Uppercut Bag Rounds
Why This Matters for Boxing
Nothing but uppercuts — focus on driving up from the legs. By isolating the uppercut, you build the specific motor pattern and endurance for this punch without the crutch of mixing in jabs and hooks.
How To Do It
- 1Stand close to the bag in your fighting stance.
- 2Throw continuous uppercuts — alternating lead and rear.
- 3Every uppercut starts with a knee bend.
- 4Drive upward from your legs, not just your arms.
- 5Keep your elbows tight to your body.
