The Uppercut Advantage

The uppercut is perfect for close-range exchanges. It can lift an opponent’s guard, land under the chin, or attack the body.

How to Throw It

  1. Bend knees slightly for power.

  2. Drive up with legs and torso.

  3. Keep elbow bent and tight.

  4. Aim for the chin or solar plexus.

When to Use It

  • After slipping a jab.

  • Inside clinches and close-range fighting.

  • To set up combos (uppercut-hook-cross).
