Muscles 101: Tips From the Veteran Training Coach

After 10 minutes with one of our Personal Trainers or Coaches in Norwell,Ma and you will know that we specialize in muscle memory.

When you fire a powerful punch while training in Muay Thai kickboxing with one of our Veteran Training Coaches, your brain sends a signal down a nerve cell, telling certain muscle fibers in your arms, back, core, and legs to contract.

After a series of microscopic chemical reactions — you deliver the Knock Out blow. As you practice, your brain and muscles learn to communicate more efficiently and you become more coordinated.

Boxing 101: Tips From The Veteran Training Boxing & Muay Thai Coach

THE UPPERCUT:

Subtly shift your weight to the hip on the side of the rear leg. Dip that side’s shoulder as you crouch down a bit. Next, with the palm up and the arm bent 90 degrees, forcefully rotate toward the side of your lead leg and push off the ball of your back foot, driving the punch upward (aim for the chin of your imaginary opponent). On impact, your palm should face your chest.

THE HOOK:

Shift your weight toward the rear leg as you rotate forcefully to that side and pivot inward on the ball of your front foot. At the same time, whip the lead arm toward the target in an L shape (the elbow should be bent about 90 degrees). Turn your hips into the punch. You can angle your hand one of two ways: vertically, so your palm faces you on impact, or horizontally, so the palm faces the floor.

THE RIGHT CROSS:

Also called the “straight right hand” (if you’re right-handed), it starts from the face and follows an imaginary straight line directly into the target. Drive and pivot from the rear foot, rotating the hips forcefully as your body weight shifts toward the front foot. Extend your right arm toward the target, snapping your wrist downward. On impact, the palm is down and the knuckles up.

The Jab:

The jab is thrown with the lead hand. Begin with the knees slightly bent, feet staggered, chin down, and hands raised by the sides of your face (start from this basic fighting position before throwing any punch). Push off your back foot and snap the jab out quickly. The lead foot will slide forward slightly before impact. For maximum power, twist your arm in a corkscrew motion before landing.
