2. Cross

A straight punch thrown from the rear hand, so if your right foot is in front, your left hand does a cross.

Imaginary Target: Nose

Stand with right foot forward in fighting stance.
Turn left foot, knee and hip to the right at the same time, followed by the left shoulder and left arm.
Twist your forearm so your fist is horizontal at full extension; don't lock your elbow.
Recoil and return to fighting stance immediately.

Quick Tip: The force of the cross originates from the hips. By using your core, you'll pack a more powerful punch.

Next: 3. Hook

I recommend cardio kickboxing workouts to all. I have been doing kickboxing workouts since last 2 months and have already shed around 9 kilos. This has really helped me a lot. I have started a kickboxing blog to educate and motivate people for kickboxing workouts. Please check www.kickboxingworkout.net. Thanks Andrew
