Types of Punches

1. Jab - Just a quick punch while the fighter is on the guard position. This is important because it gives 50% offense and leaves 50% defense.
2. Cross - A strong and powerful full punch that runs in a straight line towards the opponent. The hand usually swings from the chin and the body twists forward to pick up more power.
3. Hook - A quick but powerful semi-circular punch that goes horizontally targeting the side area of the opponent. The upper body usually twists to give more power.
4. Uppercut - An arc shape punch that rises upwards to hit the opponent's chin or body.
