    In almost any sport, speed and its cousin power have always been one of the most sought-after attributes and a major deciding factor in victory.
    Whether we’re talking about mental speed, such as capitalizing on a window of opportunity, or physical speed, which is delivering the muscular action once that window of opportunity has been identified-as is the case in combat sports such as boxing, kickboxing, and MMA.
    The topic of this video will be the latter, more specifically, striking speed.

    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

      Not the way i punch. You tense up your muscles at impact which adds tons of power. Same thing bruce lee taught.

      @lethals117 3 месяца назад

      @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.

    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.

    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

  • @haukeachilles9030
    @haukeachilles9030 3 месяца назад +1

    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 ✌️

    • @justinkennedy3004
      @justinkennedy3004 2 месяца назад +1

      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.

      @xRoid1 3 месяца назад +1

      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

    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.
