In boxing, every fighter—whether a heavyweight slugger or a slick lightweight technician—relies on one fundamental weapon: the jab. It’s the most basic punch in the sport, yet it’s also the most effective. The jab is far more than a simple lead hand strike; it’s a tool for control, setup, defense, and rhythm. When used properly, it can dominate a fight without ever needing a knockout blow.
