power
summary
Turning the hips through a punch so the power comes from the ground rather than the arm.
steps
- • Stand in stance with your hands on your hips.
- • Pivot your back foot as if putting out a cigarette, and let the hip turn with it.
- • Feel that the turn starts at the foot, moves through the hip, and only then reaches the shoulder.
- • Add the arm last. If the shoulder turns before the hip, you are throwing an arm punch.
