ishinnick Member Registered: 12/25/02 Posts: 182 Loc: Ontario, Canada	That is a big question ! There is an article that you can get to from the Fighting Arts home page on the correct alighnment of a punch, this would be helpfull even if it is not exactly what you are looking for. Some other things you may wish to bear in mind is that a punch does not just come from the arm, you need to put some hip movement into it to get full power and the correct alighnment of your body makes a difference as well

JKogas Prolific Registered: 01/25/03 Posts: 10813 Loc: North Carolina	Find this book then "Boxer's Startup" Here's a link to amazon's page on this: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/det...der#reader-link Check it out. If you "really" want to learn, you'll get some referrence material like this. Better yet, find a good video on the subject. www.ringside.com has some cheap ones that are right on target! -John

Anonymous Unregistered	A punchs power starts at the foot and is generated up the leg, hip , arm then hand. For the punch to be of maximum effective ness ther needs to be a pull push corrilation between the opposite side of your body. If there is no upper body torque or pull push dymamic occuring then you are just putting your arm out.
