Power Punching Secrets, PART 2: Implosive Punching

Learn how to punch with IMPLOSIVE power instead of explosive power. "Exploding" off your punch takes you off balance, decreasing your speed and power. Imploding your punch maximizes your balance, power, speed, and even energy-efficiency.

This is advanced technique so it's not meant for beginners to try doing. They end up over-analyzing too much. Basically, you want to apply downwards force on each punch. Apply downwards force (not actually lowering your hip...although a little might be ok).

Theoretically speaking: if you lower yourself on every punch, you'll end up on the ground after a combination. lol

You are genius. You have your point explained clearly. Good job

[expertboxing]

Implosion punches are meant to be the most powerful and not at all shorter or less rangey than explosive punches. Implosive punches should definitely not feel any shorter than explosive punches. The implosive punching is a theory to be used for as many punches as you can, especially when you need power.

Some people like what they see. Some people don't. Some people are jealous. I spent a lot of time in the sport, and now I'm sharing my passion with others. I don't know everything but I know what I learned and I know what works. I've got many compliments from pro/amateur boxing coaches around the world and fighters that have met me in person. Instead of arguing or talking trash, people should try out the techniques and see if I'm legit or not. Why judge before you try something?

Very excellent video. Few people describe power punching in this level of detail.

YOU ARE THE BEST BOXING COACH EVER! Better than Title Boxing Boxing Videos.

[JohnnyBDakota]

Thanks for the video. I had issues trying to make sure my feet were planted when I threw. With this, I feel much more balanced, my rotation feels much more natural, and I can feel the power coming from the floor. Not only that, but thanks for also explaining why the technique works conceptually, 'cause it does make sense to me.

[expertboxing]

Definitely not. You don't have to drop more than an inch. It's about how to generate your energy. You're still projecting the energy into your opponent by releasing the arm out, just that the power generation has your muscles visualizing the "inwards motion" rather than outwards.

[expertboxing]

Great question, I think I'll make a video later to answer this. You can throw a sliding 1-2. Step in with the jab, and then drag the back foot in with the right hand.

The problem might be 2 parts. Either your stance has a problem, your strategy has a problem, or a combination of both.

david webb it is increased torque and it does work, these movements int he video are over exaggerated to get the point across, the drop/implosion in a lot more subtle just like switching weight from one leg tto the other is exaggerated in video's the get the point across and help the viewer visualize the differentiating rotation, his implosive movements will be more tight and subtle in a fight or on the bag and u won't know what to look 4 if u don't understand the mechanics

[strengthoverweakness]

The way you explain is a sign of you having to go thru the learning curve and truly understanding what a beginner runs into.

[TakeTheRedPillChicago]

John post a video of you throwing combos so i can visualize the technique better.

[TakeTheRedPillChicago]

im definitely loving your feedback, website, and teachings. it just made me curious why ppl were calling you out. anyway for my poor navigation skills on youtube can you please post a link of you working this tech.

[landseverywhere]

is there a video for working on balance and footwork??

[joelskipper]

Nice, I am super impressed that you know about this. There are levels that are higher. You need to focus on 2 things. #1 don't tighten your fist at the end. It will take you time to retrain your body however you will never move to the next level if you keep tightening up. Tension will stop the flow of power. I know the little snap you get at the end feels good however it is very decieving. My snap is on a totally different level then yours Because I don't tense up. You definitely have to condition your joints. However by staying relax your joints will open up at the end and that is when the real magic begins. #2 instead of dropping both hips or your whole body, only drop one hip. What you need is to internalize this movement. I can do it and you will not see my body move at all, although I am still doing the motion. I can even use my legs to increase the the speed of the torque. The next part in this is linking your fist with your hips. So they move at the same time. This is probably the hardest part since it requires a huge amount of awareness. Anyways good luck bro. I am really impressed by what you

[landseverywhere]

i always catch these videos at the right time...i see my i see an answer vid the next day LOL...love the vids very in depth explanations

[lachycummings]

This is very similar to your circular energy theory, it all ties together.

[JohnSmith-wkbe]

One of the best punch explanation videos ever. Thank you

[sebasv]

thanks. i like the way it seems like martial art. i ll try it.

[expertboxing]

I know you're seeing a lot of external up and out type of movement I'm telling you....trained fighters are taught to maintain and hold that form and to ground in their shots. Talk to trainers, talk to pro boxers, whoever you want. And see what they say. Once you've understood then you'll know how and why it is that you see Mike Tyson jumping around like that. Studying footage doesn't mean anything. Get in the gym and see how these guys train and shadowbox and how they're taught.
