Ok, so how do you apply this knowledge to the punch? You keep practising it or you shadow box it

Front foot stops you generating power until its your back foot, to me its pretty simple not complicated. If you want speed dont use the Heel thats how you get velocity the heel is the break.

I've never thought of it that way before CC Scrap. Is that one of the reasons we try to stay on our toes when we box?

CC Scrap.

Often I use quite a stalking flat footed style.
However, out of a little showboating I lift the heels like Felix Trinidad.
I never thought it would make such a difference but I shadowboxed your theory a second ago and It's amazing, I can really feel the differnece!
