The Jab, as taught in Boxing, is an important punch to learn!🥊

The Jab helps to:
âś…Maintain distance
âś…Set-up combinations
âś…Gauge punch range
âś…Probe for reactions
âś…Put strikes on target quickly
âś…Overwhelm an opponents reaction capacity
âś…Tires out an opponents neck and back with repeated strikes

Learning how to land this punch properly, is something every prospective Boxing student should focus on at the earliest stages of training.

This is a solid explanation for building a high capacity of fitness in combat sports.
Staying in Zone 2 during your sparring and rolls is also a great way of building energy efficiency strategies for winning fights.

In 1889, Jack Dempsey’s undefeated streak was ended via spinning back fist (referred to as a “lever punch”).
After this loss the rules of Boxing were changed, making back fist strikes illegal.

Today this technique is prolific in many other Combat Sports events.

In 2026, you can basically go anywhere and find decent instruction on how to choke, armbar or punch people.
The real concern nowadays is culture.

After many years of this sport I can tell you that some folks are just a liability to an academy’s reputation.
Like a ticking time bomb, you don’t know when they’re going to get into serious trouble.

I’m speaking from experience.
At one point many years ago I had whoever wanted to train, on the mats.
One time I even had a dude with an ankle monitor coming into roll lol.

The thing is, back then it was still very niche, and you wanted to give everyone the benefit of the doubt.
Over time you learn that this isn’t the best plan.

Today it’s different.
Many women, teens, and kids are jumping into Combat Sports training as a positive outlet, and for many reasons that don’t necessarily involve a cage fight.

We need to value and safeguard the most vulnerable people in our culture from those who may not have the best character, or decision making skills.

The horror stories we keep hearing within the BJJ and Combat Sports community, are often times situations that could’ve been averted.

Culture matters.
Morality matters.

The roots of BJJ and MMA training in downtown Greensburg, go back over twenty years.

On East Pittsburgh St. we once occupied a vacant 700 sqft space that used to be a neighborhood video rental spot.
No heat, and no bathroom.
Literally just a "space" with semi regular electricity.

Lots of great friendships, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, were developed on those piecemill mats.

There's no way in 2004 I would have believed that the David Flamm Furniture building would be our future home...but God had other plans.

If you remember those Team CGS years of training at our East Pittsburgh St. location, then you're an OG... or maybe just an Old Guy lol.

Every self defense system is just a theory until it’s been tested with hard punches to the face.

The people you’re surrounded by are playing a large role in your failure or success.
Choose wisely.
