Practice,Practice,Practice so your punches fly off your shoulders effortlessly. Stay loose and relaxed so you muscles don't fight against themselves. I made the mistake in my early years by standing too close to the target. Create the space where the opponent is at the end of the punch and not land while the arm is still bent which smothers the power a bit.

Snapping at the end of your punches really generates power and its faster then throwing a limp stiff arm.

yeah, i never understood my karate instructors who would say "leave it out there!"

Best instructions I've found on youtube relating to boxing theme! You're really great teacher. Your videos help me a lot.

The only channel that actualy shows some usefull tips. Realy underated

I subscribed to this guy as soon as he referred to technique instead of exercise, great video!

Love it how you break down all the small parts which are so important for good technique and how you always give examples of possible situation , that makes it easy to understand. Great teaching style. Keep up the great work

Best advice channel ever!! Thanks and greetings from Holland

Johnny from ExpertBoxing is the Best!

Very clear and good advise, thanks!

once again great advice. anybody can say to practice our technique, but to explain why and follow up on it helps.

Great video! top notch stuff buddy

Best video I have seen on how to increase punching power!! thanks for such great info bro!!✌

Great tips -- all spot on. This guy knows his stuff.

Love your channel! Im fighting in the golden gloves this year your videos are helpful

Those small pointers make a big difference, even if you've been boxing for a long time. Good advice.

amazing info

awesome. subbed. nice work i hope to see more videos.

awesome advice

thumbs up guys this guy gives his time to teach us

You couldn't have said it any better for me. I think several people definitely misunderstood my use of the word "downward".

great video thank you

Boxing gloves size increased throughout history. i.e Jack Johnson who fought in 1900's was known for usually wearing 5 ounce gloves.

you just got my 1st subscribe awesome videos man!!

best advices. thanks

Thank you sir

Good video. I wanted to make sure i was at my maximum strength for my punching. Taekwondo helped me with that.

As with anything, it depends on how you're doing it, and for what purpose. Lifting weights CAN help to increase power.

Thanks to starting karate at age 8, yoga at 20, and shuffle and hip hop dancing a few years ago, kinetic transfer comes easily. Highly recommend yoga for this!

I already have a video demonstrating how to hit the speed bag. Accuracy can be developed through mitts, speed bag, and double-end bag. If you don't have accuracy, then having some luck helps.

You're really good

Good video. Now all i need is an parther.

Many martial arts masters teach that! I knew it was gonna be about proper body mechanics delivering technique

Hi Johnny, with regards to accuracy, is it true the Ali used to aim behind the ears and temples in the earlier days?

Hey man I've been watching alot of your vids lately and you really got me interested in learning how to box but the thing is im 21 years old now, do you think im too old for boxing? Also I have a black belt in Karate but I have been doing Karate ever since I was 12 so theirs no surprise to why I'm good at it.

Do you recommend throwing straight punches with a horizontal fist,a vertical fist or with the your fist turned all the way over and your thumb pointing at the floor. I usually throw them with my fist diagonal(halfway between vertical and horizontal) but the guy on millionstylesboksing says that you have to throw them with your thumb pointing at the floor

just curious, what is your fighting stance when fighting? Mine is actually sideway defensive stance right hand on the side of the face and left hand out to keep on jabbing, distract opponent and throw a straight right

You do a slight shoulder rotation on a jab right? especially on the second jab when you're doubling it up.

I am 14 and i am training at a small boxing gym here in texas, I started monday so i am just a beginner, I cannot afford a personal trainer for boxing there, but they have boxing classes throughout the week, and I do those monday, wednesday,and friday. That is what the trainer suggest i do, but he suggested that i also do a kickboxing class on thursday because he said it will help me with my leg muscles, leg conditioning, balance, and help me rotate my hips for power. Is it good 2 take it or no?

i agree with the technique fact I all ways ask my instructor as many questions as possible

what technique could you show as an example of throwing your whole bodyweight? like putting youre whole bodywieght down? I have a problem puttin my entire bodyweight behind the punch or to any strike.

does playing with the tennis ball help on your timing or accuracy ? i have seen it many times, guys in my gym playing with tennis ball.

The sweet science!

I thinks it's because the lats are better developed than the deltoids and 'punching downwards' is by definition recruiting the lats as a larger muscle group to accelerate the fist while punching.

Where would you suggest to find a speed bag

By throwing many punches with full extension and using footwork to help maintain the distance where you have a reach advantage.

Nice work! Do you also send your boxing package to Europe?

Great

I would do it because it makes perfect sense.

This is a hard question to answer because there are so many variations and ways to do things. Generally, the fist is horizontal, unless you're throwing uppercuts. For the advanced answer, it depends on where your head is positioned. The more your head is over your front foot, the more you can rotate it comfortably/naturally. The more your head is on the back foot, the more the fist rotates the other way. So it depends on your weight distribution. The goal is to be natural.

By shoulder might reach out to extend the jab and/or cover my chin but no, I am not rotating my upper body with the jab (even if you think it looks that way).

great

Seriously, Johnny. I need to know, what shoes are those. please answer

You said that if punches go up that makes them less powerful, so what do you suggest if you are fighting a person taller than you? Maybe, even by a foot?

Did you snap with gloves on at the end?

What do you mean punch down? I was taught to punch up because it is good defense as well as good form. Please explain.

It's about projecting downward energy through your body, not actually aiming your fist downwards. Your fist needs to aim at the target, wherever that may be, but generate power by sinking your hips and grounding.

im a really skinny guy and i dont have any gyms near me, i have been told that i should do pull ups however i have no bar,iv been thinking about doing pull ups on my bedroom door however i dont know if it is a good idea due to whenever i do it my wrists starts to hurt,any advice?

I am gonna post a rather stupid question now,I broke my nose in sparring 7 days ago,now each time I spar and get hit in my nose,it hurts like hell,I mean its already damaged and I dont know if its safe to continue hard sparring like that,I went to a doctor and he told me to take a month off now this sounds outrageous,no sparring for the whole month,would not it be a huge loss of time,so I am asking if it is wise to continue sparring or take my time to recover and then start sparring again?I mean is it gonna be a that big issue that I actually have to stop sparring,or should I keep on with my sparring,and btw any tips for the recovery(lol) of my nose?

It's not about punching up or down, it's about the muscles you use. Regardless of where you aim (whether it be high/med/low), you will generate maximum power if you use the right muscles. I'm recommending for people to MOVE body weight downwards, not punch downwards. it would be silly to limit attack angles. Of course, certain punching angles will give you more power depending on the angle of your body (straight up, leaning forward, or leaning backward).

Thank you for the comment and welcome to boxing.

Should i rotate my abs while punching?

will boxing and muay thai ever switch to the smaller MMA gloves?

cf. Bruce Lee's theory on "economy of motion" from his Tao of JKD book. Thanks.

snapping fist rotation and flexing at moment of punch

Can you give some new instructions for southpaw boxers

When you through a punch (Jab or Cross) the oponent should be right when the arm is almost streched or closer......when i'm training when the oponent is to close i sometimes fill some pain on my shoulder....

yes, but the most of the power comes from the feet, to rotation is nice for the reach, master it with your footwork the step in Left-right and u will see power

If your hips and shoulders are both turning in the same direction, that would in turn mean that your spine is also turning in the same direction. Essentially saying the same thing... But thinking about turning your spine helps mentally to turn your whole body faster and harder, ultimately producing a more powerful punch, because you are recruiting more muscles, and moving faster.

Could hand and forearm strength contribute to punching power along with proper technique.

@expertboxing

9 жыл бұрын

jacob phelps I agree with Cliff. If anything, forearm strength helps to PREVENT power leak, it doesn't necessarily add power. Just having your forearm in the right position (at the right time) will do more for you than how hard you can squeeze your hand together.

The key to punching power is punch technique, punch location and a well developed Physique. "Physique is the most neglected phase of athletics." - Bruce Lee Work on your core legs and upper body strength individually and functionally to develop the best physique. Your workout will affect your fighting style so do what works best for you. PS. I'm not a coach or guru or anything I'm a regular guy who's done his own research

thank you for this I now know it means when a commentator says "He really sat down on that punch" or he " he really sank that one in" Separate question when you talk about boxers using their core for power is this anyway related to chi in martial arts as the "Navel area" is where chi is stored?

@expertboxing

When I say "using the core", I'm referring to using your core muscles (mostly in the abdominal and pelvic areas). "Chi" I think is referred to energy and not so much about a muscle.

with this and implosive punching you really nailed it!!! very good advice. btw i tend to leap my left hook because im a shot guy, i fell really comfortable with the movement, but comparing that with a well grounded left, is so much weak, there is some advice to improve the leaping left hook, or naturally is a weaker punch?

So does Lifting weights Do not help to Increase Punching power?

I have no idea about Ali but all fighters will typically throw at different areas...whatever is available.

I use multiple stances, whatever fits the occasion.

Yes, the spine should rotate during power punches.

I disagree with your gravity theory, punching downward may have a slight power advantage with gravity but its very minor, almost unnoticeable. While punching at a slight upward angle versus just straight out from your chest or shoulder level, your able to use your upper shoulder muscles in conjunction with your chest and legs muscles to transfer the power

Your punches are less powerful if your CENTER OF GRAVITY goes up. Your punches can go in whatever direction you want (up, down, around) as long as your center of gravity goes downwards during the punch. And the CoG doesn't have to move much, maybe an inch if you're good at it.

Sorry if you've already talked about it in one of your videos I haven't seen it in one yet

hip rotation and shoulder rotation but spine?????

george forman never punched like that or any of the big hitters i know.its all about leverage,a kenettic chain.starts from ur feet,legs,torso, right through ur body to ur fists.its all leverage.

Boxing, most likely not because boxers throw so many punches and need to protect their hands. The fighting gloves are already pretty thin as it is.
