Cross(translated from English - a cross) - this is one of the types of direct blow with the right hand, it is a strong, often knockout blow in boxing. It is usually used after preliminary preparation, when the enemy is exposed. He is also beaten towards the opponent's blow.
How it should be done
The cross-country technique occurs according to the scheme: pushing the right leg - transferring body weight to the left leg - turning the body and shoulder girdle from right to left and striking with the muscles of the arm. The right shoulder at the end of the blow must be raised to protect the head from an oncoming or side blow from the opponent. The left fist is pressed tightly against the lower part of the face, and the left elbow is pressed against the torso to protect the boxer from counter-punches from the right.
Cross in boxing compared to heavy artillery, which they try to beat for sure, putting all their strength into the beating right hand.
However, you need to remember the rule: with which hand you hit, with that you can miss. Therefore, we do not forget about defense and, inflicting a cross, we remove our head from the line of attack. We also remember that when struck, the liver opens. Therefore, having broken through the cross, we throw off the elbow. As you know, a missed blow to the liver, at best, leads to respiratory failure, and at worst -

Ego is about the same punch as a side swing - the only difference is that the striking arm is bent at the elbow and the fingers of the fist are facing down and inward. Ular are applied with the first phalanges of the fingers. Its target is the side of the face (mainly the jaw) or the side of the abdomen (costal arch).

As with any punch in boxing, the movement starts from the feet, gaining momentum in the rotation, which spills out in a straight punch when the arm is fully extended.
A fighter can be both left-handed and right-handed, so the blow is more often called "straight from the far hand." But since there are more right-handers in the world, we will discuss strikes and stances in the article from the point of view of the left-handed position.
Cross-country technique
From the combat left-hand position, we begin the movement with a push with the far (right) foot, after which we transfer the weight to the left foot. We rise to the left toe, at the same time starting the rotation of the body counterclockwise.
The main force that sets the rotation originates from the push with the right foot.
The arm is fully extended at the elbow, with, and the fist flies forward at the target.
With the right shoulder we protect the chin, slightly raising it, and with the fist of the left hand we insure the lower part of the face. We press the elbow of the left hand to the body to protect the right from counterattacks.
More weight at the moment of impact is on the right leg. When returning to its original position, the hand moves along the same trajectory as during the impact.
Cross tasks
Since the cross, unlike another strike called, is a stronger strike, then its goals are of an offensive nature.
Here are the main tasks of the cross:
- Cross like a finisher
- Cross in combination with other strikes (for example, the well-known "two")
- Cross like a counter
In boxing, the cross is compared to heavy-type artillery, with which you can hit for sure, putting all your strength into the beating far hand. But at the same time, one must not forget the golden rule, with which hand you strike, with the same hand you can get in response.
In order to avoid such a situation, we always remember about defense and, striking a cross, we remove our head from the line of attack. Also, at the time of the strike, the liver area opens, therefore, having broken through with a straight far hand, we cover the liver with the elbow of the left. The consequences of a missed blow to the liver can be completely different, from a downed breath to a knockout.
When attacking, always remember about your own protection and safety.
By the way, after the cross, few people expect a left-handed strike. In this situation, you can often take advantage of the moment by quickly shortening the distance by stepping forward and knocking the opponent out with the left.
