Hi, I'm Simon from Box Smart. I'm an Amateur Boxing Association qualified boxing tutor. Today I'm going to go through some boxing techniques with you.

When you throw a screw shot, your palm will be facing to the side. Notice my movement in my arm is slightly different. The screw shot is used to come through someone's guard.

If someone's got a good guard and they're in a tight position here, you're not going to get your hand through. So, instead of jabbing here, you're going to screw shot through. I'll demonstrate that now with a glove.

So, from this position if I were to throw a jab at Enzo, he could block that or it won't go through his guard. If I throw a screw shot through, it's got more chance of going through his guard and connecting to the target. So, when I throw a jab, my palm faces downwards.

As I throw the screw shot, my fist stays in the same position from the guard position there, up through his guard. So, going over the main points again from your set position, your screw shot comes through here. Lead hand protecting your head.

The reason you throw a screw shot is to get through someone's guard. Obviously, your glove is wider in that position than it is that position. It's easier to get through someone's guard.

So from here, up through the guard, not forgetting turning your hips, and your feet, and your rear hand protecting your face here. That's how to throw a screw shot. .
