Appreciate that dialogue jms hips are only a small percentage of the equation the fascia Lata and the feet would be the main contributors.
Hips don't contribute anything at all if you really wanna get technical. Hips are JOINTS, not muscles so they physically can't generate power. But that in no way implies that moving the hips isn't important. The feet push into the ground when being powered by muscles around the hips, which allows the ground to push back into the legs and cause the general area around the pelvis (hips) to move. Edit: and of course movement within the joint is absolutely critical to punching right, or doing anything right really.

Also the fascia lata doesn't contribute either. It is, by definition, connective tissue. You're thinking the tfl, which is a muscle.
Actually they contribute to everything Plus 95% of injuries occur because of them.
