Перевод: lead uppercut
The lead uppercut is thrown with the front hand in a rising arc, typically used at close range to attack the chin from below. [1] Dempsey described the lead uppercut as a 'trigger punch' — fast enough to surprise opponents but lacking the full power of the rear uppercut due to the shorter kinetic chain. [1] The lead uppercut was historically used as a counter to opponents who dip their heads forward, particularly against aggressive fighters who lean in while throwing hooks. [2] Haislet noted that the lead uppercut is most effective when preceded by a jab to bring the opponent's guard high, opening the centreline for the rising blow. [2]
The lead uppercut attacks vertically beneath the opponent's guard, targeting the chin from below — an angle that is particularly effective at snapping the head back and producing knockouts. [1] It is most effective at close range against opponents who lean forward or drop their chin behind a high guard. [1]
The uppercut was developed within prize-fighting and refined in gloved boxing, with Gentleman Jim Corbett among the early champions to use it systematically. [1] Mike Tyson later became the most famous practitioner of the lead uppercut, integrating it into his peek-a-boo style under trainer Cus D'Amato. [2]
Mike Tyson's lead uppercut was central to many of his 44 career knockouts, including his devastating first-round knockout of Michael Spinks (1988) where a short uppercut preceded the finishing combination. [1]

Unlike other punches that work across the body, the uppercut works against gravity, so pure muscle without proper mechanics isn't as effective. Invincible Worldwide emphasizes that joint theory and mechanics—similar to how baseball pitchers and quarterbacks throw—are essential to generate real power in an uppercut.
Your fist should travel in one straight line from your stomach to your nose or chin—no circular motions. Invincible Worldwide stresses thinking 'stomach to nose' as a single straight line path for the punch.
When finishing the uppercut, square your hips and shoulders while driving through the punch, almost as if you're taking your shoulder away from your opponent. Invincible Worldwide notes that proper hip and shoulder rotation, combined with coverage, is where the real power comes from—not arm muscles alone.
Power must come from the ground up through your lower body first—starting with your toes, then hips, then shoulders. Invincible Worldwide emphasizes that every punch, including the uppercut, should never rely on upper body muscle alone.

Оценка опасности 6/10. High — hooks/uppercuts; generate rotational force, high KO rate (Walilko et al. 2005)
Стандартная цепочка подготовки: Assume Fighting Stance → Generate Power → Execute Strike → Recover to Guard.
Стандартные контрприёмы: Block — absorb the strike with a protective guard position / Evasion — move the target out of the strike's path / Counter-Attack — time an offensive response during the recovery phase of the strike.
Распространённые варианты: Standard uppercut (rising punch from below targeting the chin); Short uppercut (compact version for clinch range); Body uppercut (targeting the solar plexus with the rising punch); Lead uppercut (using the lead hand for a faster, less-telegraphed rising…).

Основные ошибки, на которые стоит обратить внимание: Telegraphing by dipping the shoulder excessively or bending at the waist before throwing / Leaning back to generate an arc instead of driving straight up from the legs / Throwing from too far away — the lead uppercut has even less range than the rear / Dropping the rear guard hand while throwing — the chin is exposed from the rear side.
Lead Uppercut также известен как Rīdo Appā, Left Uppercut, Lead Age Tsuki, Jab Uppercut.
