Kickboxing: The Cross, Hook, And Uppercut: From Initiation To Knockout: Everything You Need To Know (and more) To Master…

Description

If you have learned the jab and its significance as the most basic, yet perhaps also the most versatile kickboxing technique, and practiced quite a few how you can use the jab for speed, set-up, and power, it doesn’t surprise me if your next question is: “When do I get to knock’em out?” A strike’s knockout capability is not necessarily decided only by its power. Other factors, such as accuracy, choosing the most efficient target, and timing are at least equally important. But power alone, even supposing it doesn’t result in a knockout, will certainly help get your opponent’s attention. This brief book explores the three commonly used power strikes: the rear cross, hook, and uppercut. It includes discussions and training exercises on long and short range fighting, closing distance and gapping as appropriate, and the usage of broken rhythm and sensory overload for opening up targets for the knockout. Kickboxing: From Initiation To Knockout comprises a series of short books with focus on learning specific techniques and strategies for the exciting sport of competition kickboxing. With numerous pictures, each book breaks the material down into bite-size pieces that permit you to practice to perfection. The material in this book up to now appeared in Complete Kickboxing, now out of print, and is great for straight boxing, too.
