Punching tips: 1. RELAX; being relaxed saves energy & allows you to punch harder.your muscles should be calm& fluid, allowing the energy to flow through you entirebody as you throw the punch being tense stop the energy from flowing& prevents you from throwing yor best punch, find power through relaxation., relaxing is the only way to exert powerful force repeatedly without getting tired. 2.AIM ; keep your eyes on your oppnent always, dont look pst him, dont look down, when you throw a punch make sure you look at the target, you should be careful not to look so intensly at a target before you throw since this telegraphs the punch, never look at the body when you throw down this also telegraphs , keep your eyes on your opponents head & shoulders. 3. Exhale on every punch; always breathe out on every punch, make a small breathe dont exhale all of the air in one punch, as you throw combinations you let out sperts of air for each punch, the shorter & more explosive the exhalation the better, compact explosive breathing will result in compact explosive punches, exhaling properly creates more powerful punches & saves energy. 4. Timed impact; hit with the force of your body all at once, when you exhale your entire body moves & hits simaltaneously, from head to toe, everything moves all at once, the foot pivots, the hips turns , shoulders rotate, the arms extend & the fist tightens, the better you get at making your body hit all at once, the less effort it takes for a more powerful punch. 5. Keep your balance; always be aware of your balance, dont push into your opponent, exert power by finding contact with the ground, dont lean your head past your knees, the best way to develop balance is to practise your punches with shadowboxing, mitts , not the heavy bag., the better you stay balanced, the more advanced offense & defensive maneuvers you can learn. 6.Cover the opposite hand; when you punch with one hand protect yourself with the other hand, the hand thats not punching should be defending, defend with the glove covering the chin & the elbow protecting the body, the non punching hand should always be defending &! Or getting ready to punch. 7. Recover; recover the punch arm quickly to cover the vulnerabililties you created while punching, be careful, however not to retract too quickly or your punching power will suffer, this mistake is known as "pulling your hands", training will help you sense the right time to retract your fist, the faster you pull your hands back the less velnerable you are & sooner you can punch again.., Did I miss anything else beginners should know?
