Stop 'Pushing Your Punches' -- Drive vs Whip

A common problem that fighters have is they push their punches, and lose that "pop" or "snap" motion. What I've noticed as a striking coach, is how students understand different vocabulary -- this video is intended to explain the biomechanics of striking. If this confuses more than it does answer questions, then completely disregard it and keep training! Let me know in the comments below.

Shane you should have a weekly show where viewers submit vids of them hitting the bag or mitts and you critique them...p.s I’m down to send in my scrub level vids lmao

I've always felt my punches lacked that sense of timing thanks a lot Shane! Very helpful

Next time I run out of gas, I'm going to try spanking my car to the gas station and report back.

That was a beautiful question mark kick!

Your channel really helps me learn of all these little things I wouldn't have learned on just practice. The subtle but important bits that usually get overlooked even my professional instructors.

I have this problem and I didn't even realize. Shane, I honestly learn as much if not more from your videos than my kickboxing coach. Thank you.

Ego is my greatest flaw when it comes to executing proper technique. The moment I put my ego aside and just flow, my true potential starts to show through. Whether it's the bag or a sparring partner, boxing keeps me mentally grounded.

no punching bags were harmed in this video

Prince Naseem did it all the time. He didn't just push, he sprinted into his punches, which is why his power was deadly. What you did at 0:40 is all theory and semantics. In a real fight, many punches will land before they were intended, and therefore look like pushes. Although they don't manifest the same power as they would if they made contact later, these punches still have the power to drop opponents.

Bro that ? Kick there at the end was sick af. From now on that's how imma greet people's faces

The difference between whip and push is the follow-through. It’s easy to practice this by listening to the sound the bag makes when you strike it. A push will make a thud, and a whip punch or any whip movement will make a smack. And to visualize the “whip” is like visualizing your body moves like a wave. Like in dubstep dancing they build their “wave” (for fighting it would be “power”) from their feet and you can see how their body moves like water. A great place to learn how to develop the fundamentals of ALL fighting is from this teacher DK Yoo. He has a lot of videos that explain this wave movement, it’s hard to understand and even learn, but once you try it yourself you feel it. a man once said “feel it! Don’t think” -Bruce Lee

Shane your tips have helped me improve my technique exponentially, keep up the great work.

[krashprash]

Damn Shane, that kick at 2:23 was way too fast

[LosCristeros]

“Paralysis through analysis” It’s a real thing lol

[Vinnyygo]

I know this is an old video, but this was exactly what I needed today. I got my first boxing match tonight, and every bit of info I can soak in will make a difference!

[dfpguitar]

Would love to see an even greater breakdown of this

[Orabishik-wv]

it's important to have a strong core rotation to transmitt the force generated by the legs.
