The jab is a very basic move of kickboxing and will set you up for the rest of the moves. It should be done with balance and control.
Stand in the front fighting stance.
Punch the arm out straight in front of you.
Keep the elbow tucked in close to the body for increased power and decreased risk of rotational injury.
Punch through the target for maximum power in the jab.
Balance is key. Do not lean forward, drop or raise your shoulder, or arch your back.
