im having problems with my knuckles and the anchor....is there another way of doing this ali/johnson anchor punch?:yep:huh
Lowering your weight allows you to temporarily anchor yourself into the ground and fortify your body structure allowing you to withstand a harder punch without being pushed around as you block.
im pretty sure its called the cork screw punch Page 159 has a pic and 158 has some information on it. http://books.google.com/books?id=i-...=PA159#v=onepage&q=the corkscrew hook&f=false and the anchor/cork screw punch that ali put liston down also was countering listons right hand whcih is what made it able to knock liston down.
The 'anchor' principle is fine, but as far as the punch goes, I think people should remember how controversial the fight is.
there's more to this punch than the controversy behind that one fight. I read somewhere that Jack Johnson taught this 'anchor' punch to Ali.
maybe....if you apply the corkscrew hook's elbow angle principle with anchoring [sitting on your punch] of your body...you could get some serious power on that **** even on a back pedal? I'm gonna fiddle with this one
It sounds like an over-mystification of what is already good punch mechanics. 'Sitting-down' on your punches is not a new concept.
no **** *******, im mixing it up with other mechanics. did you really take two days to come up with that response?
i appreciate something productive in a response....one punch is straight up a piece of **** ....minimal knowledge. Seems you just want to get your post numbers up:good
hes saying that rooting is the over mystical terminology for sitting down on the punches. i may be wrong though
but it's not. he's an *******..rooting yourself can be some chakra ****. or rooting yourself can be a million other things...mental, physically, or spiritual from what i've read up on, rooting yourself can open you to your surroundings. like an extra sense. or it can give you a solid base..with out sitting down to block or punch. it's very ****ing wierd and it's not just one thing. :blood chupa pija ---> http://healing.about.com/od/grounding/Grounding_Root_Yourself_Into_The_Earth.htm
