<br />
The first thing you will notice in my mittwork highlight
is that I use the right mitt as the target for the jab. This is based on
Kenny Weldon’s mittwork method as you can see below:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div id="Kv5908" style="text-align: left;">
<br />
He is not the only one. Here is Floyd Mayweather Sr. : </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

And finally Mike Tyson:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div id="rWE3oY" style="text-align: left;">
<br />
There are significant advantages in using the right mitt for the jab:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li id="0NyfFw">It teaches students to keep opponents behind their jab without crossing their punches.</li>
<li id="F2S99D">The mitt is closer to the head and the student needs to
step-in to land the jab. If you use the left mitt the target is too
close and is not realistic in terms of distance.</li>
<li id="1QxxMw">Your left hand is free and you can always counterattack with a left hook. You can catch students coming in to land the jab.</li>
<li id="m1aebm">You can use your left hand to go for the Thai plum or go
for a bear hug (I do this often when the student keeps getting too
close. As a counter, the student needs to push me away and attack).</li>
</ol>
