Boxing Right Uppercut

1. Start in a standard boxing stance: Keep your left foot forward if you're right-handed (orthodox stance) or your right foot forward if you're left-handed (southpaw stance). Keep your hands up with fists at eye level and your elbows close to your body. Distribute your weight evenly between both feet.

2. Bend your knees slightly to lower your center of gravity. This will help you generate power from the ground up.

3. Pivot your right foot, turning your right heel outward as you begin the uppercut. This rotation should initiate from the ground, involving your ankle, knee, and hip.

4. Engage your core and torque your body, rotating your right hip forward as your right arm begins to drive upwards from your lower rib area.

5. Focus on driving the uppercut in a diagonal upward direction, aiming towards your imaginary opponent's chin or body. Your elbow should stay tucked to your side during the initial movement to protect your body and to add force to your punch.

6. As your right arm travels upward, keep your left hand in a defensive position, guarding your face.

7. At the peak of the punch, your right palm should face towards you, and your arm should not fully extend; maintain a slight bend in your elbow.

8. After the completion of the uppercut, quickly bring your right arm back to the guard position, and reset your stance, ready to throw the next punch or to defend.

Remember to exhale sharply with each punch and practice the uppercut slowly at first to perfect the technique before increasing speed and power. It is also critically important to maintain a strong guard and proper form to prevent injury and maximize the effectiveness of the punch.
