POWER
by: JC

Good advice but some fighters just hit harder than others.If you hit hard it does not help if you can not hit your target.You need to practice these technic,s with a sparring partner that is using the same advice you recieved to do the same thing to you. That is only way to learn the sweet science.

JR'S Boxing Training
by: Anonymous

Hello my names is JR. I'm here willing to train kids and adults how to box. I will show you guys and girls the fundamentals of boxing. I will teach you guys n girls how to have a good boxing stance and body movement. I like training people differently than other coaches do because other coaches want more money in order for you to learn more things. The best thing I like training people is footwork and defense drills before knowing how to throw any punches. Everyone can throw punches at you but if you have good footwork and defense skill you will be a harder target to hit. Boxing is 100%percent mental and physical. You can do boxing for self defense, fitness and competition. I like doing competitions because it really helps improve your training. So you want to try out please give me a call at (619)266-2857/(619)292-3155 or email at bigdog_bk_420@yahoo.com

punching power
by: Anonymous

In my comment about having both feet facing the target when punching has garnered alot of responses. To clarify your feet ONLY face the target at the point of impact,you then resume your normal fighting position. I assumed that any well informed person would know this without being told. In this I was wrong.

all the above is good advise, here is some more..
by: nick pamps

boxing in the art of the kinetic chain. The punches power starts at the ball of feet amplifed at the hips (hip twist)and followed through at shoulders and ending at the fist. this allows your whole body's power to be behind the punch. the position of the feet is depening on type of punch, but keeping your feet staight does not help with a fighters balance at all. as well as keeping your feet straight whist throwing a punch does not assist in the power of the punch because it does not follow the kinetic chain principle. for example if you have an orthodox stance and need to through a quick left hook, point your toes(left foot) at a slight angle medially ( towards the mid line of your body) push off with the ball of your feet amplify the movement with the hip twist and follow through with the rest of the body.this will give you a quick powerful hook with out losing your balance.

waist twist = punching power
by: jaywhite

I can confirm that punching power comes mainly from the amount of waist twist or "turning into the punch". How do I know? A fighter who fought Antonio Cervantes for the world lightweight title, beat world champion Saoul Mamby twice, and fought Esteban DeJesus, the only fighter to beat Roberto Duran as a lightweight told me so. He said simply "Power comes from twisting your waist"

Wrong
by: Antony

Your right about the hips but if both of your feet are facing your opponent your more prone to get off balance if you miss a punch and your feet dont have enough ankle space to use footwork alsoyour feet have to be slightly diagnal so that your body naturaly twist and will be turned around to give less space for your opponent to throw a punch at your body

With the Jab
by: Anonymous

If you step off with your rear foot when throwing the jab, you will find the hip twist to be more natural. For example, if your stance is orthodox and you are throwing a left jab - it would be initiated by your right leg pushing off or stepping off as they say. The twist action of the body wherein you turn your left hip will occur easily as part of the jab sequence just before your fist slams into the target. Try it this way rather then stepping forward with your left foot (as many of us have been wrongly taught). The left foot will go forward, of course, but only naturally since the who jab movement began with your rear leg in the first place.
