Hallo everybody!
This is my first time in this forum I want to greet you all.
Now, one thing that is puzzling me is related to that famous "snap" in your punch. I remember a long time ago, some old guy, who use to be a light weight champion or something, came in the gym showing us how to use a "hip snap", in order to accelerate your body weight in to the target, in a bullet speed. Basically, as I remember that one lesson ( let's consider right cross punch), the elbow of punching hand is innitialy moving forward, at the same time your lower back area (hips), are staying still and just as you feel enough tension in your right side of the trunk ( because elbow is moving forward and arm is flexed and streching occurs in your right side latissimus muscle), you release your rigt hip forward, raising your right heel in the same time. This delay of hip rotation, can really make difference and make you feel like arrow is being released forward.
Now, this might be bullshit, but does anybody really know how to make that "hip snap"?
