Icons
Jab, cross, hook, and uppercut are signaled within the program using the following
icons:
Jab: A jab is thrown with the leading arm. The punch is thrown straight ahead, fully
extending the arm.
Cross: A cross is typically thrown using the dominant arm, which is the back arm.
This punch crosses over your body’s centerline and targets the same point as a jab.
Hook: A hook can be thrown using either arm. Lift the elbow so your forearm is
parallel to the ground and your arm is bent about 90 degrees. Punch to the side of
the target by turning at the waist and pivoting your toes.
Uppercut: An uppercut can be thrown using either arm. The arm is brought low and
then strikes out and up with about a 90-degree bend at the elbow toward the
opponent’s chin.
Further instruction on these punches can be found in the Basic Training videos.
The blue icons that come up occasionally in fast sections indicate a hit on a half
beat. When you see these icons, prepare to hit fast!
Point System
Each punch is rated on a scale from 0-8000 points. The points awarded are based
on a combination of power, speed and timing. An 8000 point punch would be fast,
powerful and have perfect timing. The points from each punch add up to give you
your total score at the end of each round.
