The aim of the research was to use slow-motion video recording and to observe it immediately after the boxer performed the straight punch, in order to determine the effect of immediate observation using video recording on improving the performance of the straight punch among the junior boxers of Maysan Sports Club. In light of the objectives, the researcher hypothesized that immediate observation using slow-motion video recording would have a positive effect on developing the performance of the straight punch among the junior boxers of Maysan Sports Club. As for the research methodology and field procedures, the researcher used the experimental method with a design of two equivalent groups — an experimental group and a control group — as it was suitable for the nature of the research. The research population was determined by a comprehensive survey method. After obtaining the results, the researcher processed the data statistically using the SPSS statistical package to obtain the final results, which were then presented in tables, analyzed, and discussed. Based on the final results, the researcher reached the following main conclusions: Immediate observation using slow-motion video recording contributed to the improvement of straight punch performance among junior boxers. In light of these conclusions, the researcher made the following main recommendations: Coaches should focus on immediate observation using slow-motion video recording during training sessions.
