The Six (6) Boxing Punch Numbers

Boxing consists of six punches performed in various combinations. The punches include the jab, cross, lead hook, rear hook, lead uppercut, and rear uppercut. Although these movements may be simplistic in nature—the mastery of these punches is critical to boxing success.

Here’s what the numbers refer to in traditional boxing:

1 = The Jab
2 = The Cross
3 = The Lead Hook
4 = The Rear Hook
5 = The Lead Uppercut
6 = The Rear Uppercut

When the numbers above are displayed with a “b” next to them, that connotes throwing a punch to the body. So, 1b = a jab to the body, and so on.
