The numbers 1 to 6 are a shorthand for the six core punches in boxing.

• The 1, your jab: a fast lead-hand shot that sets up the rest of the combination.
• 2 – the cross: a strong rear-hand shot driven across the body.
• 3 and 4 – the hooks: curved punches with your lead hand (3) and rear hand (4).
• 5 and 6 – the uppercuts: upward shots thrown from below the guard.

With a tutor, you learn the numbering alongside the footwork that powers it.

Several factors influence the price:

• Where you train: in-person sessions versus remote coaching.

Comparing several profiles helps you find the best value for your budget.

Teaching yourself boxing starts with mastering your stance, guard and footwork.

• Shadow boxing: throw slow combinations to build muscle memory.
• Bag work: use a punch bag to develop power and timing.
