Punches

RingsideReady

Overhand

Take this slowly, stay balanced, and ask your coach when something feels unclear.

number

0

stance note

A rear-hand punch that travels over the top rather than straight down the middle.

weight transfer

A dip of the head and shoulders to one side, then a drive up and over from the back foot.

hand path

The hand loops above the opponent's lead arm and comes down toward the target, rather than travelling flat.

chin and guard

The lead hand stays high, and your head moves off centre as you throw — the movement is part of the defence.

common mistake

Throwing it from long range, where the loop gives everyone plenty of time to see it arriving.

one cue

Over the arm, not around it.
