dude does thai boxing...he's a champ in his weight class..i'd love to throw hands with him at least once...
but he's all of 5' tall and 140 lbs...but i'm sure would rape anyone within reach.
you relax when you throw a punch?! not to sound ignorant...but how to you generate power? just put your body into it and follow through?
sounds counterintuitive doesnt it?? .... but if you tense up you wont generate any power (youll hit hard cause youre a big guy, but not nearly as hard as you would if you relaxed) ... you only tense up at the moment of impact
reason being is power comes from the weight behind your punch and the speed at which it travells ... when you tense up you slow yourself down significantly and thus rob yourself of power
im sure someone whose a more proficient striker than me could explain it better
