Hip rotation and punching in perfect unison

[Douglas]

Lately I've been having problems with rotating my hip and throwing my punch at the exact same time. Either I rotate my hip too quickly before my punch has a chance to land, thereby defeating the purpose of the hip rotation to begin with, or my punch is already thrown before the hip rotates.


Has anyone else ever had problems with this and if so, what advice can you give to correct it? I've been practicing carefully in front of a mirror and it's helped some.

Its usually a problem, with the floor, and feet,plus posture because of it. Your pyramid is wrong, alters your mechanics.

Yes pay close att to your pyramid as it placement. Since most coaches today don't care about hip rotation

Interesting point in all of this. Its the opposite side to the side youre trying to move, that does most of the work. If the heels are on the floor, it restricts the movement which makes all this happen. Body works all or nothing. Hips only move on there own 6 degrees, its all the other levers working together, that makes it happen.

I have seen videos linked to golf and baseball that teach hip sequencing exercises. These may be great for you. Plus some other videos on rotational power.
