I agree with you krav..

I may be repeating what you said in some ways, but im just tellin you what i was taught.

The jab just snaps out with quickness, you dont even really need much power behind it. Just a good "pop", stun your opponent then follow up with whatever combinations you're comfortable with.

As for making the jab more powerful, box a lot, hit the bag, sparr. Dont rely on the power of the jab. Keep your elbows in tight, and use your quickness. I say keep the elbows in tight cause its easier to read the punches if you keep them out.
