matt_mcg Member Registered: 03/08/06 Posts: 113	It's pretty much all technique. My savate instructor is fairly light and not particularly muscular. Her punches however are pretty powerful -- it's all in the speed and technique. Getting the bodyweight behind the punch in the correct way. If the hip-rotation and body-movement isn't right then it's just not going to have the power -- no matter how strong the arm muscles.

Ayub heartbreaker, lifetaker Registered: 11/26/04 Posts: 825 Loc: London, UK	But being stronger will allow you take advantage of good technique all the better... A stronger core and back will allow you twist your body weight into a punch. Stronger legs will allow you to push off the ground and get your legs and whole body behind the punch. Increasing your strength will allow you to increase your power that way... _________________________ Cut me Mick!

Cord Prolific Registered: 01/13/05 Posts: 11399 Loc: Cambridge UK.	agreed. but wrist weights are not the way to go. Squats and weighted core work will do more for your punches than bench press and bicep curls ever could. _________________________ Don't let the door hit ya' where the good lord split ya' http://cord.mybrute.com
