In this Muay Thai fundamentals lesson, Kru Jack demonstrates the correct mechanics of the jab. The jab is a straight lead-hand punch used to measure distance, disrupt rhythm, and set up combinations. Extend the punch directly from your guard with minimal telegraphing while maintaining balance and shoulder protection. The jab can be delivered lightly as a range-finder or with added extension and hip engagement for greater impact. Immediately retract the hand to guard position after contact to protect your face and maintain defensive structure. Focus on speed, precision, and efficient recovery to make the jab a reliable offensive and defensive tool.
