What is a "jab"?
A jab is a quick, straight punch thrown with the front hand, usually aimed at an opponent's face or upper body. It is one of the most basic and commonly used punches in boxing and other striking sports. The jab is typically thrown to create distance, set up other punches, or test the opponent's defense. It is often used to control the pace of a fight, as it can be fast and difficult for the opponent to avoid. The jab helps establish rhythm, measure distance, and can be a key tool in both offense and defense.
