How to do Boxing Right Uppercut (with partner)

01
Setup
Stand in a boxing stance with your non-dominant foot forward (left foot if right-handed), feet shoulder-width apart, and hands up guarding your face. Your partner should hold a mitt at waist to chest height, ready to receive the uppercut.
02
Setup
Slightly shift your weight onto your back (right) foot, rotating your hips and shoulders slightly away from your target. Keep your right elbow tucked close to your body.
03
Explosively drive off your back foot, rotating your hips and core powerfully towards your target. Simultaneously, extend your right arm upward in an arc.
04
Drive your right fist upwards, palm facing you, aiming to make contact with the mitt from below. Ensure your elbow remains slightly bent upon impact to prevent hyperextension.
05
Allow your hand to follow through slightly past the target, then quickly retract your right arm to your guard position. Maintain your balanced boxing stance, ready for the next punch or combination.

Tips

Generate power from your hips and legs, not just your arm; the punch originates from the ground up through your core rotation.
Keep your chin tucked and your non-punching hand up to protect your face, even when striking.
Breathe out sharply through your mouth or nose as you deliver the punch to engage your core and increase power.
Practice the motion slowly without power first to engrain proper form and body mechanics before adding speed and force.

Common mistakes

Punching with a straight arm or locked elbow can lead to hyperextension; ensure a slight bend in the elbow upon impact to protect the joint.
Not rotating the hips and core sufficiently reduces power; focus on driving your back hip forward aggressively to maximize force.
Dropping the non-punching hand while striking exposes the face; always keep your opposite hand guarding your chin and jaw.
