  1. This is essentially what I learned in karate, the movements in that martial art exhibit really exaggerated examples of the type of movement shown in this video

  2. Not true, not true, repetition is not THE ONLY way

    What makes the mastered movement special is that it can be done intuitively, with confidence, not being concerned with form

    The reason relaxing is such a big part of it is because being tense, overthinking, these things extend the length the command must travel between your will and your execution

    If you get relaxed FIRST, by entering into a mushin type trance flow state, your body will ALWAYS move with flawless form and efficiency, because the excess thinking and resistance is taken out of the equation

    You can flawlessly execute movements you've never done before when you stop worrying about whether or not you're doing it right, whether or not you have perfect form, whether or not you're firing the kinetic chain in the right order

    Repetition helps you to get a firmer grip on flawless form, but it's not a causal relationship

    Throwing 10,000 punches doesn't make you a master of that punch, what makes you a master of that punch is throwing that perfect punch at the end, with the 9,999 imperfect punches before actually being a MIDDLE MAN that isn't actually necessary if you have an intuitive understanding of how the perfect punch should feel from the get go, and that's an issue of your perception to be able to give you the feedback

    By having highly tuned perception, you'll be able to INTUITIVELY FEEL your way through a perfect punch, as every step in the kinetic chain will give you feed back that informs the next step in the kinetic chain

    Fighters will talk about how Tai chi is important for fighting but acknowledge that it isn't a martial art itself, because what it's designed to do is help you to understand your proprioception more acutely, which will translate into more acute awareness of proprioception when doing something like throwing a punch

    Dancing is fighting, they both operate off of the same framework of movement, so if you can enter into a flow state of dance and execute movements with certainty and intent, not burning excess physical and mental energy because you're concerned about doing it right, about how you look, that certainty of movement will translate into the ability to execute fighting movements with the same degree of certainty

    There is very little difference between throwing your arm as a dance move and throwing your arm as a punch, both use movement and both use your body

  3. Wow. These principles allowed me to understand my golf swing better too. The whip affect is also created by leading with your hips, allowing the arms to come through with additional torque and kinetic energy

  4. Amazing video man. Could you please make a video for teenagers that is in school, I am asking this because In school we literally sit for 7 hours straight which is crazy. 5 minute break isn't even enough. It would be so awesome if you made video about it in how to stay fit and recover from this prolonged sitting.

  5. The Soviet school of boxing I believe has the greatest understanding of this concept, tensed ankles + loose shoulders. Power is generated in a mini hop + rotation using elastic recoil of the fascia and tendons moreso than the muscles. I'm 62kg and I can seriously out punch most of the much heavier guys in my gym and it's always been kind of weird because i use the least amount of effort per punch. This video explains it nicely, bravo!

  6. Rotation and shoulder movement is indeed important parts of the punching movement. However, without footwork the punch becomes very 2-dimentional and mechanical. Adding footwork in the punch makes you alive and able to punch faster, harder, and from several angels. You should therefore throw (of course in a controlled manner) the entire body explosively into the punch. For instance, you often mention Bruce Lee in your videos – see how he does it in his backyard training. He's actually airborne ever so slightly from the ground at impact. Somewhat the same with Manny Pacquiao. Mike Tyson comes more deeper from the ground and is not really airborne, but he still used footwork to explode into it. And Mohammed Ali, something in between. Different techniques due to different body types and personality, but footwork was/is essential for all these fighters.
