Hahahaha! Van me boy....... It is totally applicable and if utilized at the proper distance, is vey explosive......I'm right handed but I take a right hand lead(southpaw) my lead hand is my strongest, the way were taught to throw is to think of your arm as a whip, keep your arms up and nice and relaxed, when your punch is thrown and close to full extension you snap your wrist at the end and do the one inch punch..... Trust me it makes abig difference you can feel and hear it on the pads it also gets you in the good habit of bringing you hands back up for defense after a punch since it feels natural to do so.....

Try it...
you know just b/c I respect your posting I would try it, but in my last fight I hyperextended my elbow and had a small tear in my rotator cuff in the same arm. Both injuries have healed other than some nasty tendonitis in my elbow, but my range of motion has been decreased and I just can't get much pop anymore from my punches in my right arm. So I pretty much just do submission grappling now. I occasionally do some light sparring with my soldiers, but my fighting career is pretty much done. Not that 5-3 in unsanctioned MMA fights is much of a career.
