Several variations of the jab exist, but every jab shares these characteristics: while in a fighting stance, the lead fist is thrown straight ahead and the arm is fully extended from the side of the torso. This process also involves a quick turn of the torso. It is an overhand punch; at the moment of impact, the <a href="/wiki/Pronation" class="mw-redirect" title="Pronation">pronated</a> fist is generally held in a horizontal orientation with the palm facing the ground.

The drawback to this technique is that it takes the fighter out of his boxing stance, committing him to the punch rather more than the speed jab. A "pivot jab" is the most powerful jab, one in which the weight shifts almost entirely to the lead foot, which pivots to put the mass of the body behind the punch. Jabbing from the hip, rather than from a tight guard, will add power to the jab at the expense of speed.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Jab_to_the_body">Jab to the body</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jab&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Jab to the body"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Jabbing to the body is relatively uncommon, because it increases a fighter's vulnerability to a counterpunch. Typically, the fighter bends at the waist and fires a speed jab to the midsection of his opponent in an attempt at getting the opponent to drop his guard. It is impractical to put the body weight behind this punch, so power is limited. The jab to the body can be used effectively to counter the opponents lead jab. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Jab_combinations">Jab combinations</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jab&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Jab combinations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>Jabs are often doubled up in an attempt at getting the opponent to compromise his guard.</li> <li>"Jabbing on the fly" is a point-scoring maneuver that employs a quick series of speed jabs thrown by a circling fighter.</li> <li>Most combinations start with a jab as a way of closing the distance and finding the proper range.
