For some interesting descusions on power generation etc have a read of this old thread Tun To Fau Chum

It is very interesting.

It is also amazing to watch those who are able to generate power this way correctly. It goes far beyond putting the old hips (or waist) into it

I like to have an Aggressive manner and hit continuously, as well as timing is very important part of my training.

use all angles and body motion like, rising and falling to create a smashing and crushing attacks/strikes.
Learn to use hands and legs with a flow.

For me, good body mechanics means that power is transferred through the body by closing and opening joints -- while at the same time relaxing and contracting muscles.

So let's take your basic reverse punch. First I fully close as many joints as is reasonably possible. The ankle is bent, the knees are bent, the qua is closed, the waist is turn away from the target and the elbow is bent. I inhale and I hold my shoulders down with my lats.

The power begins when I push into the floor with my legs. Then the joints open in the opposite order I listed them, the spine is rippled, the elbow unbends and I exhale.

I train this in a very exaggerated method. Training with the understanding that when you are in a fight outside of your training hall you will be under the effects of adrenaline and lose up to 80% of your fine motor skills. I'm counting on the 20% that is left of my training to save my ass.

The not so secret secret to developing true power is using a full range of motion and allowing each joint in the body to move in a natural, relaxed way.

Thank you.
That has some new stuff into it.

It's not easy to describe a boxing (western) punch in terms of power generation, it's just a feeling you get when you line everything up that means you did it right (as well as the bag shooting off and shaking like crazy). We breath out when we punch, helps so you dont get the wind knocked out of you if you get counter punched or hit in mid punch. The best advice I've ever heard on the subject, though, was "sink your hips and twist like a -------- -------." Boxing power, while it comes up through the legs (especially on hooks) is generated in a large part by the hips. At the end of a cross your hips are facing the man you're aiming at, or maybe turned even further around. If you can get your hips through a punch and keep your shoulder up, at the right distance you should have power. It will take some time and coaching to develop, though.

I think sansoo shows a person the way to strike "hard" if you want to call it that way. I prefer striking the ribs and throat.

Thank you both.

I believe power comes from the floor up in a tight coil kind of jing. One or a few have stated they favor hands before feet, I feel its the other way around. I imagine my body as a coil and that power is transfered through the coil (refering to strictly straight punch) the joints help to amplify, transfer or block the power in coordination with a loose dominoe type effect of muscle groups contracting and relaxing. The power comes from the feet/ankles(push/sink), to the knees (back leg locks continuing the flow of the push) then to the waist ( the waist twists square forward, transferring the power further) then to the shoulders ( the shoulders turn square forward pushing the power to the arm) and then out through the punch (complete extension then slight recoil) both latts tight at same time all movement stops at same time. The feet offer a root for the power to begin and an anchor for resistance so that once the punch makes contact minimal power is lost when the punch begins to push past the point of contact and not back to the feet of the puncher.

Well thanks,that is one interesting,if complex? approach.
