    There are 4 ways in which power is generated
    - muscular strength in your arms, shoulders, back
    - rotational (hips, shoulders) as scene in this video
    - weight shift (step or shifting your weight between your legs to produce force)
    - elastic tension (the stretch to wip motion on the peck when you hand trails behind your shoulder) this was a favorite of Joe Louis and Jack Dempsey (he called it the Shoulder Whirl)

      @KelpWolf 2 роки тому +1

      I'm genuinely curious why the "weight shift" is considered a source of power. I think I'm probably not understanding what you mean by "weight shift." I am not a serious boxer by any stretch of the imagination. Is this referred to by some famous boxers/trainers? From a body mechanics (physics) perspective weight shift seems similar to the "hips lie" that this video discusses. Momentum from a step, or power from legs driving the hips and upper body are really the only ways to generate power from your lower half. The weight shift can only provide the base for either, but in itself has basically zero power to impart. Really fast weight shifts and steps can pre-load tension, but the power to do those quick movements is coming from the legs, with some help from hips and torso. I'm probably getting caught up in semantics. So I'll shut up now. Thanks in advance if someone has anything useful to clue me in.

      @@KelpWolf Generally a weight shift is when you have weight focused on 1 foot, then you step or shuffle and put that weight on the other foot then strike. Here are some vids that might give you at least some idea of what it entails.

    Totally agree. If the pivoting of the foot and the rotation of the hip is truly the "key" for power, then Joe Louis would have the weakest cross in the history of boxing, because when he threw the cross, his rear leg is off the ground. The stretch on the pec and the pulling of the lats is what really drive the "snap" in a good punch

  • @KelpWolf
    @KelpWolf 2 роки тому +18

    Power can propagate through your body into your punch when your hips are in the right place, but the hips aren't generating much power. Back/shoulders, oblique abdominal muscles, legs. The muscles that are engaged when you're at full extension and resisting are involved with your stance. If your stance is solid on impact, your body won't have as much give, and your target will receive more power. I threw discus and javelin in high-school. The explosive power of throwing sports is most similar to a hook or roundhouse kick. I get the most power on a hook when I start with a leg-driven hip jerk and follow up with driving my opposite shoulder back while I engage my torso to bring my hook into the target. My punching arm stays in line with my shoulder the whole way through. Thanks! This was a cool body mechanics lesson. I have to say that people with really developed twisting muscles can get a lot of power from the hips and torso, but I don't disagree with anything you said about where you generate power.

    Pivoting actually keeps your knee from exploding when you throw a kick so it's super important. As for power on a kick, i feel like it comes from multiple sources. From the ground, you need flexibility to not hinder your force, IT band strength, quads, many things.

    I've always liked power coming from your back, and your core. It starts with legs, but back and core, and then shoulder bis and tris. And if your well developed in all these spots and your throwing with technique, your gonna have alot of power. Then there is power from just big frames and mass. There's more to power than just it comes from here. If you have lunch box hands, and are 6ft 5 and weigh 250lbs and are in fair shape and know how to throw a punch, that punch will be powerful.. there's alot behind power.

    Weight transfer by throwing the weight forward to the front leg for the cross. Transfer the weight to the back leg when throwing the left hook. Definitely tilting your upper body side to side when throwing punches. However power mainly comes from weight transfer.
    Watch how much weight Teofilo Stevenson puts weight on the front leg when he is throwing his right cross. He’s also standing straight on his front leg. Also look at how Salvador Sanchez transfers his body weight from leg to leg when throwing punch combinations.

  • @Chiburi
    @Chiburi 2 роки тому +4

    If you change the position of the legs in the kettlebell exercise, so that the other foot was planted on the floor, you would be able to complete the rotational movement and engage the back even more. Look at the very first movement of the Turkish Getup. Done correctly, it is a rotation of the upper back, supported by a push-pull from the rear shoulder and the support leg, diagonally through the body.
    There is also a certain way to insert the hand into the grip which leads to a straight and strong wrist like when punching, you could look into that as well. It will line up the joints and create structural support as opposed to muscular support.

    I feel like the problem with coaching is that students want easy answers, and they teach you to give them easy answers that kind of work over the more complicated and nuanced reality. There's a lot of things going on at once, and that's after basically removing all the terrain.
    It's like teaching someone to catch a ball. Your body does most of the work without you getting involved, it's not like you're doing the math.
    I switched from "proper" training to just ignoring everything that came out of a human brain and using what everything else uses and it's working a TON better, my back and knee pain is gone, and I'm way more resilient, but it's such a purely mental effort (mostly just overriding social mimicry, peer pressure, and the idea that overriding the body isn't terribly irresponsible) that I have no idea how you'd even START coaching something like that conventionally, because it's basically "Ignore everyone, including me and yourself, just charge into weird terrain until the old system starts taking back over" and that's a sentence, not a program.
    Anyway, no idea where that goes, just feels like maybe we lost track off some things in the process of becoming a civilization. I don't think people in the past hurt themselves so often falling from standing up and I don't know what it all means, just that something's off.

The idea was whipping my glove hand down with an acutely bent elbow and snapping the glove hand down like a whip while having the throwing hand start the whipping motion forward using the momentum of the other arm to add more velocity to it. To make it even better snap down at the was as you whip the throwing hand and you will add in a whole extra whipping motion with the throwing hand making it actually have a much higher velocity it is harder to control though has worked at getting the close plays to go in my favor though and definitely helpful but needs practice before being used in a game. All that to say I can say with my own experience that throwing the other side of the body back with the punch to rotate faster will definitely add more pop to a punch.

    When the whole body works together, any force that is going through the target will also push you back and you will need to stop yourself using your feet and your balance.

    If you look at/ask throwers (shot, jav), the lead side is very important. The front leg actively pushing back (we call it blocking) drives the rotation just as much as the back leg pushing forward. You also pull the lead arm back the same way that you describe here, although the degree to which it's done in throwing is obviously not going to be as applicable in fighting because it leaves a bigger opening.

    Might be worth looking into Silat drills for rotation training. The art has a big focus (well the version I studied) on punching from a ground or seated position. The only way to generate power when you can not use your hips is to rotate from the waist. Really helps to wake up those muscles, and adds a lot more power when you can properly connect that rotation to everything else.

      I’ll have to look into Silat drills. I like the seated punch idea. I study functional patterns for about 5 years and really understood better the importance of rotational force better

      @@sacredboxing yeah trying to generate power for a punch as well as parry one when sat cross legged on the floor with someone really forces awareness of rotation and what your back actually has to do. Also really plays well into the circular footwork and movements of the art but can be adapted by high level boxers.

    Another good back exercise to do when you don't have a pull-up bar, nor a row machine comes from the GOAT Bill "Superfoot" Wallace. He said that when he was traveling and staying in hotels, he'd wedge a towel under the bathroom door and place another on top of the door for grip, then do pull-ups.

    I have struggled with this notion a long time now. The truth is the force you put into the ground will dictate how quick that rotation is. So both are true. I think of my body as a grenade. My core is the explosive and my arms and legs are the shrapnel. The more force in the explosion, the more powerful the shrapnel.

    Agree your shoulder width takes account for a lot of power becaouse it acts as a lever, but a real place where power comes from is just a weight transfer the more weight shift the more rotation also. As a small detail like you said moving your head to the side it simply also adding more weight transfer

  • @TheNadohs
    @TheNadohs 2 роки тому +1

    I think the big difference with pulling the opposite shoulder to recruit the back muscles, isn't so much a huge raw power difference, though there is some more power certainly. Rather it improves the quality of the connection on the strike and allows you to absorb the recoil better. Thus it stabs and penetrants the target more making the transfer of energy more efficient and thus a more devistrating collision. Less of a slapping blow.

    Finaly somebody who understands how it actually works,punching power is TORQUE,you dont torque with your quads ,and only somewhat with your glutes ,the real power is in the torso,its the lat and chest,and its the serape complex(rhomboids,serratus anterior,obliques)deontay wilder has small legs,but his back?

    @Jaburu 2 роки тому

    it's obviously the whole chain of the movement that makes the power. it adds up. you can break up the chain into parts and isolate them and in all of them the fist will move. while most part of the chain kind of comes naturaly, the rotation doesn't. so it makes sense to teach people "it comes from the hips"
