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

After reading over your post 2 would get more power for reasons we have already talked about. And it is a text book way to throw the right. Without the step you cant get in on the angle to land the right.

You should be able to get your weight turned without moving your feet at all. The 'falling step' is useful for closing distance, but you can really screw yourself up if you start doing what I call 'walking' your punches; that is, stepping every time you punch.

I can. But for max power its optimal to step and turn rather than just turn, but obviously step while remaining in your stance. (im not walking and squaring up like like an idiot)

I know this is a bad idea most of the time because you are likely to add power to their punch if you step into your punches (its probably the reason jack dempsey was a sucka for a straight right hand) BUT it is a great way to add power to your punches too. High risk high reward, and if you use it at the right time and judiciously you can make it high reward medium-low risk.

Did you have one of these as a kid.

Hi OMGWTF,
You asked:

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

Technically speaking, no it isn't. No matter what punch you throw with a preceding step, be it a straight right hand, left hook, etc, there will be a millisecond difference between the step and hip rotation. The trigger step initiates the weight transfer then a millisecond later, the "whipping" hip rotation finalizes it. The two are synergistic partners in putting body weight into a punch.

Take Care,
Lito

This is almost a physics question lol. Does your forward momentum cause your hand to launch out faster?

It seems like I can put as much power into a punch with my feet planted or even backing up (not sure if I really get the same power but it feels like I do).

I dont even know anymore. Im just confused now lol.
