Kung Fu Punching Technique and how it compares to Boxing
Often times I hear martial artists talk about the punching power of boxing. Having boxed myself for about two years and having a few amateur fights, I can attest to boxing improving my punching technique and power. But my belief is that boxing simply helped the technique I had learned in Kung Fu and refined it. In many Kung Fu styles you have a variety of techniques that are practiced from kicks, exotic animal strikes, elbows, knees, sticky hands, ect. ect.
My belief is that where boxing benefits one the most is the simple fact that punching is all that is practiced, so you are obviously going to get better at it. Training methods of course come in to play, but when you focus your entire effort on a small area of techniques, one will obviously get better.
Thoughts on this please.
