Kimbo's catch all question/answer thread.

Lol, thats pretty funny .
But if you are serious the whole point of a haymaker is that there is no technique just swing your arm as hard as possible and hope for the best. Unless the guy you are boxing knows less about boxing than you though its probbably not the best way to go. In fact even if the guy knows less than you I still wouldnt go that route. Its the equivalent of asking a soccer player how to do a 'toe bunger'

try kneeling infrot of your partner(he is also kneeling) then starting off light practice slipping and avoiding his punches - the kneeling takes footwork eliment away forcing you to focus more on headmovement - hope it helps

[Kimbo123]

what makes snapping your wrist while punching make you punch harder

To put it blunt drop your ass.

Not 100% sure that it does, although that is what many believe. Maybe I even believe it, but haven't seen the actual proof so far.

If it offers any power help the it is because it makes your arm a VERY slight bit longer, it adds the rotation as another force, and/or it gives you a better mechanical position of the shoulder.

We do know that it helps get the shoulder up so your chin is better protected.

[HerbM]

Yes, he does post some odd questions.

Best bet is to go view some Muay Thai videos (on YouTube or Google Video) searching for something like:

muay thai kick round | round-house

i would like too know how to knock someone out like where should i hit them and how do i train for knockout power

[0james0]

Use a bat.

Aim for the head, big swing. No need to train.


That should do the job!

First and foremost shadowboxing should reinforce the basics. You start with learning how to stand properly, how to throw your punches correctly, and then incorporate footwork, and defense.

Working in front of a mirror is fine for certain things, but don't use it too much. Shadowboxing in front of a mirror tends to make a fighter too stationary as they are too transfixed on the guy in the mirror.

Training with a coach or partner (ie. padwork, or drills) will help improve your timing and awareness. This all feeds back into your shadowboxing/bag-work, and so with sparring as well. Your shadow boxing should gradually move from repetitious technique drills to a fight simulation where you are boxing an imaginary opponent, using your entire repertoire and ring savvy. Nonetheless, you should always return to the basics.

I dont believe it adds any power instead it does put your shoulder in good defensive position in relation to your chin and it helps keep your elbow from flaring out
