Is this why we call it "throwing" a punch? You initiate the movement of your fist but as it flies the muscles no longer drive it. The impact is the only difference
First video I've seen explains punch power well. Of course there are many other factors but you nailed it as most important. Usually I see people just start naming rotational exercises to do. Great video
@e3p1t32 it's more about weight transfer, you do rotate, but transfering weight from one foot to the other while rotating is what really powers a punch. It isn't a complete transfer, but it should leave your form in a stable framed position as the punch hits, and you should be able to transfer your weight right back out of it for the next punch. You almost dig your weight into the ground at the same time the punch snaps. It takes a lot of practice to have your whole body act in unison to minimize energy loss in the kinetic chain and still have it be snappy, but those are the kinds of punches that are thrown when people are really banging from a stable base. Other stuff sets up for those kill punches.
Only yesterday I was wondering why you haven’t posted. And I open youtube, your video is first in recommendations. 😊 Also, yesterday only my coach said that I hit like an old lady so I feel your video is for me😂
The answer is watching elite strikers and racking up mindful repetitions of elite strikers, including repetitions of non-standard punches. The problem there is staying mindful, which is where coaches (and especially sparring partners!) come in for most people. But the majority of learning must be done solo because the difference between an elite strike and a merely decent strike is milliseconds and, uh, milli-inches and coaches can't see/feel into your body. The real thing is to enjoy the process, slow down and relax and be willing to be wrong as long as you're getting better. Tortoise vs hare strategy. It's how you get those old martial arts masters who have been training for decades and aren't punch drunk or hobbled with injuries, but i)are instead the best versions of themselves they can be (spiritual, mental, and physical). Look at the Muay Thai legends, hundreds of fights and still sharp and crisp because though they train hard fighting was their entire life and they never rushed it. Don't learn how to strike, *become* a striker.
I personally am a professional athlete and when I did several strength training and lost aerobic resistance it was much easier to regain than strength and anaerobic endurance
The relaxation/tension thing always reminds me of that old kungfu trope; snatching the stone from the masters palm. To snatch the stone, you basically have to perform a jab. The muscles only tensing as you clench your fist to hold the stone, like at the point of impact with a punch.
I've noticed that I'm always really tense when sparring slowing me down and making me miss most of my jabs, when in the bag my jabs seem to be quick and sharp
@@picklerick8971ik what u mean. In the anime ippo, takamura explains the jab as catching a leaf which is falling to the ground. You only clench at the end. Am i right?
@azeem9344 I used to be always clenched since I was nervous when sparring, now I am starting to let my hands loose, since I know I got some power I tried to just hit really hard but now I see it's better to sacrifice some power for quickness and sharpness
Force = mass x acceleration. Power = work/time. Work = force x distance. So power = (mass x acceleration x distance)/time. So if you’re bigger and have long arms, and punch from your guard to the end of your punch at the shortest amount of time possible, then that will generate the most power
@xRoid1 thanks for educating me. I had a loose understanding on the topic. I agreed with the overall message of the video and understood the concept from experience in training /practice, but i got hung up on semantics. I offer my sincerest apology to you all(especially to the content creator) for my own ignorance. 🙏
@@KingJinzo2125This is not always true, as a teacher can be a McDojo artist & send you into the world thinking you are ready for self defense when in reality you aren't.
I don't punch. I'm a Judoka. We need to explode the whole body at once. You will not see that ability often on a lower than state level. On a national level everybody can. (germany :) I started Judo at the age of ten. Our coach was 2. European Master, German Master. It took 8 years for me to come even close to his speed. And an other six to reach him. He was getting older :) So far personal. In Judo you can easily see what this video is about -> the difference between intermediate skilled and high skilled is so huge!! - simply because so many muscles are involved - all coordinated to the same intention - in a very complex move. Watch Shohei Ono - you don't need to know Judo to see
Punching is really more like a bow shooting an arrow and then the anticipated reactive activation of the supportive system in pushing direction in the moment of impact just like your legs react when jumping down from heights but with lesser giving in. Bruce Lee's one inch punch is both activation phases brought closely together while he demonstrated an extremly fast initial activation of "drawing the bow and releasing the arrow" and if you saw him doing one armed pushups you can be sure that his supportive system worked and if you saw him doing "dragon flags" you can be sure that his abdominal region was one powerhouse of throwing arm that didn't allowed any slack, just to name some aspects. So I think it should be called "shooting a punch" rather than "throwing" it, unless your are a really extremly heavy and strong boxer then you can punch like a going uphill steam engine, easy to avoid but extremly painful if it hits you, and still this engine would benefit from learning and training how to shoot properly ✌️
while you should absolutely have guidance, exploring your body and experimenting on your own time helps you build mind muscle connections and bodily awareness/coordination, and you ultimately are in a better position to learn when the coach corrects you
This all day. Presuming someone isn't a natural athlete, their learning regime should actually look similar to the double peak graph shown in this vid. The first peak is going to a gym, mostly to experience just how little we know and to see what true experience and talent look and feel like. Then the trough in the middle as we take these lessons and train solo (shadowboxing and watching fights with an eye for learning) for a year or more, then we go back into gym environments to hone our understanding against real opposition and teach the new joins showing up on their first peak. The solo training is also extremely valuable for having very low injury rates, something that gym environments can never truly promise.
Just one word FASCIA. If you have been training for a long time and never heard that word you've been just wasting your time. If you have heard about fascia but did not pay attention you are an inept man. Utilizing fascia in movement is the key for Speed.
@@ovideoarkans7982 well The title doesnt say, “ if watch this video, you’ll automatically punch faster.” It says “ punching speed the science explained “ You can get faster with knowledge. You 🫵 on the other hand read what you wanted to read and made a lame joke.

Not the way i punch. You tense up your muscles at impact which adds tons of power. Same thing bruce lee taught.
@@davidjones8043so we tense the muscle right before our punch lands right ? Before that our muscles are relaxed ?
@@Aiguy1905 correct
you need to be able to go from fully relaxed to fully tensed as fast and powerful as possible@@Aiguy1905
@@Aiguy1905 Yup.

I mean isn’t punching power the result of rotational mechanics? Like the rate of force development is developed through a rotational shape
its one element, bones structure, leverage also. Its not something that can be so simplified as do this exercise@@int0the3p1t32

some of us have guns.. 😂 croach!
I learned to do it by myself though. Practicing karate punches help to get the timing since you know to tension by the end of the rotation
I love slightly more depth videos like this. glad this came up on recommended. Great video
So the answer is to train punching with experienced boxers and coaches nearby

And please tell me if the answer is actually researched or not
Cardio is much easier to regain than strength, but that also depends on the person

3:50 power is work/time. What you gave was momentum.
Work = force * distance
force * distance / time = force * velocity
Power = force * velocity
You showed Joe Joyce and mentioned speed the irony
No… that was power
So after you learn the proper technique by your boxing coach...its just repetition (?)
Yes, everything in most martial arts after you learn them is repetition until it's second nature
Power is force. Force=mass×velocity.
You said "power=force×velocity" by mistake, sir.
Force = mass x acceleration. Power = work/time. Work = force x distance. So power = (mass x acceleration x distance)/time. So if you’re bigger and have long arms, and punch from your guard to the end of your punch at the shortest amount of time possible, then that will generate the most power

Punching speed: the key to beating old ladies in the ring! 💥👵

Private classes in Okinawa, matsumura, it was called internal power.
This "fast moving chain of single words" type of subtitles is tiring.
