Currently recovering from a pinched nerve in my lower back due wrongly turning my hip. That's makes so much sense to imagine a boxing glove there. Thanks for the advice!

This guy - No! Now imagine you drinking it!

Toes, foot arch, leg, hip, shoulder, elbow, fist. SNAP it

Turning your hip ❌

Throwing your hip with that punch ✅

[paintboy]

Ur a legend coach! I swear! I used the same ideology as you in regards to throwing hips and my power quadrupled! This is most powerful advice for technique in power punching. You stud!! 💪

[Learner-qwee]

Holy shit. The change in power was actually kinda big. This is good stuff. Thank you sir.

[amcyou]

Great tip. It is hard to get kids to understand that it has to be a violent move with the hips.

[redsnflr]

How do you "throw" your hip - by turning it, what a ridiculous semantic argument

[jisink]

It’s actually a great lesson.
In short, the hips start the punch. Don’t chase the punch with your hips.

[bigheadrhino]

I would add that you don’t need to worry slowing down your hip to where your upper body can move at the same time, you can actually move the hip as fast as you want and the elastic forces of the muscles and tendons of your torso will actually force your upper body to catch up, making for a very powerful “whipping” action. You can see this with some fighters in slow mo like Alex Pereira’s left hook, where the hip leads and the the upperbody catches up.

Throwing your hip is just a metaphor for people to understand how to transfer weight

[DiyarShukur]

It’s literally the Same, it’s just faster bro

Well, I am not sure what was being said here. Are you saying to not use the hips when you punch. If so, then, well, that is just falt out wrong. But maybe you are not saying that.

The elements of hitting involve a tradeoff between power and positioning. "Turning" the hips (in fact weightchanging), not only puts your body weight into a punch but also changes your body position.

There are two basic things to consider here, siting on our punches and using the contraleteral shoulder to produce power:

1. Sitting on a punch. In this case, in this video, the student needs to begin by bending his knees more. If he bends his knees, he will be able to put his body weight - through the hips - into the punch, which involves "turning" the hips. You can't shift your body weight effectively unless you shift your weight through your hips as you move your body weight from one leg to the other, whether you are going forward for backward.

There are four basic hip/hand positions in, say, a right foot forward stance: i) right hand punching, right hip weighting/moving/advancing forward onto the right foot ii) left hand punching with right hip weighting/moving/advancing forward on the right foot iii) right hand punching with left hip weighting/moving/retreating back towards the left (rear) foot iv) left hand punching with the left hip weighting/moving/retreating back towards the left/rear foot.

These four "positions" are mirrored on the left side with left hand and foot forward.

This use of body weight is very important bcs it helps us avoid arm-punching. At first, these hip movements seem very large and a bit clumsy, but ofc with practise they become so small that a lay person can scarcely even see them. They become like a hip-flick. This is very important if we are going to generate power at close quarters.

2. Contralateral rotation (e.g. if you hit with your right hand, you pull back with your left shoulder, kind of like starting a lawnmower). This is one of the most neglected aspects of hitting. Try it out and notice the difference. It is huge.

Normally after some training proper technique your nerve system will program this so you will do it automattically.

Turning your hip ❌
Turning your hip, but saying it a different way ✅

[JamesMarshall-bcnn]

Different systems teach different details. Most people who have trained for long enough (6 months) will recognise this as bullshit though. By the time you’ve drilled a technique for it to come out properly in a dynamic situation, your body forms a kinetic chain that whips the technique from foot rotation through to arm extension. The hip will automatically form a link in this chain and won’t need to be over emphasised.

[Jasalexander-vvuw]

Do you do this on every punch or just the power punches?

[TheRealNickG]

I've never heard of anyone pushing a baseball so why would I push a punch?

Bro just dropped a bombshell upon us all!
