How to: Left Uppercut. Boxing
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent.
- Position your feet in a boxing stance, with your left foot slightly forward.

- Throw the uppercut by moving your left fist upward, finishing with your fist above your shoulder.
- Lower your hand back to the starting position and repeat.
