Boxing Cross

Take a staggered stance in front of the bag and hold your hands near your face in guard.

Pivot your rear foot and hips together as you extend the rear fist straight toward the bag.

Return your fist directly beside your face and regain balance through your stance.

Sustained movement trains cardiorespiratory endurance. Use a pace that lets you maintain your technique and breathing.

Avoid overreaching with only your arm or dropping your hand after the strike.

Exhale briefly with the punch and breathe in naturally in guard.

Avoid locking your elbow and return directly to guard after each strike.
