How to Perform a Kickboxing Cross Jab

One of the staples of the cardio kickboxing class is the jab cross. It is performed similarly to the jab, but across the body. It should be performed with full control and precision.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Stand in the front fighting stance.

2. Punch the arm out across the centerline of the body while twisting the hip forward.

3. Rotate the torso into the punch without disturbing the alignment of the knees or feet.

4. Push off the ground with the heel of your foot for more power.

5. Keep the elbow tucked in close to the body for increased power and decreased risk of rotational injury.

Tips & Warnings

• Balance is key. Do not lean forward, drop or raise your shoulder, or arch your back. Keeping the alignment of the knees and feet will decrease the risk of joint injury or twisting injury.
