To deliver the left jab, aim for the opponent's face and shoot the left straight out, leaning forward a few inches and letting your weight go to the left foot After the jab has landed, snap back into the on-guard position. The more rapier-like you can make that jab—a snap out and snap back sort of punch—the more effective it will be. A punching bag is an excellent target for left jab practice. you haven't one, rig up some other object on the end of a rope and Figure out a count for each motion and do the exercise in rhythm, coming back to on guard after each jab. practice jabbing at it.
