Uppercut

The uppercut is probably the most commonly abandoned punch in boxing as well as the most incorrectly thrown punch in boxing. I imagine part of the reason for this is because there are few pieces of boxing equipment that are made for practicing uppercuts. The other reason is that the uppercut is only meant to be used in close and boxers are usually taught to fight from a distance. In the ring, fighters are more likely to use a more direct punch like the cross because it travels faster to the opponent. Using an uppercut can be a risk because it momentarily drops your guard and leaves you open to counterpunches while you wait for the uppercut to land. A proper uppercut punch is a short crisp punch that comes from a deadly angle with a lot of force and can knockout your opponent.
This is where all the power for your uppercut punch is being generated. Your hips generate power from the ground by ROTATING NOT JUMPING. You pivot your feet, pushing off the left calf for the left uppercut or off the right calf for the right uppercut. The foot that is not powering the uppercut will drop its heel to the ground. Your hips will rotate just as it would for any other punch spinning your whole body especially the hips and shoulders into the uppercut punch.
The hand is momentarily relaxed as you quickly lower it into the desired uppercut angle and the palm is turned upwards towards the sky. The arm release is timed perfectly into the rotation of your body and you throw the uppercut with a relaxed arm at your opponent, tightening the fist right at impact.
The uppercut punching fist tightens on impact and SHOULD LAND RIGHT AFTER THE HIPS ROTATE. Just like a hook, the left uppercut should land right as the right heel touches the ground; vice versa, the right uppercut will land as the left heel touches the ground (the left heel may already be grounded if the previous punch was only the jab.) Again, the uppercut should land right as the hips finish rotating.
superI like very much this article ! I have to admit uppercut is a letal weapon for advanced boxers ! Look at Lucian Bute for example ! I have the opportunity to meet him in a boxing gym in Bucharest !
Johnny just wanted to say thanks for this, I recently started boxing about 2 months ago and definitely the uppercut was the hardest basic punch for me to understand as well as execute. Your easy to understand step by step instructions have finally lifted the fog for me and i cant wait to bust it out during practice later this week, thanks!
Great article! With that said, It had never entered my mind to throw my uppercuts straighter as you mentioned above. Are there any pro fighters that have done this that I can observe to get a better visual Thanks, your articles have helpedme a ton!
If you don't have a speed buff item equipped such as Parkour, Sunshine in a bag, or Paul, please pay attention to your health and flee whenever it's low as the uppercut has a cooldown and is not spammable.
Whenever the user uses the Uppercut while having the Bossraid equipped, their blue particle will be replaced with a black and white mix, a new uppercutting sound and instead of jumping uppercut, the user slides for 20 studs long (the hitbox will broke if you have a bad connection) instead and deals 35 damage and can be used again if the target is still in midair to attack and deal 25 damage. With the new update, it is only possible to get this combo in VIP servers as Uppercut has been changed to a miscellaneous item.
As stated earlier, the user needs to touch the target and then use the weapon in order to deal damage, so With melee weapons with a great hitbox, or range like the Chaos sabers, you can knockback the player away from you making the uppercut a tough attack to use (that is if your ping is high, this strategy can be tough to do), ranged weapons like chicago can save your life (Moscow is not recommended to fight against uppercut as it reduces your speed when you are using it.)
The uppercut is a boxing-style movement that anyone can complete with or without resistance. If you add weight to the exercise, you are likely to build strength with the uppercut. When completed as part of a boxing workout, you'll gain cardiovascular and (some) strength benefits.
The uppercut involves several coordinated movements on both sides of the body. When one side is working, the other side remains in a \"prepared\" posture. Learn the movement slowly before adding speed or weight.
The technique can put opponents away, and it forces them to bring their guard downward, leaving them open to your looping punches. The lead uppercut can also be a mid-range tool. It often leads your opponent open to body shots at that range since most fighters prioritize protecting their chin from their punch (rightfully so).
The lead uppercut is most effective when set up with a punch or used in a combination. For example, you can set it up with a jab or cross. It also makes an excellent counter for straight punches. You simply slip towards your front leg, removing your head from the centerline, so the punch misses. You then follow up with a lead uppercut.
As with any other fighting technique, practice makes perfect, so you need to drill your uppercuts regularly to throw them effectively. Some of the most effective ways to improve your punching technique include:
Not being in a proper stance, which leaves your chin exposed, and overcommitting on your punches are two mistakes that create openings for uppercuts. Simply using a correct stance and keeping your techniques tight goes a long way in protecting you against uppercuts.
Ted Williams, the last .400 hitter, thought of the uppercut swing as perfect. However, many hitting coaches thought that swinging up was less than ideal, and for a long time have emphasized swinging down. But Statcast brings up a counterargument to this theory: the level swing can produce line drives, but cannot produce fly balls that result in home runs. No matter how hard you hit, a ground ball cannot be a home run.
However, starting in 2016, the strike zone started to become higher. Hence the two-seamers, sinkers, and cutters that used to be low strikes now were called balls. To this end, hitters started to elevate these low pitches using the uppercut swing. This perfectly coincides with the time in which the league home run and runs scored totals started to increase dramatically.
Pitchers now look at Statcast as well. Many major league organizations now ask their pitchers to throw more high fastballs to counteract the uppercut swing. Just as the ecosystem continues to adjust and evolve, baseball also continues to revolutionize, generation by generation.
The jab and rear straight become second nature to boxers and they are extremely useful, the hooks are their power shots, but the uppercut is very important as well as it is the most potent punch in close distance. So, even though it is more specialized than straights and hooks, you still need to learn how to throw an uppercut properly.
The lead uppercut may feel a bit weak and awkward at first, but it can be very powerful. Even more so than other punches, the power in the uppercut comes from the legs and the hips. The arm itself contributes very little to the overall force. Here is how to throw a lead uppercut:
The second role of the dip is that you move your head out of the centerline, ideally slipping a right straight from the opponent. There is merit in throwing the lead uppercut without any wind-up and set up only as a distraction move that leads to a stronger punch with the rear hand.
The rear uppercut is easier to throw because the body is already in a good position to throw it with power. The mechanics are very similar to that of the rear straight. However, the hand must first be lowered slightly to load up, while the straight starts ideally without any wind-up.
The rear uppercut is extremely powerful and can be utilized in a few different ways and distances. The basic motion I outlined is done at a close distance without the need to move. If you want to cover a bit of distance step with the front leg forward and out, opening the angle and loading the punch.
The rear uppercut to the solar plexus is deadly and can fold your opponent in two if timed right. The body uppercut is thrown with the same motion as the one to the head, but the hand is driving forwards, not upwards. Aim for the center of the stomach. The body uppercut is very quick and especially in close quarters can be very hard to react to.
The same instruction goes for the lead body uppercut as well. Be extra careful with the defense though, because your lead hand needs to come down to punch while you sit in a dangerous range, where you can get blasted with hooks and uppercuts to the head.
To train head uppercuts effectively you will need a special bag. There are a few models in most boxing gyms that are good for that. To work on the power of the uppercut you will need the rounded heavy bag.
Oftentimes beginner boxers overextend on the uppercut and continue the swing too high. This leaves you open for counter strikes as it takes more time to return the hand to defend. Overextending the uppercut may also come in the form that the punch is thrown from too far away and the arm is straightened which significantly decreases the power of the punch.
The uppercut requires you to lower the punching hand to gather power and this makes it risky. So, make sure to always keep the other hand close to the head and your chin tightly tucked. When uppercutting you are open to counters and punches thrown simultaneously with yours.
The rear uppercut is also the perfect weapon against shorter fighters who use a lot of head movement. If the opponent keeps his head very low it may be difficult for even hooks to land, but the uppercut can be very successful in these situations.
The rear uppercut is also a terrific counter strike and you can often see boxers like Floyd Mayweather and James Toney who use the shoulder roll defense to effectively counter rolled shots with a nice strong rear uppercut. 59ce067264
