Pushing the bag

[nikola_ganchev]

Whats the difference between the push and the punch physically? From the stand point of the object being pushed/punched is a force which is working for a given interval of time... The push is the force generated from your muscles only and the punch is the force generated from your inertia. So here is the solution: When you focus yourself on pushing with the shoulder and breast muscles you automatically reduce the inertia of your body. But if you focus on pulling with your back muscle you put all the inertia into the punch... Thats why Scrap says all the time to focus on pulling with your back which rotates your shoulders rather to push. The rotational inertia is what kills(except the jab). Thats why in order to create power is extremely important to be always in balance and to rotate your whole body rather to push...

About the "snapping of the hand". If you do it to soon you kills your follow true . (Here I've started to explain why it so important but it turns out to be a physic lecture of no interest) You must snap your hand after the punch is complete in order to create max damage and be always balanced because if you miss it is bad news...
