    That is moere or less the basis of sound punching technique.
    Meh!rotation and flexibility is something that your born with there is very little evidence that it can be improved.
    Punching technique can be learned; I have taught it.
    Sounds like moogley poogley hoogley! Why because muscle has lost then connection to the cns when stretched beyond its normal range of motion. Punchers are born not made.
    You have no idea what you're talking about.

    I've been working once or twice a week with a friend who's a wrestler. Not the explosive kind, the lanky awkward kind who scores on snap downs and go behinds. Just Tuesday night he dropped one guy with a body shot, another with a left hook and nearly floored somebody with his jab. When we first started I could catch his punches barehanded, now it doesn't feel good through the mitts. A second wrestler (the kind with huge muscles, who's supposed to be too slow) who I've been working with but less frequently also scored a knockdown with a body shot.

    Keep in mind both had flexibility issues. One couldn't turn his legs in without leaning, the other couldn't keep them apart.

    And I'm not even a damn coach. I'm a baby in this game compared to scrap and grey, but 2 days a week max is enough for me to teach these guys respectable punching power. Neither of them is a natural, both were extremely stiff and uncomfortable. Hell to some extent they still are.

    Now of course some guys do have that natural power, and they'll hit like a truck on accident. Doesn't mean you can't teach everyone else to at least hit hard, even if you can't put dynamite in their fists.
    Science doesn't agree with you since its the muscle fibre that generates mass and velocity.

    Where in that article does it even say anything about flexibility?

    Besides it doesn't even matter. You can post random internet sources all day. If you walked up to any half-decent strength and conditioning coach or physical therapist and told them flexibility can't be improved you'd be laughed out of the room. It's an opinion that can't even be taken seriously. You have to be trolling.
    Woooow! Hey guys I'm not trying to be defensive first off I have great trainers! Which includes a brand new strength training coach. I am not a fighter with 0-8 tomato can record, too add to all that I have a coach that trained Lennox Lewis a National Level coach and when I go on about twisting my limbs to get strong they look at me funny and say that's called stretching not resistance (heavy) training. You'd be wrong to think that I'm stupid since I come from good genes my one of my parents is a physician the other an academic had my grades fallen below the honor roll I wouldn't even be boxing. Again I'm not posting anything my question is the following how does stretching fully to the normal range activate type 2 muscle fibre. Kindly answer that question. Please!
    The point is to give full range of motion while maintaining strength. Good stretching will develop that. If range of motion is limited, especially in the hip joint or ankles, then it's physically impossible to punch or move well without forcing it and causing injury. You can add resistance to the stretching too. Of course stretching on its own won't cause huge gains in strength, that's what a good lifting program is for.

    The original argument was you saying flexibility can't be improved, which is absolute bullshit. You sound like someone who just read about this topic last week and is claiming to be an expert on it. And not a single person is saying stretching makes you strong, is reading comprehension not required to be an honor roll student where you're from?
    Meh! The tendons have very little tension to stretching beyond a 4% stretch after that they can tear or worse yet!!! lengthen beyond their ability to recoil also by the time your an adult your tissues have lost 15% of their moisture content making it less supple and prone to injury. My coach won't risk it by having me do stretches because he says that there isn't one published study that says it prevents injury and to the contrary muscles lose there flexibility when over stretched like a rubber band. He is a national boxing coach. Lastly a good boxer should have flexibility so why the need to improve it? I'd think that one would strong muscles to flexible.
