He is saying the opposite, to achieve power in your shots you torque your whole body while keeping oral stability. Maximum torque is achieved when you don't lean forward (loss of oral stability; which causes a disequilibrium of balance as your body topples forward), to counter act this your body must stabilise it self in order to remain upright, this restabilisation is what causes the loss in power. So basically keep your head in the same position and put your legs, hips, core, shoulders and finally arms into the punch and you will knock down brick walls.

In other words, you want to torque your core in to your shots,not throw your arm or your body in to it, its the torque from your hip traveling to your shoulder that creates power.
Not big muscles in your arm,their helpful, but thats not really where your power is coming from,big biceps are more to impress chicks

Again I think it comes down to somebody not understanding a visualiztion technique,they allways used to tell us to aim 3 inches past the point of impact to get us to drive through our punches

so it may appear that they land side by side but when followed through they hit the same spot?
