    Well most pros dont use that from what I can see, most pros do it the other way they push off their foot to get the hips to rotate.

    I know someones going to say they are the exact same thing but they are not.

    Also when you push off does it matter what direction you push, should you push inthe direction of the punch or in the direction (as best you can) of the hips rotation or do you push up, or does it not matter as long as it gets the hips moving?



    You see Tyson doing it this way alot every time he punches he pushes first off the ground theres rarely any pivoting of the foot and if there is it comes AFTER the push off. (NOT FIRST thats the difference)
    if the foot and knee dont turn, the hip cant, plus you dont push of, you push down onto the floor its that, that generates force.

    Push down, it doesn't have to be in any direction just down you say? Thankyou alot!!

    "If the knee doesn't turn the hip cant"

    If you try it you will find theres some room for movement before the foot HAS to twist and no you dont have to torque the knee, if you look at alot of pro fighters for many punches their hips move alot but their feet pivot very little often not at all. (Including julian jackson, who has mastered torque)

    Lots of martial arts styles move the hips without the foot etc

    Infact some people believe not moving the feet is better since theirs no give and you transfer force from the ground to the hip without any slipping (wasting of power at the foot) So it goes straight from the ground to the fist without any "wheel spin" at the foot.
