Editing Jab (section)

===Power jab===
Power can be added to a jab if it is thrown with a moderate step forward.  The drawback to this technique is that it takes the fighter out of his boxing stance, committing him to the punch rather more than the speed jab.  A "pivot jab" is the most powerful jab, one in which the weight shifts almost entirely to the lead foot, which pivots to put the mass of the body behind the punch.  Jabbing from the hip, rather than from a tight guard, will add power to the jab at the expense of speed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.expertboxing.com/boxing-techniques/punch-techniques/5-types-of-jabs|title=The 5 Types of Jabs|author=Johnny N|date=June 30, 2010|publisher=ExpertBoxing.com|access-date=2012-05-07}}</ref>
