Is the weight u transfer from hip rotation the same weight as u transfer from a step?

Then turn in your shoulders and hips is where your power comes from.

A step forward is what will create your angle to land the punch.

But you can add more power with a step too.

It seems like you should be able to generate as much power without the step. Im gonna have to go mess around on the heavy bag when I get the chance and get back with you lol.

If your throwing a lead straight right you will have to take a step to get in on that angle but still the power comes from turning your hips and shoulders into it.

Say you work the straight right off the jab, you would step in with the jab and make the angle then unload with the snap in your hips and shoulders.





I think you can get more power off of a step but only because the angle it creates helps you put more snap in your hips and shoulders.

What hurts more? A straight right that hits you while standing still? Or a straight right you walk/step into?

Same applies for stepping first with any punch that step adds power, so long as the step doesnt ruin the mechanics of the straight right punch.

I see what you mean, your forward momentum adds power to your punch.

I was thinking you meant stepping simultaniously as you were throwing the punch in which you would be using the momentum and dropping weight of your foot to generate more power.

But I agree with you. So long as you leave your rear foot on the ground, dont reach out with your right hand and turn your hips and shoulder into your punch you should be good.
