Punching Power Mechanics/Waist Pivot, hip rotation help.. Can you provide some help?

[mdef303]

Let me simplify this.. Does the power in the punch come from the waist pivot, which then results of a pivot of the ball of my foot (left foot for left shots) (right foot for right shots).. or

Does the power start from the ground up, the pivot of the foot, which in turns the waist pivot and body turn.


I think the power comes from the waist pivot, which automatically pivots the right foot, or left foot, depending on the shot you throw. And letting your feet be like springs, to absorb the weight transfer and to maintain balance doing so.


Some say the power is generated from the foot pivot, im not so sure if this is the case. I think that the power comes from a quick pivot of the waist past the centerlin, which in results happens the foot pivot, acting as shock absorbers for the weight transfer.

What is your thought regarding the foot pivot when throwing shots...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
