How do you drink water? - By drinking it. This guy - No! Now imagine you drinking it! Aight

[@thebangkoklion7654]

If I asked you to extend your left arm out, wouldn't consider it a jab? The different is knowing what proper muscled to move and how to move them properly (biomechanics) and intent.

[@sky9k-unlimited]

​@@thebangkoklion7654 I know you are trying to help new guys maybe. But you do realise that your entire video literally does nothing to help anyone right? Plus now you say that - left punch is a jab. Yes it is. Nobody learns the entire mechanism from the start. All you had to show was the basic stance, and the movement + where the power comes from. The power comes from the legs, then hips, then it gets transferred to the fists. It's all on the rotation. Repetition teaches the body itself. And once you have practiced one single move enough number of times, you will automatically start improvising and improving it little by little, that too unconsciously most of the times. Knowing which muscles to move is all well and good, but when someone is starting out, or has no experience in combat, then that person will never be able to feel which muscles are moving in which movement. You just gotta teach them the proper way to do that movement. The body itself adapts and then the person will himself realize as to what is going on. This happens only after a certain number of repetitions, not from the very start.

Maybe try to watch my very latest video and maybe that will help string things together for you. THIS is video focused on a very specific teaching method.

How do you "throw" your hip - by turning it, what a ridiculous semantic argument

[@thebangkoklion7654]

Yes but my point is that that one can simply turn their hips without knowing how to put force or snap to it. It's like saying how do you walk fast = by walking, but there's a difference. This is not a semantic argument but an approach to different ways to teaching as not everyone has the same learning curve.

[@bigheadrhino]

I would add that you don’t need to worry slowing down your hip to where your upper body can move at the same time, you can actually move the hip as fast as you want and the elastic forces of the muscles and tendons of your torso will actually force your upper body to catch up, making for a very powerful “whipping” action. You can see this with some fighters in slow mo like Alex Pereira’s left hook, where the hip leads and the the upperbody catches up.

[@thebangkoklion7654]

Unfortunately in my 17 years of bring s coach, there has been some beginner's who's body coordination is poor and they don't understand the kinetic chain. You'd think that by simple doing that action, that everything will come into place but unfortunately not. A coach's joh is to provide a clear and concise instructions even if it means using the simplest layman's terms

Same thing 😂

[@thebangkoklion7654]

Let me ask you this. If I told you to simply extend your left or lead arm, would that be called a jab? Anyone can "turn their hip" but without internet and biomechanics then it doesn't really work

[@stmartinhk]

Well, I am not sure what was being said here. Are you saying to not use the hips when you punch. If so, then, well, that is just falt out wrong. But maybe you are not saying that. The elements of hitting involve a tradeoff between power and positioning. "Turning" the hips (in fact weightchanging), not only puts your body weight into a punch but also changes your body position. There are two basic things to consider here, siting on our punches and using the contraleteral shoulder to produce power: 1. Sitting on a punch. In this case, in this video, the student needs to begin by bending his knees more. If he bends his knees, he will be able to put his body weight - through the hips - into the punch, which involves "turning" the hips. You can't shift your body weight effectively unless you shift your weight through your hips as you move your body weight from one leg to the other, whether you are going forward for backward. There are four basic hip/hand positions in, say, a right foot forward stance: i) right hand punching, right hip weighting/moving/advancing forward onto the right foot ii) left hand punching with right hip weighting/moving/advancing forward on the right foot iii) right hand punching with left hip weighting/moving/retreating back towards the left (rear) foot iv) left hand punching with the left hip weighting/moving/retreating back towards the left/rear foot. These four "positions" are mirrored on the left side with left hand and foot forward. This use of body weight is very important bcs it helps us avoid arm-punching. At first, these hip movements seem very large and a bit clumsy, but ofc with practise they become so small that a lay person can scarcely even see them. They become like a hip-flick. This is very important if we are going to generate power at close quarters. 2. Contralateral rotation (e.g. if you hit with your right hand, you pull back with your left shoulder, kind of like starting a lawnmower). This is one of the most neglected aspects of hitting. Try it out and notice the difference. It is huge.

[@thebangkoklion7654]

I really appreciate this response and in no way shape or form did I say anything about NOT turning the hips. What most people are missing here is that this is a teaching approach. One can simply say "stretch your left arm but that doesn't make it a jab. This video is being seen a lot from a practioner's point of view but one needs to understand that not everyone has the same learning curve. Understanding biomechanics can be tricky for non athletic people so it's my job as a coach to teach it in a broken down, layman's term type of approach. It's the same thing as whenmost beginner practioners punch on one side they only focus on that side not understanding that the opposite side of the body is as important to move accordingly with the rotation.

[@igorpotocnik7231]

Good explanation, I'd just offer one remark to your second point. I wouldn't try to pull front shoulder to the back by itself, but rather use legs and hips for this. First you rotate your back leg and simultaneously shift weight to the front leg and thus rotate hips counterclockwise and simply chain this rotation with rotation of torso and shoulders. No need to force any particular rotation because they happen by themselves and you don't risk injuries this way.

[@JamesMarshall-bc9nn]

Different systems teach different details. Most people who have trained for long enough (6 months) will recognise this as bullshit though. By the time you’ve drilled a technique for it to come out properly in a dynamic situation, your body forms a kinetic chain that whips the technique from foot rotation through to arm extension. The hip will automatically form a link in this chain and won’t need to be over emphasised.

[@thebangkoklion7654]

17 years of being a coach and learning from so many types of people and the way they understand things is why this video exists. Some ppl, weather you believe it or not, especially when they've never played sports in their lives has really really bad coordination. Shit, I even had one guy who pivots his front foot when throwing a cross. Drilling is always key, but you can drill the same wrong thing over and over and the outcome will still be wrong.

[@DiscoVan]

Why did he add a telegraph to the second rep tho?

[@frankiecrocker]

You don't teach transference of energy from the top down. Transference of energy starts from the ground up through the rear foot and through the leg before it reaches the hips. Closed chain movements generates more kinetic energy due to the power of the bigger muscles in the lower body being transferred up through the hips, through the arm, the punch--if it lands or not--and into the front leg that quickly becomes the back leg as the fighter shifts to avoid a counter putting him in position to deliver another strike utilizing the same energy source. By utilizing the hips alone (open chain) generates nominal extra power. In fact, using that technique, a fighter can land punches round after round and leave the fight to the judges decision.

[@thebangkoklion7654]

I WASNT teaching transfer of energy from the top down at ALL. That wasn't the point of the video at all. I'm addressing a problem of some students that I've encountered that even after I've gone through the kinetic chain of movement with them, they simply cannot put it together right away. But by wording it or explaining it a little differently, it can help them understand the movements better.

[@AllOrNothingBusiness]

Not gonna lie I’ve definitely rocked people hard without turning my hip if you got enough power it will work

[@willemakkermans4067]

So basically don't "step", don't "shift your weight", don't "rotate" the hips, nor the shoulders, don't "sink" in the legs, don't "extend" through the joints, etc. Basically, don't just "punch". Instead, just punch.

[@bestlobjagamer348]

hard time understanding here

[@TheMatrixofMeaning]

I always see a punch as a full body rotation like a GI Joe punch. You want to rotate the shoulder as fast as possible towards the target and accelerate the fist towards the target so that it lands while the whole body is moving at it's fastest Im a small guy but I leave huge dents in the bag as it makes a loud thud and shakes in place.

[@stmartinhk]

It depends on what kind of fighting you are training for, but I suppose that you know that it is not wise to overly rotate bcs you canfing yourself giving up your outside line to an opponent. This is more important in mma and self defense ofc.

[@thebangkoklion7654]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaOrd2l-eMila68si=QHGF0ak-xWPLAScF

[@TheMatrixofMeaning]

@@stmartinhk It's a very fast and subtle movement. You don't actually turn your whole torso all that much. I practice boxing, MMA jiu jitsu classes and we do Muay Thai. It's the speed of rotation and the timing of landing the punch not the amount of movement. I can throw what looks like an arm punch to others and still it will be a full body movement with feet planted, torso rotation, sitting down on it and all. It's so fast and subtle you don't even see any of that happening. It just looks like my fist went straight to the target

[@andrewtanczyk4009]

What about just transferring the weight to the front leg instead?

[@fastfuriousmark]

Facts but I idk about just hip is involved for maximum power but like you said some weight goes to that front leg too. So then it sets up the left hook and shift the weight back

[@HumanAction1]

Shifting your weight to the front leg compromises mobility and balance, and leaves you open to a counter.

@@HumanAction1 go tell that to the Eastern European boxers who box like that all the time. Or three time Cuban gold medalist Teofilo Stevenson.

@@fastfuriousmark exactly. Without shifting the weight forward there is no left hook. Unless he is just throwing counter punches and not committing. So it depends. However proper weight transfer is ultimately where the power would come from.
