I just began training in boxing with a trainer (he teaches the 'Peek-a-Boo' style). He's got me working the jab right now, but is confusing me on one point. He tells me to step (as in, step with front foot, lightly slide up with rear foot), THEN jab. However, he steps WITH the jab (not sure if it's on the movement of the front foot or the rear). But when I ask him, he tells me to step, THEN jab. Finally I stepped and jabbed WITH the jab (felt better for penetration), and he said the jab was perfect (and I did what he told me not to do).
I'm rather confused - is the jab better suited on the movement of the front foot stepping, the rear foot moving, or after the step altogether?
