Its almost two motions at once but for me its smooth and i get alot of power. If anyone can explain this better help me out. For me the sitting down on your punches would be the dipping of the knees.
Seems to work for the front hand, but would you really do this for a rear (power) hand strike, i.e., dip the rear knee?

Are you unweighting the rear leg here, or perhaps fully unweighting the front leg and sinking into the back one (that makes sense but then both 'knees' would be flexing [slightly])?

If so, please try to explain and elaborate, or maybe their is another source for this you can point out...?
