From your stance, push off your right foot and step your left foot to the side. Follow with your right foot to return to your original stance. Keep your guard up while stepping to maintain balance and defense.

• Jab

  From your guard, extend your lead hand (left for orthodox, right for southpaw) straight out, rotating your fist as it reaches full extension. Snap it back to your guard position quickly. Use the jab to set up other punches and maintain distance.
