<\/p>\n

It’s a simple four punch set, but.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Jab.<\/li>\n
  2. Cross.<\/li>\n
  3. Rear uppercut.<\/li>\n
  4. Front hook.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A proper sequence, especially for training, would be jab-cross-front hook-uppercut. You want strikes to alternate sides so you can twist your hips. In a sparring situation, you might want to go same side consecutively to maybe catch your opponent off guard, but for training purposes, alternate sides.<\/p>\n

    Oh, look who thinks he’s a punchin’ expert now. I am just back from Wisconsin, gentle reader, so you should read that line in Frances McDormand’s voice and Fargo<\/em> accent because that’s a little like what I sound when talking right now.<\/p>\n

    At any rate, I have seen the image without text on Pinterest<\/a> where it’s explanations of individual punches, not<\/em> a punch combination. Apparently, someone who does not know any martial art, including boxing, replaced the text with something amusing but that implies a sequence. Still. It’s wrong as a combo. But I guess the person who made the meme, should he (c’mon, man, it’s punching humor, so it’s a he) be able to write complete sentences (or maybe not in 2022), he is primed for men’s adventure fiction, where rudimentary understanding of anatomy, guns and light arms, physics, and martial arts is not only tolerated, but rewarded!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
