j, but all punches involve some sort of hip twist or snap, do they not. i'm not familiar with martial arts training, but i would think the mechanics of a punch are very similar. maybe im wrong i dono, but it would seem to me a punch that is effective in a competition would need hip movement added to it, sure arm rotation as well, but without the hips, its an arm punch. wut do u think?

Speedkillz,
The technique J is talking about is far from an arm punch but doesnt involve him twist.
Basically its stepping foward, and dropping down at the same time.
Simple but very powerfulComment

punching i train of course has coordination of (twisting or coiling) the inguinal fold, waist, and entire pelvic region. every part of the body is engaged in the punch. the waist, inguinal fold, and pelvic girdle coordinate the upper body with the lower body. it is a must for everything. absolutely everything. one of the basic points i was making is that there is much more going on than simply turning the body into a punch. and there are different methods of doing so.
so, there indeed is a coiling action, but the waist area and inguinal fold is used differently than in the western side of boxing.
yes, stepping forward, but using the back leg as an anchor. in one movement, you are pressing down and yet pushing up and out at the same time. also, i'm not limited to using just one method. i can use a western boxing punching mechanics if i like, but i like the control of having the feet more planted and it is the way i am trained. you might think that it makes one less mobile, but there is another action involved which sets you up for another immediate attack. i can't explain everything, i don't want to give away too much.Basically its stepping foward, and dropping down at the same time.
i just like to get you guys thinking and hopefully help to improve your game.

hit a bag, without twisting your hips or legs then hit it while twisting your hips and legs, its a boxing basic it makes alot of difference, loads more powerComment
