Help! My punching power will not rise!

again as you have pointed out it depends. If they are experience they are likely to bash you when you turn away or the punch just comes out of the blue, you also get the mouths who just yak-and you can avoid confrontation with this sort. It's the first sort of loons you have to worry about. Like knives, if they know what they are doing the first you'll know about it is when you get cut, all this waving a blade round like in the movies is for people who don't have a clue.

presissly
i personally know how to knife fight. my dad was an ex royal marine, and i spent alot of time at their training camp with him, when a couple of bored guys trued to teach me how to fight.
i can still remember how to break knecks, where all the vital arteries in somones body are, how long it takes them to lose conciousness/die if you cut them there.
even learned to shoot (SRR's)

I trained in kali.

(bicep/inner thigh for starters)

good training drill was to wear a white shirt and use red marker pens. Play with knives, no matter how good you are you will get cut.

i did exactly the same thing!
old white shits, somone had a marker pen, used to wearsaftesy specs tho, and we used to see how long we could last using only our hands and feet against a knife

Was it Elisha Obed that said he had no idea how hard he punched as he'd never hit himself? Seriously, work out those weight shifts and never get your hands ahead of your hips ( sorta quoting Mr Langford) And if done right it won't feel like you are punching hard.
