Karate Tournaments Tips And Tricks

When punching in space, if you're not moving there is no effective way to deliver power any power in the punch. It gets delivered both ways into the target and as recoil. Obviously when punching there needs to be some method of delivering power, if we have hold of the ground we can deliver power, if we move forward we can deliver the same amount power plus more by sheer momentum. In this episode of tips and tricks I discuss the benefit of moving when striking, as in the example above the benefit of moving forward while striking is adding your body weight momentum to the punch, this doesn't have to be a huge lunge forward it can be done in millimetres. Delivering punches or strikes from a static stands has to be generated from the feet up. Many people only jab using their arm, and to me they resemble one of those punching puppets because that's about all the power they produce.
