=== Boxing and offense strategies ===
Right-handed boxers usually fight from an orthodox stance. This means putting the left foot slightly ahead of the right with both feet spread apart and the weight of the body evenly distributed on both. This position enables the boxer to move quickly in any direction. The left arm is partly extended to the front. The right arm is held close to the body to guard the [[stomach]] and [[jaw]]. Left-handed boxers stand with the right foot and right arm forward.

A good offense is usually built around the four recognized classes of punches jab, straight blow, hook or cross, and uppercut. The jab is a sharp, light punch delivered by straightening out the bent arm, usually the left arm in a typical stance. The jab can be used effectively to harass an opponent and to keep him off-balance. A cross, a straight punch with the right, may carry the weight of the body behind it and will result in a knockout if it is landed in a vital spot, and is usually preceded by a jab, a combination often referred to as a "one-two".

The hook, either left or right, is a blow with the arm held at or near a right angle, powered by the quick, strong rotation of the back and core muscles, aimed to slip by the opponent's guard in a circular fashion. The uppercut is a blow directed upward, usually aimed at the jaw or the midsection. When delivered with full power either punch can be a knockout blow - although knockouts are technically achievable with jabs, as well as the typical power punches, the hook, uppercut, and cross.
