One thing to remember about all the punches is that your are going to want to turn your hips and shoulders for every punch except the jab. Also, you are going to want to put a lot of power into every punch. The power for all punches comes from your back(dominant) leg. So make sure to keep this planted when you throw your punches.
Left Jab:This is just a quick punch to the opponent's head that is used to stun more than knock-out.
Left Straight:This is a left straight punch to the head of your opponent. This punch should be thrown with knockout power.
Right Straight:This is a right straight punch to the head of your opponent. This punch should be thrown with knockout power.
Left Hook:To throw this punch, you start your left hand by your chin area. You then move your fist out to the left of your body, then back right again towards your opponents head. It is called a hook because the motion of the punch is like a semi-circle or hook towards your opponents head.
Right Hook:Same as the left hook but opposite.
Upper Cut:For this punch, you want to drop your body down 6-12 inches then bring a punch to the opponent's chin. This should be a quick, powerful punch and should not be a big looping punch that starts from your hip.
Liver Shot:This is a left hook to the opponent's liver stomach area. It helps if you drop your body a bit to throw this punch.
Left and Right Straights to the body:These are the same as the left and right straights except that they are directed towards the midsection of your opponent.
