Was expecting something pretty bad considering this is Buzzfeed but they did better than I thought. They only made 1 mistake in the video and didn't include 2 tips that would actually make it perfect. When you are throwing the punch, you don't want to make a fist because that will clench your muscle's causing a slower punch, you want to throw a punch with your hand loose till the last second. Right before you are about to make impact, that is when you clench your fist, you don't clench anytime during the punch or right before it. Some tips they missed is to exhale on the punch, this creates extra power and if you are in a fight, it gives you an opportunity to breath so you don't get the wind knocked out of you because while you are punching, you are in your most vulnerable state of getting punched back. Considering this was a jab, you also want to step in with this specific punch with the front foot first and the back foot following because you can reach your target faster. Some common mistakes are to cock your hand back, don't do this, the jab is a distracter/stunner shot not a power shot and even if this was a power shot, cocking back reveals to your opponent you are about to punch them and it also makes your punch take more time.

"the perfect human knows how and when to punch" ahh that's where the problem is. I'm not perfect and neither is everyone

You guys took this comment seriously, i posted this when i was getting ready for school and i was a little pissed. It seems like it struck a nerve on somebody else younger 🤣

[MehdiNPartDeux]

They forgot the two most important parts. First, have your fingers pointing up, then shoot your fist forward in a straight line while turning your hand. This adds more power and prevents elbow joint injuries. Second, hit with your first two knuckles, so you don't break your fingers. There's a reason why so many boxers break their fingers when punching without a glove.

What if my opponent has arms? What do I do then?

[mi-chanlover]

Instructions not clear: I broke my hand

“The real perfect punch is the one you never have to throw” ahh yes I have truly perfected the technique 😅

[Mr-Tibbster]

also, make sure the thumb is not over extended as shown in this video at 0:19, have it resting over the index finger only, you can over tense the tendons in the hand if you place it over both the index and middle finger, which can lead to an easy break or a "boxers fracture" due to vibrations travelling up the hand on impact, by having the thumb over the index finger only, it reduces this, creating a soft shock absorber.

I fight a lot. And I've learnt that how you punch doesn't matter. The point of a fight is to win. Shit, I beat someone with a rock before.

[germainehong]

Well the best punch I know is fruit punch

[woofymeow]

you say the perfect punch is a punch you never have to throw
i say the perfect punch is a punch you need to throw only once.

[stef]

I know what I'm doing when I go to school tomorrow...

[Hi-yrlw]

Can we see the number of the girls came here to learn how to punch? ✨✨ (I think only me lol- )

[Lunarri]

I've always closed my fist the very instant before contact. It helps to add more power and leaves you more able to react to your opponent. If you have your hands tight from the start, it makes you more rigid. Fluidity is key to winning a fight.

Who needs courage when you've got a gun?
