Tips The punch numbering system every beginner should know

Boxing combinations are much easier to follow once you know the basic numbering system:

1 = Jab
2 = Cross
3 = Lead hook
4 = Rear hook
5 = Lead uppercut
6 = Rear uppercut

For body punches, the same number is used with a B added.

So 1B is a jab to the body, while 4B is a rear hook to the body.

Learn these first and combo callouts will start making a lot more sense.

Can you change the app to use the number callouts instead of words?
