How can a person's punches become more accurate in boxing?

Just started boxing, and would like to make sure that my technique to down solid before furthering my practice.|||punching accuracy has alot to do with proper balance, technique, timing and properly measuring the distance between you and your opponent. Meaning if you are a boxer/puncher, keep your opponent an arms length away so that he is within punching range for you but difficult for him to reach you unless he commits and moves forward. If you are a brawler stay inside on your opponent and use your head movement and bodypunching to smother your opponent so that he has little punching room/distance.





Don%26#039;t waste punches or throw lazy jabs/counters. Circle your opponent by moving away from his powerhand and use sharp jabs and feints to draw him in and look at what your opponent does when u attempt a jab feint to the head, then jab him to body and feint him there also. Check for your opponents reaction to expose defensive flaws in his arsenal. Keep your eyes open, even when you are receiving and blocking his blows and look for mistakes on how he returns to guard himself, look to see where he keeps his hands and how he maintains his overall balance, use this to your advantage when u open up.





Keep your opponent guessing and move around the ring, then go ahead and instead of feinting after your sharp jab, throw your hardest, fastest punches in the areas your opponent left exposed when you used your feints previously.





during training hit the heavy bag with short, quick punches that produce a snap every time you hit. dont let the bag fly all over the place. concentrate on form and technique. your goal should be flawless balance and timing. this will help you greatly in your accuracy.





good luck.|||I started boxing when I was a kid...so this is a LONG memory. But from what I remember...the worst habit I had to break was trying to make every punch a %26quot;Money%26quot; punch. Everything has to snap...everything has to cause damage. Thats not true.





Know that all punches in boxing are not to cause maximum damage. Jabs are to create distance, and to disrupt your opponents timing. Although it has to be powerful enough for your opponent to notice it, it doesnt have to do damage.





Not all combos are all damage punches. You can tap someone in the face to get their gloves up to drop a more powerful punch, or punch combo downstairs. Some punches are tempo punches..some judge distance...and the less you telegraph the punch (by shrugging you shoulder which will happen when you are trying to generate too much force) you have a higher chance to land it.





Just food for thought.|||just keep training and little mini bags which will test your accuracy and you will not just learn it by trying it you have to dedicate yourself|||The speed ball.
