How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Stand in a balanced boxing stance with the knees soft, chin tucked, and both hands protecting the face.
  2. 02Snap the lead hand straight toward the target for the jab, turning the fist over near full extension.
  3. 03Retract the jab immediately to guard as you rotate the rear hip and shoulder forward for the cross.
  4. 04Extend the rear hand straight without locking the elbow, then return it quickly to the face.
  5. 05Continue the jab-cross combination with controlled speed, stable footwork, and the non-punching hand guarding the head.
