it is not semantics at all. Turning the hip, in the way needed to throw a punch properly, is a learned skill. That is how you get snap on your punch and punch through the target. (for the record, the term 'snap' has zero to do with pushing your punch out and then yanking it back.) The gentleman speaks in a way to make you think, not trying to tell you what to think.
Actually working with someone at the moment, who doesnt understand how His Body works, mind He is only Four.

Kid in question has, PMD, if you know what that is. 3 months of work without the usual Straps and Aids, He is walking. His Mum and Dad think I am. .
punch through with power punches and everything really but snap your jab the idea of the jab is to be quick and set up power punches (punching through).
punching throw is important when you add body mass to a punch. Punch through effect is achieved by 1) forming correctly a power line from shoulder to the knuckles 2) tightening your fist primarily right before the impact (which causes other muscles in the forearm, shoulder, torso, etc to get tightened) [from Jack Dempsey's book]. All these makes a solid frame that impacts at the target and "goes through" it Snapping punch has somewhat different mechanics and it can be achieved by establishing a proper snap, usually the shoulder snap. Formally, body mass is not needed here
