http://www.myboxingcoach.com - This latest video in the 90 Second Boxing Tips series is quite simple and straightforward. I am going to give you an overview of the the most technically and physically challenging punch that a boxer throws - the uppercut. The uppercut is all about splitting the guard of the opponent, attacking the centre line. In order to attack the centre line the shot needs to land with the forearm on the vertical plain. To enable you land the shot with a perfectly vertical forearm, focus on the following: When initiating the shot, do so from the foot - the rear foot for the back hand and the front foot for the lead hand. Generate an explosive thrust from that foot and perform a variation on the rotation of the hips. In effect the hips rotate and drive upwards towards the end of the rotation. This will allow the vertical alignment of the forearm. If you under-rotate then the you will end up with neither a hook nor an uppercut. A little tip when using the uppercut to the body. Aim for the solar plexus (just below the sternum). In order to deliver that shot, make sure your elbow (of the throwing arm) scrapes your ribs as it goes. Also, drop your knees slightly to reduce the risk of taking incoming shots (your punching hand will be away from the guard position for less time). As always, comments and questions welcome
