Instructions

Start in a boxing stance: with your feet shoulder-width apart. Your left foot should be slightly forward if you're right-handed (orthodox stance), or your right foot slightly forward if you're left-handed (southpaw stance).

Keep your hands up, with gloves at cheek level for protection.

Engage your core and bend your knees slightly for balance and power.

Pivot your left foot slightly, turning your hips and shoulders to the right to prepare for the punch.

Thrust your hips to the left as you drive your left fist upwards and diagonally across your body toward an imaginary target (like an opponent's chin).

Ensure that your palm is facing you and that you use your legs and hips to generate power, not just your arm.

Keep your right hand by your face to guard against counter-punches.

Quickly return to the starting position, ready to throw another punch or defend.

Note: When practicing the left uppercut, it is crucial to maintain good form to prevent injury and to make sure the punch is as effective as possible. Practice slowly at first to learn the correct technique, then increase speed and power as you become more comfortable with the movement.
