Savate training: Lesson 3 - The right cross (rear hand straight)

Before the right cross you should have learned the basic boxing stance (Lesson 1.) and the Jab (Lesson 2.). If you have learned them at least on basic level, it's time to learn the right cross. The right cross is straight punch you make with your rear hand (the more powerful hand).

The right cross is similar punch as the jab but the difference is the hand. The jab is a punch you hit with your weaker hand to keep your opponent away from you. The right cross is more powerful punch you hit with your stronger hand and you usually use more power than in the jab. In the video below Ray Medel teaches you how to use the right cross:
