Step 1
Assume the fighter's stance, balancing the weight on both feet. Keep you arms in the guard position and your chin tucked down. Raise the left elbow into a horizontal position with your hand close to your shoulder. Don't make a fist, because it will tighten the muscles and decrease the speed of the strike.
-
Step 2
Snap the left shoulder forward with the left elbow leading. As the elbow hits the target, snap the elbow back. Retract the arm and return to the fighter's stance.
-
Step 3
Prepare for the jab by stepping forward with the right foot. Extend the right arm and form a fist with the lead hand, rotating the knuckles so the palm faces the floor. Snap the fist out toward the target, leaving the elbow slightly bent.
-
Step 4
Quickly recoil the arm and resume the fighter's stance. Get ready for the cross. Shift the left side of the body forward. Extend the left arm, pivot on the ball of the rear foot and drive the weight from the rear leg to the front leg.

Step 5
Rotate the left shoulder forward. Snap the left fist out toward the target in a horizontal motion, leaving a slight bend in the elbow. Quickly recoil the arm and resume the fighter's stance.
