A jab is one of the four main punches used in boxing. Several variations of the jab exist, but every jab shares these characteristics: while in a boxing stance, the lead fist is thrown straight ahead and the arm is fully extended. It is an overhand punch; at the moment of impact, the pronated fist is generally held in a horizontal orientation with the palm facing the ground.

The jab is probably the most familiar punch to the layperson. Although it is rarely the strongest punch in a fighter's arsenal, many consider the jab to be the most important punch in boxing . The Compubox computerized punch scoring system divides punches between jabs and power punches.

Uses for the jab

Defense

A jab is an integral part of a fighter's defense. Its speed and power of execution and reach can keep the opponent at a distance, preventing him from charging in. Defensive jabs can be employed while moving backwards.

Speed Jab

This jab gives a fighter high mobility and is often used with the intention of scoring points. Fighters use this variation of the jab when they want to preserve the mobility and balance of their stance.

Noun

jab (plural jabs)

1. A quick stab or blow
2. (boxing), a short straight punch (wikipedia:Jab)
3. (UK) A medical injection
   • Our dog was exposed to rabies, so the whole family went to a clinic to get our jabs.
4. In American English, the word jab is also used when someone is bothering someone else, what is commonly known as verbal jabs. "Don't throw jabs at me" and "Quit jabbing!" are popular sayings. This may be because the verbal annoyances are not substantial attacks, and are similar to a boxing jab in that they are only annoying (not a knockout blow).
