Re: How are you hitting/punching?

I used to do the very basic hips turn creating torque and the power travels up the torso and out the arms.

I'm now trying (mostly) to create a clear connection from the ground to my hand. I'm mostly working to use good alignment, relax my back and allowing my center to express the strike.

If I relax my lower back correctly and maintain good up down connection my arms will raise up slightly. I am working on taking that connection and shifting it to a strike/hit/punch.
Incidentally, I have to be in Seattle for a few days at the end of July (to accompany my wife while she goes to a meeting). If the times work out I'll be happy to meet for a bit with a few people to shoot the breeze and see what they're doing. P.m. me if anyone is interested.

Best.

Mike
