If you want to hit as hard as possible, you have to get those hips to work properly during the punch. It’s the same story as throwing a pitch, swinging a golf club, wrestling, whatever. Because the hips control the center of gravity, they allow you to bring your full size and weight behind the punch. In this video, we’re talking about the hip movement in single, power punches, so everything except the jab. That’ll be covered in later videos.
EXECUTION
1. This first step is simple - get used to the hips moving with the punch. We’ll get into the finer points of correcting the actual motion later but for now, just get comfortable bringing the hips around with every punch. So for the next week, 2 weeks, however long it takes, when you’re on the bag, shadow boxing, sparring, etc. just start rotating the hips with the punch. Get comfortable with it.
WHAT TO THINK ABOUT
Keep the following 3 things in mind while practicing this…
1. Think about the hips initiating the punch. That will be your very first movement. For now - and just for now - I don’t care what’s happening above the hips and I don’t care what’s happening below the hips. But make sure you’re starting the punch by rotating the hips.
2. Keep the hips back during the punch. Don’t bring them to the front when you throw since, defensively, that puts you in a really bad position. You'll know you're in a bad position if your stomach is exposed.
3. “Line up your power” - the idea here is to finish the hip rotation with the front of the punching hip ending its movement in the direction of the target, whether that’s the bag or the opponent. So don’t under-rotate the hips (or you’re not bringing all your available power into the punch) and don’t over-rotate the hips (or the power is being applied to the wrong direction).
Don’t move on to the next level until you’re capable of executing these techniques consistently.
This is the KEY to a serious punch that noone seems to mention. Everyone thinks it comes from the legs. Deontay Wilder said himself its all in the hips and he's probably the hardest puncher in history.
radiacto agreed. so important for generating power in ANY sport
@@PUNCHwithPOWER its crazy, once I got the hang of it, my punches turned into lightning
radiacto I wouldn’t say history but he’s deff a hard puncher that’s for sure
And while the hips are very important, you wouldn’t get that power without the feet and legs first.
That kinetic energy starts at the feet and works its way up.
But you’re correct in that the hips are important for all sports
Dan and Lilly well said
PUNCHwithPOWER thank you that means a lot to me actually lol
I’ve been learning boxing on my own just to lose weight and only have a heavy bag (on a stand so it’s not the best haha) and a cheap cheap cardio bag.
I’m a heart patient and have a hernia but so far I’ve lost 52lbs.
Next up is my diet haha gotta work on diet and portion sizes like real bad lol
Hey sorry to keep rambling but that could be something for one of your videos. Talking about dieting and portion sizes (if you haven’t already)
I’ve lost that weight but I eat wendys literally 3-5 days a week.
I know what healthy foods are but that’s literally the extent of my knowledge and I’m sure there’s others out there like me haha
Thank you for reading my novel haha and of course I subbed
Why does nobody teach this? I’ve looked everywhere and nothing as good as this video. Thank you.
Thank you! Glad it helps. I was lucky to have had an OUTSTANDING teacher
Banter Bulldogge yes I do. I would disagree that you shouldn’t turn your front foot. To get the most power possible you have to have an explosive hip rotation. If your foot stays flat on the ground then it’s blocking the hip from coming around. Try it and you’ll see what I’m saying.
Peter Considine has videos uploaded on UA-cam showing how to utilise the double hip movement.
1. hip moves first, fist comes almost instantaneously after
2. keep the hips back, swivel hips
3. hip finishes in direction of punch/target
4. dont over or under rotate hips or punches
Absolutely well put sir. Very rare to see a video that is quintessential for explaining true punching mechanics.
SEMPER FI-TNESS thanks brother! 🥊
The most important technique explained perfectly. Not too little not too much
Joey Bryson thanks brother. Appreciate the feedback!
Great details, these show immediate results. Thank you
Thank you for this, the concept of lining up your power was exactly what I needed to understand!
Thank you for keeping it so simple. 👍👍
Thank you very much. Ive corrected my form accordingly. This video drastically helped me improve my follow up shots and balance. Before I came across this video I've watched many people try to break it down it but couldn't explain the simple beauty of the mechanics.
Cool. Glad it helps. Thanks!
Wonderful explanation! The first time someone explains it in a way i can understand it. Thank you! ✌🏽
This will definitely help me, thank you!
am following all your videos, by the time you are hitting your 1thousand video, i will be in another level
Wonderful!
I got alot out of this video. Need second and third video on using the hips. great job
dagadiego thank you! 2nd and 3rd are at punchwithpower.com.
But glad it helps. If something ever doesn’t make sense, just let me know.
Very important tips man! Thanks!🤙
Nico Postigo yes sir! 🥊
Good content, only thing I would add is that it can also be used for a 'stiff jab', as an outside fighter I used a stiff jab occasionally to make sure they would respect it . Just dont get complacent as you are committing to this jab and are susceptible to counters overhands. Being a good boxer is about understanding the risk reward factor of the tools you have and when to use them!
Great advice, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent teaching in detail Sir!!
Thank you
Great video. Thanks for sharing this 🙏🏼🙏🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Thanks man 🥊
Great video! It reminded me of Foremans heavy bag training
LOVE watching Big George just plow the bag
Great video!! Thanks man
Thanks!
Thanks man. All those videos I watched didn’t really explain it as well as you
Thank you for the positive feedback. Appreciate it! 🥊
Thanks ı havent berçen able to clarify the hip movement but now ı can now thanks alpt
Thanks
Thanks man!
Smiffy yep! 👍🥊
Thank you sir.
Thank you man 🙏
thanks a lot
When you watch this guy do the correct movement with the hips not too much or not enough but just right it reminds me of Tyson's form when thrashing someone in the 80s.
Thank you 🙏 🙏
And agree - Tyson was exceptional in his ability to drive the punch with his hips & shoulders.
A good little tutorial; on how to punch correctly, by pivoting the hips to generate power. This has to be practiced until it becomes second nature and you can execute it in a split second. As with everything in boxing, if you have to think about it you've already lost; muscle memory and hours and hours of practice and hard work are the only way to be the best fighter you can be. Thanks for uploading.
Thanks man
Think of the body as a spring, power is transferred from the ground up ie the feet, to the joints, to the hips and the twisting of the arm.
Good tip for how much to rotate. Not really addressed in other videos I’ve seen.
Thanks man 🙏
Very cool info
Thank you
Hello PWP i started boxing 2 months ago and you are really helping me with my begginer problems, thank you so much you have earned a subscriber!
nikola milosavljevic thanks for the feedback and glad to hear it’s helping! Good luck with the training!
PUNCHwithPOWER Thanks!
hip twists first and beacause body being twisted creates elastic tension on chest and shoulders, punch is supplied by elastic power in addion to flexing power we indend when we throw a punch.
it actually starts in the feet up the leg’s through the hips it takes the complete movement as one to max power
The problem with this is that it is very telegraphic. Hands must move first in ultra high level striking. But great video for basic beginners.
Good vid the people need to hear this. I have one thing to add which helps me get the most power from my strikes. I start with my foot not my hip, i then dig my foot into the ground and turn it in the direction of the punch or kick this lines my hip up automatically and my upper body follows threw the strike. Very similair to what you said but i believe you lose power by starting with the hip. Which throws some of your power down to the leg rather then towards your target. I have been wrong before tho:] One love
Thank you man. Appreciate it! And I totally agree with you - I actually cover this in the 3rd part of punching with the hips. Just didn’t want to put too much in the first vid! Great feedback!
Awesome,. Either.
Great video a little thing to note is for it to be one motion with the punch instead of 2 motions for example you use your hips and your arm is connected to those hips throughout the movement instead of using the hips and then swinging your punch after your hips are already rotated , makes it look like an arm punch as you were doing in the video sir
It's called elastic recoil like grenady does it is done by leaving the arm back
🔥🔥🔥
A punch is initiated through the feet. A biomechanical sound strike is from the ground up.
It's my guy, buff mr.clean
Great video. Do you use hips even do fast combos ?
Thanks man 🙏 good question.
If I want to throw very hard punches during the combo then absolutely yes. But not every combination or every punch within a combo is going to be as hard as possible.
So hips and shoulders are key to athletic movement?
i've been doing muay thai for 3/4 months now and i can get a pretty nice motion for my cross/hooks, where there's decent power being delivered - but i really struggle with getting any real power behind my jabs ... it feels like i can't push off of my front foot in the way i can with my back foot, like it feels as though my front leg is not long enough or something, because my back foot wants to lift as well... and i just feel this complete lack of foundational power behind the motion. is it normal to struggle with jabs like this? any tips?
Brocke lesnar without hair
nice teaching very technical
Uncle Robert Boxing thank you man 🙏
@@PUNCHwithPOWER you're welcome a good stuff... I subscribe to your Channel I'm kind of new to this only been out a couple months! If you could subscribe to me I'd appreciate it my name is Bob... figured what the hell the world is big enough for both of us LOL... did you fight amateurs or professional or both?
You look strong.
Hello teacher. Thank you for your teaching. Many other instructors always same punching is at the same time as body turning. I am very confused which one is correct. Should I turn my hip first and then throw a punch or should I synchnize my hip turning and my punching at the same time?
Thanks for the question. The hip definitely drives the power and in a pure power maneuver the hip would definitely turn first. But we have to be careful when boxing because we don’t want any delay before the shoulder comes around. Instead just think of the following happening simultaneously when punching for power:
*Sit down
*Turn the heel
*Fire the hip
Combined with an strong and explosive core musculature the shoulders and punch will rotate around a fraction of a fraction of a second after. This should be imperceptible. Just keel the core engaged and the fist in position. Make sense?
@@PUNCHwithPOWER Make sense. Thank you very much teacher.
Hips don't lie.
Fedor?
Does the leg and foot push the ground before the hip movement in the rear hand punch dynamics?
Great question. Yes but don’t think about it that way. Think instead of turning the foot, turning the hip and sitting down all at the same time.
@@PUNCHwithPOWER Thanks for the reply I guess since the leg and hip are attached it makes sense to rotate them together before launching the punch!!!!
thanks, i’ll use this on my nan if she gets gobby
One important thing you left out is that the opposite hip moves the opposite hip. You are not pushing with the punching hip but pulling with the opposite hip. There is no pushing in striking, only pulling.
Interesting thought. My issue with this is that power in punching results not only from the kinetic chain (like you describe above, rotating the hips and transferring the energy up through the torso and shoulders to fist) but also the forward displacement of the hips. Shifting the hips forward is the way to bring the body’s weight into the punch, increasing the mass part of the equation (F = ma). You can’t have a backward movement countering a forward movement of the hips or it’s inefficient. Make sense?
@@PUNCHwithPOWER yes and no because if you really personally investigate this and Russian boxers say no pushing in boxing only pulling. The body works like this. Think about when you walk, you don't push the lead hip but pull with the opposite hip. This is how the kinetic chain works but 90 % of people do not understand it.Also pushing with one hip uses only 50 %of the body.
@@truthserum9456 I think the difference here may be semantics. I agree that all movements in the body are ultimately pulls - that’s just how muscles work. But a backward displacement of the left hip for a right cross is counter-productive when punching for max power. If that displacement doesn’t occur than we’re talking about the same thing from 2 different viewpoints.
@@PUNCHwithPOWER great discussion. But remember punch power is made of 3 elements, momentum, linear force and then rotational force. In order to have rotational force the hips must cooperatively issue it. And if done perfectly at the last possible second NOT prior as that is the cardinal mistake made by 90 % of fighters. Thanks for the interaction and discussion
Leave some calves for the rest of us.
😂
thanks mate, now my nans sparked clean out on the floor...
So this is when you punch in bag or in the ring.?
Whenever punching for power. Learn on the bag, apply in the ring
@@PUNCHwithPOWER what if im not bending hips and just standing in my foot and punch.?
@@saraths3140 not sure I understand the question...
i tested this on my nan and now she’s not responding
Are you butterbean
His hand look like mallots
fat like for that thousands of videos and noone mention the obviously
