Boxing Left Uppercut
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.
Bring your left fist up to your chin as you pivot your left foot on the ball and rotate your hips.
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.
Common Mistakes
Overextending the arm which may strain the shoulder.
Not rotating the hips, which decreases power.
Focusing too much on speed rather than form.
Modifications
Perform with a lighter resistance band for support.
Limit the range of motion if shoulder mobility is restricted.
Tips
Keep your knees slightly bent for stability.
Engage your core during the movement.
Aim for a controlled movement rather than speed to maintain form.
