This is session 5 of my Absolute Beginners Boxing Basics Series where we focus on how to perform the basic 'rear straight' punch, also known as a 'cross', or a 'rear cross'. The rear straight is a very effective straight punch and with the right technique can deliver some serious power. This video is a coaching tool that will teach anyone how to throw the rear straight punch effectively from the basic boxing stance. This video teaches how to initiate the power transition from the legs to create the kinetic chain to perform an effective rear straight punch. As a coaching tool, this video breaks the movement down into stages, then allows the viewer to replicate the punch with @Trainerdanhayward at various reduced paces to help develop an awareness and feel for how the weight transition works through the rear straight punch. This video is structured to allow the participant to perform the punch at a reduced pace shadowing @Trainerdanhayward movements. Training at reduced paces enhances and accelerates the body's ability to create neural pathways, helping the participant to begin to develop muscle memory before then progressing on to fast punch paces as well as emphasising activating the muscles involved in producing the movement. This 'Rear straight punch' technique training tool is performed as a shadow spar practice activity, meaning there is no equipment needed to take part.
