To throw a jab with proper footwork, maintain a shoulder-width stance and step forward while simultaneously punching, ensuring your hands and feet work together.
Here's a breakdown:
- Stance: Keep your feet shoulder-width apart at all times. (Reference: 0:30)
- Stepping: As you throw the jab, step forward with your lead foot. (Reference: 1:23)
- Coordination: The stepping motion and the punch should be synchronized; your hand and foot should move together. (Reference: 1:23)
- Avoid close feet: Do not bring your feet too close together. (Reference: 0:30)
By coordinating these movements, you can generate power and maintain balance while jabbing.
