Any thoughts?
in order to get my fighters to throw with speed and that "snap" in their punches I would have them imagine that they were trying to strike out and take something out of my hand......kinda like Van Dam in "Bloodsport"....it worked great......snatch it and bring it back....relax as much as possible......almost throw the punches with your hands completly relaxed and open.....making it a fist at the last possible moment......see how that works......
