Notes: we had to trim out the Pereira KO because our video got claimed by “UFC UGC”, we tried to appeal but it got rejected :(

The sprinting example is very true, I remember on my track team one day my coach told us to give it out 100 percent in sprints and the next practice he said just give 80 percent and we ended up all just feeling more comfortable and more efficient and overall faster bc we were relaxed and not forcing our muscles

I shall use this knowledge I have learned today in the next friendly game of Monopoly.

Thank you, my grandma wont stand a chance after this

My grandpa always said when I was a kid "aim for the chin, if you aim higher you will injure your hand"

Thanks!!! This was so helpful!! The orphans stand no chance whatsoever!!

based on the insane quality of the video i was expecting you to have atleast 100k subs, but no, hopefully you have a quick growth because this video is of very high quality

Please continue to make awesome content like this! I love videos that go into detail and breakdown combat sports techniques and the science behind the art form in motion. I just found your channel and just subscribed. I really enjoyed this. It helps people realize "how can someone like this skinny dude like O'malley KO dude's flat?" it's because he really understands how to put velocity on his shots mixed with relaxed fast twitched movement. There's so much more to his game and Nayoa Inoue is also a great example of another smaller guy who's fully capable of beating most people in the world. Mixing fun with the learning process and the dedicated hard work really is such a underrated aspect that a lot of people don't seem to allow themselves to do.. Great channel dude. I love this kind of stuff 🤘🏻

The fluid in the inner ear which is your level is key. If the fluid gets knocked over to one side and your body thinks you're lying down, then that's what your body will do.

I was a bouncer in Chicago. I never had to even punch anybody. Grappling typically works better, and I don't have trouble explaining "reasonable" use of force to po-po or judges.

Video is a little convoluted though interesting. Like showing a chart on cross KOs over Poatan’s left hook. And the emphasizing how Poatan rigidly held a 90 degree angle for his hook then moving on to staying relaxed lol
Also the topic of relaxation feels a bit incomplete to me. And I do see the same issue everywhere.
Hopefully this makes sense. Yes, relaxing is key to allow the force from your legs to travel to your punching limb. But you must be rigid for maximum transfer of force into your target. Like for ex. w/ a cross; once at/near full extension of leg, hip rotation, trunk rotation, and arm extension, each part of the chain needs to be rigidly locked sequentially. Firmly connecting the ground to your target.
Like, with the proper structure, you could still do good damage by stiff arming someone providing the velocity themselves and running at you lol.

The best way to train a proper punching technique is to do it VERY FUCKING SLOWLY!!! Sounds counterintuitive but stick with me here. Execute a punch slowly with perfect form. Start from the foot to the leg to the waist to the torso to the shoulder to the elbow to the fist. At the fist keep it loose until an inch before it contacts the target and then tighten it. If you hit a target with a loose fist you'll break your hand, it has to be hard when you hit. If you keep your fist hard the whole time you block the flow of kinetic energy derived from the whip. You should also be aiming about three inches or more behind the front of the target to maximize energy delivery. This is the, "punch through the target" paradigm. EG if you punch an opponent in the face aim for the back of his head from the front.

Practice this slowly, very slowly, repeatedly to train your muscles and nervous system to the movement. Gradually increase the speed over time and don't rush the process, you're training your nervous system, not your mind so it takes more time.

Things to understand.
- Carera's punch is not perfect form. The reason is that he loads his shoulder before the strike (this is telegraphing, small movements that will alert the opponent that the strike is coming). That being said it is still effective because the rest of the strike is still highly disciplined and yes, locking the elbow on a hook is SUPER IMPORTANT (that doesn't require the amount of muscle tension that would drain energy). He's still moving energy from the leg through the torso into the arm. A perfect strike is actual combat is near impossible. Slow, disciplined training moving to fast movement so that when you are in an imperfect stance you can still deliver a devastating strike is important.
- Just because you can deliver a proper whip strike doesn't mean that you should always do it. It helps to go back to slow strike training to keep the nervous system accommodated to the form. Do this several times before training a whip strike.

Long ass comment ahead.
While everything you said about body mechanincs and relaxation is completely true, it is completely wrong to say that rate of force development and strength are less important or don't correlate to punching power, both technique and raw power are necessary for truly devastating power, lacking strength and rate of force development is why O'malley despite having absolutely flawless technique couldn't really put out Aljo.

Strength increases the ceiling of how much power you can potentially produce, you don't need to be a powerlifter but the physically stronger you are the harder you will hit once you train your rate of force development and stretch shorthening cylce.
RFD is the body ability to produce force at faster rates, this doesn't refer to the speed of the move itself, is how much force you can produce during the movement itself, this is trained with resistance training at high velocities like oly lifts, kettlebell swings, med ball slams and throws, weighted plyometrics, resisted sprints and generic plyometrics like box jumps and jump squats but how much force you can produce depends on your base of strength, if you squat 100lbs your punches won't be as strong as they would be if you squatted 150lbs, some people might avoid strength training to not gain muscle but you can get stronger without gaining mass but like i said earlier, you don't need to be a powerlifter, just getting stronger is enough.

The stretch shorthening cycle is the muscles and tendons ability to stretch and contract under load, the load being momentum forces created during high intensity sport activities such as sprinting, jumping or punching and kicking.
To train this you need plyometrics, specifically short and fast stretch plyometrics.
An example of a short stretch plyo is a depth jump where you jump off a box, land in a half squat and immediately jump as high as you can, a fast stretch is the same exercise but instead of landing in a half squat, you land in a quarter squat.
Earlier i mentioned generic plyos wich are good for muscle elasticity but those train rfd more than ssc and ssc really gives your strinking that spring feeling where you load your punch and shoot hard, if you don't train this no amount of technique and relaxation will make up for it.

To summarize you need technique, body mechanics and physicality.
Technique is the set up, presicion, landing as a counter and things like that.
Body mechanics is the way you move your body for power production like weight shifting, leg drive, elastic recoil.
Physicality is your strength, rfd and ssc.
All of them are necessary for truly devastating power that sleeps your opponents.

To light someone out you need a very sharp, quick and precise hit best landed either on the chin or temple. You don’t need a huge wind up or anything fancy you need accurate, sharp snappy shot. If you’re like a fast twitch type of athlete those will be a lot more common and you will often find yourself dropping people. Example of explosive snappy fighters would be Connor, Deontay wilder, Gokhan Saki, Mike Tyson, Chuck Liddel these are just some examples of people that are very sharp and deliver very whip like snaps. On the other hand there’s fighters that still knock people out with just bare power the likes of Anthony Joshua, George Foreman, Shane Carwin, Klitchko brothers etc the difference is these fighters do possess a level of sharpness and snap but mostly their knockouts are due to sheer power they are like sledgehammers
