The reverse movement of the hips you advise increases what YOU feel as you punch, but decreases what the opponent feels. Hit a bag or friend to confirm. If you wanted to slam a car into a wall, you wouldn't hit the brakes just before impact.
That is correct sir. I trained for a year with a style that did this kind of hip motion, and even though the school itself was really good, I couldn’t stay because of this problem. Double hip doesn’t work. Even the JKA stopped doing it. The hips go where the punch goes. Keep it simple
@@prometheusboat Interesting. Perahps you would agree that punching is punching, regardless of the art. If so, I wonder if you could point to any other style or striking art that employs a similar dual direction hip motion. Also, if energy has already been transmitted before the hip motion is reversed, as you say, what is the purpose of the reversal? How does vector movement of body mass fit into this understanding?
Correct. Effective punch requires Side hip movement with quick stop, a kind of quick forward rotation. On many videos we can see this move not being applied in the technique. Good post.
So... At the moment of maximum velocity, just a moment before impact, an opposite force -torque in the opposite direction - gets created by resetting the hip backward that... nullify the all thing...🤔 Is that what they call kime? I personally find the concept of Chinkuchi more logical.
I went both to boxing gym and karate school, and here is what I can tell you : Karate punches are actually useful for fighting. I was in doubt at first, because I started with boxing, and their technics are wildly different. But the fact is, boxing punches works when you are really mobile and the opponent doesn't try to catch your arms. Yes if you are fresh and strong you can pull your arms quickly and jump around the battlefield... But imagine someone who is tired and can't move as fast. Suddenly boxing punches become problematic because they engage too much of your body forward. Whereas karate punches will give maximum power while standing still. They are made to prevent your gravity center from moving forward, and it helps you pull not your punches, but your full body back if someone catch your arm. Accent is on stability, and they are still hella powerful. Tl;dr : Boxing punches if someone catch you, you re done for. Karate punches if someone catch you, they are done for. I would still draw the hip after the punch, not during.
@@oneoranota Good reply, and I agree with most of what you say, but the body mechanics are literally the same when it comes to punching, but the way the body is adjustable in both Boxing and Karate depends upon the practitioner themselves.
Do you pull pelvis/hip a ittle bit backward (loading phase) and then forward? There is a term for this but I cant remeber it, this is the way I try to do hip rotation in punching.
as someone who has been practicing karate since 1978 I say this is absolutely wrong - unless you want the kimono - gi - sound effect! try it like this on a makiwara
SENSEI , WHERE IS THE POWER ? LOOKS COOL BUT NO POWER , TRY PRO BOXING , SAME HIP ROTATION BUT DIFFERENT A LITTLE BIT PLUS THE SHOULDERS ......... THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH ALL COMBAT SYSTEM EXCCEPT PRO BOXING , NO POWER IN PUNCHING.
