There are a number of factors, mental, physical and psychological which contribute towards improved punching.
1. Balance:
One of the training benefits of practicing Boxing and martial arts like Judo and Jujitsu is the emphasis on how to maintain good balance. You cannot deliver powerful strikes when you are off balance and being hit while off balance by your opponent will affect your chances of winning.
2. Stance:
Directly related to balance is having a strong and solid stance. It is a known fact, that if your stance is weak, your punches and strikes are weak. Power comes from delivering strikes from a strong base. If you imagine a Pyramid, the shape starts from a wide base with a massive foundation and that works slowly towards the centre top point. This is similar to how your stance should look.
3. Waist / Hip Rotation:
One of the keys to developing more powerful punches and strikes is learning how to turn your hips and waist in coordination with your strikes. Your instructor should be able to guide you in this area. (Use the club locater on the right)
4. Speed Combined with Mass:
In general, it is true that the faster the punch the more powerful it will be. Imagine dropping a coin onto a table, it makes a rattling sound and bounces before it stops still. Now look at a coin falling from a tall building like a skyscraper, the coin would literally land and shatter a few meters of pavement; it would go through the solid pavement deep into the ground because of the force and momentum and speed gets faster as it falls. However, if speed alone were the key to powerful punches, then lightweight boxers would have the hardest and most powerful punches. What they miss is like in the coin example, is the importance of mass. The fact is, even though the heavyweight boxer's punches may not have the speed of a lightweight boxer, the heavyweight's punch will be more powerful because his mass, combined with his own level of speed, is what produces the most powerful punch. Speed along with your body mass and momentum when delivering your punches and strikes should always be combined.
5. Relax before the strike:
If you look at the best punchers in karate and boxing, you will notice they all have the ability to relax their muscles the instant before they strike. One of the techniques for students is to relax just before delivering their strikes. Bruce Lee would use his Chi; he would relax his entire body and then move his relaxed hand towards the opponents face and then turn it into a fist last minute (One inch punch) one inch away. The result is he is moving his arm so fast and at the last minute he turns it into a force of a fist and all his Chi energy goes to his fist, his entire body weight and power has been shifted into his hand.
6. Practice striking heavy bags, punch bags and focus pads:
One of the reasons boxers are known to have the most powerful punches is quite simple. They all practice actually hitting something - excluding shadow boxers. They hit the big bag, focus pads, speed ball and body shields all the time. The simple fact is - practicing to punch the air is not enough - you need to be punching a punch bag to improve - air punching is not a gaining activity.
7. Mental focus on speed and power:
There is nothing mystical about delivering powerful strikes. There is no "magical internal power" involved in developing speed and power. By following scientific training principles, combined with mental focus on becoming faster and more powerful, anyone can develop more speed and power in their strikes.
8. Proper fist alignment with punch bags:
Some have used science to show that the fist should end up in a 45-degree angle at the end of the punch for proper fist alignment. Our own limited research, it appears the 45-degree angle punch is more physiologically sound and more powerful. As we believe in striking bags to develop power, we find the 45-degree angle punch faster, stronger and more natural to throw than a full turn reverse punch. Since each person is different, practice various methods of punching. You will discover the truth yourself. When you have finished the learning guide go and more info on the angle bag.
9 & 10. Winning mind set is the winning side:
The most powerful weapon you have is your mind. The Japanese Samurai understood the importance of maintaining the proper mind-set for battle. Contrary to what some believe, the winning mind-set is not constantly thinking about winning.
The Samurai knew he only had three results of a battle.
* He could defeat his enemy because of his superior skill.
* He could be beat by a superior enemy.
* He and his enemy were of equal skill and they would kill each other at the same moment.
Following this philosophy, the Samurai felt he was two thirds dead already. In real life self-defense, when great bodily harm or death is involved, you must be as ruthless and violent as required to defeat your assailant. Delivering weak and ineffective strikes in a battle is having a losing mind-set. Yes, we are all familiar with Master Funakoshi's rule that "There is no first strike in Karate." However, we know that a well-trained experienced Karate Ka can sometimes sense an attack the moment it occurs and can counter-strike before his attacker can land a blow.
Watch and Listen to our conclusion
Lets be pleased that you have finished reading this article on self-defense, and that you have learned and seen a new thinking behind fighting techniques, it has now given you something to think about and be more focused on in fighting punching techniques in future!

The Berlin Boxing Club $9.99 Fourteen-year-old Karl Stern has never thought of himself as a Jew. But to the bullies at his school in Naziera Berlin, it doesn't matter that Karl has never set foot in a synagogue or that his family doesn't practice religion. Demoralized by relentless attacks on a heritage he doesn't accept as his own, Karl longs to prove his worth to everyone around him. So when Max Schmeling, champion boxer and German national hero, makes a deal with Karl's father to give Karl boxing lessons, Karl sees it as the perfect chance to reinvent himself. A skilled cartoonist, Karl has never had an interest in boxing, but as Max becomes the mentor Karl never had, Karl soon finds both his boxing skills and his art flourishing. But when Nazi violence against Jews escalates, Karl must take on a new role: protector of his family. Karl longs to ask his new mentor for help, but with Max's fame growing, he is forced to associate with Hitler and other Nazi elites, leaving Karl to wonder where his hero's sympathies truly lie. Can Karl balance his dream of boxing greatness with his obligation to keep his family out of harm's way? |
