Power is NOT Important When Throwing a Punch

[@SunshineRenegadeTV]

Power is very important when throwing a punch. It's how you generate the power. Power does not have to equal tense.

[@jamesmatthews6715]

Adam Donovan will shadow boxing increase power and speed just wondering I’ve been practicing for about 3 months now so still a very new beginner and I’m noticing that By instinct I’m always keeping the hand that’s not throwing the punch high protecting my chin

[@Devastator21]

@@jamesmatthews6715 use a training partner or just a punching bag

[@johnashiru3952]

I’d say shadow boxing helps you build the mechanics to throw punches with both power and speed. But heavy bags, resistance bands and pads are the best way.

the key to a strong punch is to be relaxed to use ur whole body use gravity in ur favor and tense ur muscle right on impact takes a lot of practice

[@jtconner8514]

Learning to pivot on your feet correctly throws your body weight into a punch as well.

[@objectiveopinions2515]

I do that naturally so...

[@ClearChoiceMethodology]

you can't use gravity to your advantage when you're opponent is taller than you or even your same height, it works oppositely, but yes gravity can do a lot of damage in certain situations but those situations don't happen often. I can't believe the amount of people that actually think they have fighting knowledge, it's hilarious. I actually fight and train every day, youtube has so many wannabes.

well and thats totally right - and also important because of the fist - you ll break it if you dont clinch it before impact but it is even better to be loose all the time and throw palms

John Constantin palms are very effective and reduce the risk of injury...a hard karate chop to the neck is often overlooked but it is one of the most effective strikes.

[@zerothehero123]

A hard shot to the neck hurts like hell! I'd like to warn though that using palmstrikes doesn't mean you shouldn't be cautious of technique. If you hit higher then the bottom of your palm you can hurt your wrist.

Very refreshing to see fight info videos with a balanced approach, filled with practical advice. Shane is very professional and I don't think there's a single video from this channel that casts doubt over his skill and knowledge. Of course, these tips should be paired with regular training... but if you're someone who doesn't train and you find yourself in a fight, perhaps something from a FightTips video pops into your head and saves your life. That'd be a great video for the channel: a true story of someone using Shane's tips in a fight!

[@Magani79]

This guy knows his shit

[@datboi5979]

Benacot he must not know that it's power that sends the chin spinning, and that's what knocks them out, normally people saying power doesn't matter are people who have a weak punch and aren't a born puncher.

[@bensonmutuvi8429]

Dat Boi exactly you didn’t watch the full video headass. Shut up and watch the whole thing before judging

[@ceco99]

You obviously stupid, does your punch becomes stronger when you push after the impact? No.

[@bewing77]

One thing I think is important to think about if in a "real" fight, where you don't have gloves, and to a certain degree in MMA with grappling gloves: Not tensing the fist until last moment is of course sound advice, _but_ if the opponent moves into your punch when without gloves you can seriously hurt your hands if you have waited to tense your fists. It's easy to underestimate just how hard a human head is and how badly you can hurt your hands by hitting it with a sloppy fist. Actually, in a street fight it may even be prudent to not strike with your fist at all, using an open hand instead. Being ex military we trained strictly to never strike with our fists in hand to hand fights since you really can't afford broken fingers or hand bones which will make you a crappy shot. This is a special situation of course since the opponent you may end up in a hand to hand fight with may well be wearing a helmet, body armor, lot's of equipment etc which makes the risk of hurting your hands even greater, and you will really never score a knockout in a situation like that anyways.

One of my TaeKwonDo teachers said "you've gotta be relaxed when punching, because relaxation is speed, and speed is power"

Shane is definitely correct on this one, people. I lost count of how many times I quickly tapped someone and hurt them. These are Cruiserweights, and Heavyweights, by the way.

Jesus walked on water, and turned water into wine. Be like Jesus and drink from his Word, and you will never thirst again. Now, back to what creates the power of a strike - any strike, hand, knee, elbow, head butt, foot. It's a combination of being relaxed before the moment of impact and being tense, only at the moment of impact, as when, for example, chopping wood with a heavy axe, or hatchet, or as when someone cracks a whip, loosely holding the handle of the whip, until the moment it has neared its intended point, then grasping tightly at impact. Along the way, in the example of the whip, the whip is propelled most quickly and powerfully by offloading the weight of the body, say, for a reverse, sidearm whip, much like someone throwing a frisbee does, when they are attempting to throw one a very long distance - as when one throws a reverse ridgehand strike to someone's kidneys, rotating their hips into the strike, and also, transfering the weight from one foot to the other, and offloading it at impact - POP! Visit my site for more on such principles and concepts, though, this is just the tip of the iceberg. And keep in mind, never did I say anything about such nonsense as Chi power or aligning Chakras or other BS. No. It's physics as applied to the human body, along with an understanding of how we are wired, neuromuscularly, in exercise science called Kinesiology - the study of movement!

[@BWater-yq3jx]

Fully agree with avoiding excess tension. The demo wasn't quite apples vs apples though... Driving with the hips on the tense ones but not on the loose ones.

[@stoleurmoney]

look at this beast... doing big things Shane ... keep it up my man

[@annoyed707]

Good advice. All that excess tension does is make it harder to adapt your movement and increase the chance that you telegraph the technique, while wasting energy. Your arm weighs as much or more than a baseball bat, so it's capable of serious damage without the extra muscle effort or even without the body in it.

[@urosmilasinovicspd2125]

One thing is, GGG uses the hole kinetic chain to get the power via fascia up to through his chest and then he throws a punch. IT looks stiff but it his muscles contract in the proper sequence(pushing through the forefoot with the glutes, rotating with the contraction of glutes,while rotating pulling the arm slightly back and once the rotation of the body is done then throw the punch(I simplified the explanation, so its not the most accurate)). Power is important, but I understand what you wanted to say. As Connor said , timming beats speed and accuracy beats power.

[@jeremycheadle75]

thanks for sharing your information.I went to first degree blk blt in Kenpo Karate being tense the full time and it was hell!I'm just glad someone got this knowledge out to the public.Thank you very much,bro.

[@DeagleBeagle]

Speed is twice as important as "power." Kinetic energy is squared with velocity (speed + direction) and then multiplied by 1/2 then by weight. 1/2massxspeedsquared. That is why high speed crashes do so much more damage. Twice as fast punch = 4x harder hit. 3x faster punch = 9x harder hit.

[@exe.m1dn1ght]

[@09anasselharrak]

dezinfectant tru tru tru

[@urivan9613]

There is a very important thing which is critical if you want to deliber a good punch and that's DISTANCE. You want to extend your arms to generate maximum power. The combination of proper technique, balance and distance will give anyone great results but you have to drill a lot (hard and smart work every day) and then practice it in sparring.

I can prove this. One of our "best" varsity football players asked me if he could punch me as hard as he could in the chest. I knew it might hurt but I wanted to gauge his strength and test myself. He threw a sloppy horrid punch and it didnt even hurt that bad. Strength dont mean shit

[@francoismorin8721]

I know this is a old video, but it is so true. I had this same wrong conception of looking for that 1 punch knock out, especially from my modern karate background.

[@mrlobster1287]

someone shoulda told mike tyson all this when he was knocking all those people out

[@pulpogaraje]

It's amazing that the time came out to almost exactly half of the first punches. It's because when you tense all of your muscles, half of your muslces (flexors) are actually working AGAINST you. If your tricep is extending your arm, your bicep is actually trying to pull it back in. Tensing your muscles doesn't somehow give your arm more mass, it just makes you half as efficient.

[@edwardbaker1089]

You move a lot like Conor Mcregor. When shadowboxing it almost translates into a weird looking waddle, but it allows mobility when striking. I have known this since I began training, but after watching this video I think I should take a second look at my technique and how im sparring/doing pad work. Thanks for the great video!

[@danielmurray04]

very interesting and important topic... also, always going for a head shot and a knock out, is a very ridged way of looking at self defense.... take someones fists out, strike arms, limbs in general, takes your opponents mind to where you want it, makes them hesitant in using their weapons, you cause serious pain in the lead limb... that will likely cause then to change stance and even pull their guard in tighter, it gives them something else to think about : ) well said, a huge amount can be done in 2 seconds.... as you have said, the big haymaker etc is a bit like a birthday present to an experience fighter/martial artist.

[@3695reddragon]

[@DanielRamBeats]

[@seniknine]

You gotta let people know that, when shadow boxing, you don't wanna aim for speed. It's used for focusing on technique, not so much about how fast you can throw a combo. Slow, methodical strikes, thoroughly moving throw a kicks motions, making sure that accuracy/balance/stance are all being used appropriately. Grant it you do have years and years of experience so, I'm not doubting you in anyway(fans please don't kill me in comments for this). But, for amateurs and whatnot, the focus is to practice your technique through shadowboxing. Maybe do a short video on the effectiveness of shadowboxing and how it can be applied? Dunno if you have awready... Just thought I'd mention that as my Muay Thai instructor has taught me to shadowbox with calm, methodical movements.

[@jamesmoore1023]

good teaching shane

[@markusvak9045]

For those who do not understand the sweet science of boxing: the fast punches he throws generate a lot of power because he is using his body weight and feet as leverage. Therefore, every time he is throwing his right cross, his body weight is behind it! And obviously if u know common physics, mass x speed = impact . That is why they train their foot work, shoulders, and core. The power comes from those three, not your bicep and forearm muscles. If you tense up like that, you telegraph the punch so easily to the opponent. how can you hit someone if they see the punch coming a mile away?

Great insight. You look pretty hard to counter as well. I always keep muscles relaxed because ik it's agility and speed matters more in fight however I never knocked anyone out while relaxed. I knocked people out when I tensed all my muscles. Tense muscles somewhat decreases speed and accuracy but increases power behind punch.

[@TheLawrence05]

T´his is exactly what Bruce Lee used to do. Nice and lose and straight dense when he made contact. Stay calm in a fight watch the eyes all the time. Footwork never forget that. But at the end always avoid the find. You dont wanna risk to go in coma and probably lose all you have or even worst send someone in coma and destroy his life. Get a leash on your ego.

You are missing the pivot in your feet. Thats why you can throw your punches so fast. Punching power comes from loosed body mechanics and perfect technique but one must pivot with the feet so all the body weight transfer in the punch.The only muscle that must be strong and tense is the calf of the leg.Other muscles must be loosed.

[@nNicok]

I think he is breathing through his nose when he punches it keeps your mouth shut so you don't break your teeth or jaw when you get punched in the chin plus it increases circulation, blood oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, and improves overall lung volumes breathing through your nose has many benefits aside from the cons from mouth breathing.

Power is really important for punches

[@SantaWithGuns]

What about sluggers? They don't all have speed but can be very effective.

[@erinmurphy6993]

Normally, Shane seems to use an MMA stance that is a little wider and a little more weighted to the rear to protect against takedowns. If you watch Muay Thai fighters they tend to be much more upright so they can use their shins and elbows to block more effectively. In a self defense scenario the typical MMA stance is perhaps too open up top because MMA fighters rely on submissions for wins and you need your hands out to sprawl and throw your opponent to the ground. In a self defense scenario you should be a boxer on top and a karateka on the bottom and you should know how to scissor quickly into the BJJ guard because your not dealing with people in the same size or skill category like in competitive fighting. They may be larger or faster than you so sprawling could be useless. Krav Maga and Kempo are good arts to learn for self defense in terms of stance and footwork as well as diversity and application of techniques.

no hard feelings budy, but you are wrong if you're saying conor mcgregor have bad basics. Conor has very good basic of boxing, the reason why his hands are low is because he is a counter puncher, so he can properly see his opponent movement. He is indeed a very good counter puncher, 13 second knock out on jose aldo is not " lucky punch" it's his counter punch with really great timing, very good accuracy & his very good fundamentals of boxing.

the truth is... when training you must punch your hardest so then you get the feel that you are working out... if you dont you are just going to not improve your actual power... power is nothing without speed... i can be tensed up and stuff and throw a punch but at the end of the day that power is useless without speed it needs to go with it... thats why your back muscles and hips should only be working for that power + speed...

[@TheMaximWorkshop]

I think Strength is confused for Power here. A Powerful punch can be acquired from either a "Strong" lugging punch and it can also be acquired from a quick punch i.e. that is to say that both a Juggernaut and a bullet are powerful but for two different reasons. One for the Force propelling the mass and one for the Speed the mass moves with. You always want a "powerful" punch but not a Strong one.
