Left Jab, Straight Right, Straight Left: Boxing on a Heavy Bag

Video Transcript

"Our next combination on the heavy bag is what's going to be generally referred to as the one-two-three. It's going to be a left-right-left. Okay? What we like to do here at Bantam Boxing is we like to try to use a more of a percentage of power and then throw each combination with a specific percentage of power. When you're throwing the one jab, you're only throwing one punch, so we try to throw 100% of our power, 100% of our power. Even though we're only hitting the target plus an inch, we're throwing 100% of our power. So as we throw the one-two, left-right, we're throwing 10% with the left and then we're smashing 90% with the right. That equals 100%. So when we're going to now throw the left-right-left, we're going to start with a 10% jab of our power, 100% speed all the time, 10% of our power. We're going to turn, and instead of it being a big, demanding 90% right hand this time while lifting the foot off the ground, we're going to leave our foot right on the ground, we're going to throw only 10% power with the right, reserving the rest of the power, 80%, for the big left hand that's going to follow for the old one-two-three. Okay? So as the right hand leaves the bag, we're going to continue on with a second left jab, straight through to the opponent. The right hand comes right back for the chin to protection. And then this is going to be 80% of our power for that third punch, okay? So we're going to have 10%, 10%, we're turning our body, that's what the right hand does. It doesn't mean to hurt somebody, it's meant to turn your body, deliver 10% of your power, save the other 80% for the third punch. Boom and then step back off. It's a little bit faster. We're going to go one, two, three, and then step back. Of course we're going to stop it with that short, choppy jab. One-two-three, okay? Left-right-left. One-two-three, and then step back. The old one-two-three."
