The Boxing Stance

Every boxing coach in the existence of time says the same thing: TUCK YOUR ELBOWS IN.
When they demonstrate it, they put their elbows close in to their body, touching their ribs, and their arms almost perpendicular to the floor.
In your boxing stance, your knuckles should be facing the sky. Keep your hands level and your elbows tucked in to your sides. After you throw a punch, your hands should return to this guard position immediately for a strong defensive stance that keeps your head safe from an opponent's punches.

Basic Strikes

The Jab

Assume fighting stance with your fists in guard position. Extend your lead arm straight ahead, keeping your fist in line with its starting point. Return your fist quickly back to your face. The jab is meant to be more of a rapid movement than a powerful one, so keep this in mind as you practice.

The Cross

Assume the same fighting stance with fists in guard position. Rotate your body back to fighting stance and return your rear hand to guard position.

The Lead Hook

Start in your fighting stance with fists in guard position. Pivot on your lead leg while rotating your body to follow your fist. Your arm will remain bent at the elbow at a roughly 90-degree angle and your elbow should end up almost in front of your face as you follow-through.

The Upper Cut

Assume fighting stance with fists in guard position.

Boxing Defense

Slip

Slipping is a technique used in boxing that is similar to bobbing. It is considered one of the four basic defensive strategies, along with blocking, holding, and clinching. It is performed by moving the head to either side so that the opponent's punches "slip" by the boxer.

Duck

The Duck is when you drop your head straight down. When you do the Duck, you're using your legs and you're bringing your right knee to the ground.

Block

After getting out of the way of a punch, the easiest form of defense is to block. This is not the perfect defense because you will still absorb the blow from oncoming fists, but in a scenario where it's difficult to slip or roll - or if you're yet to master these techniques - it's a solid bet to protect yourself. Any punch can be blocked, but there is a different method depending on the kind of strike your opponent throws your way.
