One last question, concerning hip rotation with straight punches

[Trainer Monkey]

The main problem Im seeing,is even the jab should have minor hip rotation,its cocking your rear hip for added power that way when you bring your right

[Scrap]

Interestingly, the Hips rotation is 6 degrees, not a lot The secret is the Back Foot and Front Shoulder.

So the way the coach in the vids says to rotate the fist beyond horizontal isn't dangerous then?

[Scrap]

It helps put the shoulder on the Chin, good Technique. Plus it protects the Thumb

[Sharla]

Right good to know thanks Scrap. I've always turned the fist but been paranoid about turning it past horizontal but it's nice to know that's on less thing to worry about!

where you start to see problems is when guys tell you to rotate the fist 90degree past horizontal.

I find if I rotate the fist over horizontal I start leaning to my left which reduces the power dramatically. I think that is much more to do with my baseball days rather than anything else though. SO how much hip does everyone put into their straight rights?

I also find it adds power by preventing one from pushing the punch by helping the elbow come up. Under-rotation leaves the elbow down and power on the table.
