment of impact.

This blow is used for various purposes. They can directly launch an attack; use in a counterattack as a counter or retaliatory strike, combining it with various types of protection; tie up a fight, revealing the enemy's defense before hitting the head. For deception, for example, long side blows are successfully used.

From the moment of application of the defense, with which the blow is combined during the counterattack, it depends whether it will be counter or retaliatory.

Right side kick to the head (fig. 27). This blow rarely starts an attack. It usually follows a blow (false or real) with the left hand, which reveals the opponent's defense and prepares a blow with the right hand.

The left-sided position of the opponent's body in a fighting stance naturally protects his chin from a blow from the side. To reveal the enemy's defense, false blows with the left in the torso are used, forcing the opponent to defend the torso and thereby open the head.

As a false (distracting) blow, a straight or lateral left in the body can be used.

Most commonly used in attack short side impact. Attacking with them, the boxer makes a swift step with his left foot towards the opponent (somewhat to the left). The speed of movement of the body towards the target is initially developed by pushing the right leg and then increased by turning the body from right to left. At the same time, the right hand, somewhat reduced to the body and clenched into a fist (facing with the fingers half-turned down to the body), is directed along an arc from the bottom up and further horizontally to the target. Protect with the left hand: the chin with the palm, the stomach with the elbow. This protection at the time of the attack is used to hedge against oncoming strikes. After the push, the right leg is pulled to the left or left behind. At the moment of impact, the left leg rests with the front of the foot on the floor, which restrains the forward movement of the body.

Attack long side blow with the right is difficult. The right hand is forced to make a long way to the target to strike, and its somewhat sweeping movement is noticeable to the enemy.

This blow is possible only if it is carefully prepared, if the opponent's defense is revealed by preliminary false movements with the left hand.

To prevent the blow from hitting the forbidden back of the head of the opponent, who is standing in the left side forward, the movement of the body during the blow should go diagonally to the left. The right hand is slightly retracted to the right, then, bent at the elbow at an obtuse angle, it is sharply directed to the target in an arc from right to left; the fist, turned with the fingers outward, touches the target with the heads of the metacarpal bones.

The movement of a short lateral counterstrike with the right to the head always obeys the defense (insurance) with which it is combined. For example, in those cases when the opponent, attacking, approached almost closely, the boxer for a strike (oncoming, connected with a deflection) transfers his body weight back to his right leg, thus maintaining the necessary distance to the opponent. At the same time, he turns the body from right to left, leaning on the right leg, and leaves the left in front of the forefoot. At the same time, he protects the chin with his palm, and the torso with the lowered elbow of his left hand.

Right side kick in the trunk (fig. 28). This blow is not an attacker. If the opponent is in a left-handed stance, it is difficult to execute.

By applying long strike from a long or medium distance, it is easy to injure the beating hand on the elbow of the opponent's left hand. A long side blow with the right to the body as an attacker can only be applied in a fight with a left-handed opponent who is fighting in a right-sided stance. But short a right-handed side kick in the body is used not only against a left-hander, but also as a counter-punch in cases where a right-handed opponent turns out to be standing straight or with his right side to a boxer after an unsuccessful attempt to attack with his right hand to the head.

In all cases, a side kick in the body with the right should be especially carefully directed to the target. To strike the front or side of the opponent's torso, the movement of the body should be directed to the left and forward.

The blow is applied from the assembled stand, which protects the boxer from oncoming blows to the head. The body weight is transferred to the left leg, which before this is made a small "sliding" step to the left and forward. The body is rotated to the left along an inclined axis, giving the necessary sharpness to the beating hand, bent at the elbow joint and directed in an arcuate manner towards the target. The fist touches the target with the heads of the metacarpal bones; at the moment of impact, he is turned with his fingers downward towards himself.

After the blow, returning to the fighting stance, the boxer must maintain a protective body position in order to protect himself from the opponent's counterattack.

The most powerful shot in boxing is the right straight. He makes his way, as a rule, as part of the series, after the left. If you are fighting left-handed, start and end with your right hand. The technique of applying the right straight is included in the compulsory program for studying boxing techniques.

Striking technique

The right straight starts with a lightning movement of the fist from the head, while the right leg is slightly turned outward along with the rotation of the pelvis. This gives the body a twisting motion. The blow ends with the transfer of the center of mass from the right hind leg to the left.

Thus, the right straight line consists of several movements:

· The left leg strides towards the opponent while shifting the body weight onto it.

· Turning the torso.

· Straightening the arm to execute the blow.

When punching a blow, pay maximum attention to the correct redistribution of weight so that, as they say, you do not fall over when you miss. By analogy with the jab, the right straight can be pushed with a step forward / backward and without a step, but in any case, practicing the technique is extremely important.

How to strengthen a right straight punch?

To make the right line more powerful, you can use the following tips:

· Bend your knees slightly before hitting, their extension will give the right straight extra power.

Do not lift your elbow off your body before striking, otherwise your liver will be targeted, and it will also reduce power. Do not make unnecessary movements, such as swinging your hand. If the elbow faces the floor during the impact, this will allow you to use the muscle strength to its fullest.

· If, instead of turning the jogging leg, stand on its toe, it will noticeably increase the force of the impact, since it will ensure optimal redistribution of mass, and you will be able to put all your body weight into the blow without falling through.

How to hone your punch?

It is easy to quickly and correctly work out a straight right kick if you follow the recommendations:

· The blow is concentrated on the two front knuckles, closed in a fist. Failure to pay proper attention to this can result in injury.

· At the moment of impact, the wrist should be straightened; when deflected, the impact force is lost.

· Hit with emphasis. Follow each blow to the end. Don't pull your hand away trying to get everything faster. The speed of the strike will not increase from this, but the strength and aiming will decrease significantly.

It is recommended to practice a straight right kick on the paws with a mentor. This will allow you to adjust the direction, angle and strength of the impact. Bag work is also useful, but it is more recommended for independent training and as an additional exercise.

As soon as you come to you, they immediately begin to teach beats. And the first in this series is a direct hit. It is the fastest, but the longest. To apply it, the arm simply unbends at the elbow, the body and pelvis rotate, and the weight of the body is transferred from one leg to the other. Thus, a powerful lever is created and the hand flies out in a direct blow.

Direct hit name

Everything in boxing has its own "English" or native (England - the birthplace of boxing) name. Direct blows are called the front hand - "Jeb", the strongest hand (Most often the right hand) - "Cross", but in Russia they are rarely called that. More often we can meet and hear the name - Left straight or right straight.

Direct punch in boxing - video

Video materials are (of course, after real training) the most useful, because few people can understand how to move correctly according to a picture or inscriptions. Therefore, we offer you a training video, where one of our boxers demonstrates how to properly deliver direct punches in boxing (on the video).
