Best punching mechanics to get most power out of punches

Oh youre a beginner.

Well think of your foot, hips and shoulder being like the hinges on a door and you turn them into your punch by rptating them around your center line

And no shoulder snap works for any punch, its just easiest to learn for hooks and uppercuts.

 

Im sorry but everyone knows the power all comes from the legs.
Wtf

 

Big legs doesn't mean more power... this is a complex subject... to keep it simple... Wilder will generate his power from his legs even if they are skinny.

To make it complicated.... big legs vs small legs...

• Difference in muscle fibre type - long distance runners will have slow twitch muscles and same size legs as wilder, wilder is fast twitch same size (skinny) legs.. but wilder is more powerful because of muscle fibre type... training... genetics... black people jump higher in nba... but they are all skinnt... WHY do they jump higher than? They don't have big thick thighs? It's the recoil effect of the joints and fast twitch fibres programmed for explosive movement
• Different people have different muscle recruitment ability (the ability to recruit all your muscle fibres)
• Difference in training, learning technique and footposition with skinny legs, vs no technique and poor foot position with big legs
• Strength of muscles, bruce lee was strong for his size, and IPF power lifters compete in a specific weight category so pound for pound there muscles work stronger and better than people with bigger legs.

So it's less about leg size, and more about leg strength, genetics and how you use your legs. And using this formula you are able to improve your body by working on the different elements for strength and conditioning.

 

Well on a door all the hinges turn at the same time. So think of your shoulder foot and hip turning in unison putting your bodyweight behind your punch like a door open.

Im not gonna write you an entire article unless you pay me, learning priper punching technique is not hard at all.

 

It's actually heavily dependent on the person. It becomes what can YOU use most effectively.

 

Yes it can be used for straights.

Perfect example

Serious shoulder snap on that lead right hand.


Basically you turn ,our hips and shoulder into the punch but the last part of the punch the actual extension of the arm comes a fraction of a second too late so that it's not a pushed punch but a snap.

A Pushed punch is like a rigid stick

Snapped punch is like a whip because the shoulder snap is(and has to be) "timed" perfectly so that you catch your opponent with the maximum velocity.


Mike Tyson had incredible snap on his punches and his snap was timed very well.

 

Six-inch shots with toe pivots, hitting downward with all his weight.

 

When you punch short from the foot, you generate a lot more power because you can rotate your hips fully and use your whole bodyweight, as opposed to punching long from the elbow or shoulder where there is only some arm power and minimal momentum
