  • this is from the jack dempseys guide to championship fighting book.

  • @thecrazyoftheinsane

    Yes some of the techniques come from Jack's Style of fighting. I view his book as the Bible of Power Punching and anybody who wants to Punch Powerfully should read it and most importantly do it.

  • @BareFisted heck yes, i loved that book, it explains so well how to punch PROPERLY. especially that power line punching tip, ever since i learned about that, no more spraned hands in foreever! i used to get messed up sparned hands and wrists all the time because i was taught to aim with my first two knuckles, then i read the dempseys book and started punching with my powerline, never had a hurt hand since! and my punches are much more solid and powerful to.

  • @sk8forlife90

    Yes it's the bible of power punching if you want to learn how to hit hard.

  • I can punch harder than 99 percent fo professional boxers standing still....but 99 percent of professional boxers can punch harder than I movin.

  • Then you need to learn how to punch harder while moving.

  • Power punches are deffinaltely the finishers but speed and agility for the set up of a power punch are more important. A power punch takes to much tme to set up and if your up against an oponent that can read a punch they'll have a jab combo on you knocking you off balance then oppening you up to a power punch.

  • One of the easiest ways to deal with a speedy agile fighter is to step on his foot and punch away.

    Or pin his arms with yours and punch him with your shoulders and head butt him. Both are very effective options.

    You can develop speed and agility with your power punches with either fist if you learn the art of shifting.

  • Im a woman so please bare with me but.........my question is, do I step with the leg opposite to the arm that im punching with to get power and also punching as soon as I step provides maximum power , correct?

  • You can do it the way you discribed or you can drop step with the leg on the same side you're punching with.

    Just make sure you start the punch a split second before you drop step.

    Also don't just step, drop step which is shifting your weight to the leg you're stepping with, it should feel like you stepped off a curb.

    Also push off with the rear foot for more power.

    By the way great question.

    Take care

  • i've also boxed since i was little and i have to agree with bcroft, the form does seem sloppy..

    not only that, with footwork like that, it seems even LESS practical in a real fight than boxing..

    i'm sure the man in the video can punch hella hard, but he'll never touch me with that kind of footwork

  • Wow you boxed for years.

    All that tells me is you don't have a clue how to punch bare knuckle.

    Turning your fist horizontal is the worst thing you can do when hitting without gloves on, but then you wouldn't know that because you box and use gloves.

    Guys like you may know how to box but have no clue how to fight.

    As for throwing a jab I wouldn't, it doesn't work in a streetfight but a straight lead jolt does.

    Pugilism is alot different than boxing, you need to learn the difference.

  • @BareFisted

    what are u talking about

    jabs are great if you know what your doing

    they're very powerful

    but if done wrong then its a total waste of energy and a chance to get hit

  • @davidsaso1234

    The modern jab is used to score points,throw an opponents timimng off and keep him at bay.

    It is not a knock out punch, It's a set up for the right cross.

    This may work well in the ring but not in the street.

    Remember to deliver a jab you have to stand in front of who you throw it at,that means he can hit you too.

    A straight left with a drop step is more powerful and can be a knock out punch.

    But I agree that you do need to know what you're doing to throw a jab.

    Take care.

  • @BareFisted the left is not a throw away punch. i have knocked out good fighters in the ring with a straight left, if you do some weights and workout your body evenly the left is as hard as the right but if you are right handed it takes longer to train the left to do as much action as the right so you still adopt the orthodox stance. when you throw a left properly your chin is completely protected by your shoulder and can slip his right too easy. Looks like jab he is doing but is power punch..

  • @Holdencruze100

    You are correct, the straight left is a very powerful punch, too bad most fighters don't use it.

  • What your saying basically right, i been doing jkd for over a year now nd the best way to punch is not vertically and not horizontaly its half way between them both because it lines up all the bones in your arm. Alot more powerful and less injury. But yea what your saying the wind up is a complete telegraph any with basically knowledge of fighting would of dropped tht guy on the nose b4 he has had time to hit.

  • Hey maybe if you take off your wraps and gloves.

    Also your boxing shoes,mouth piece, groin protecter and step out of the ring,

    you may appreciate how to fight in the street.

    And by the way Rocky wannabe if you turn your hand horizontally bareknuckled you will injure your hand.

    But then they don't teach you that in the gym because it's not taught there anymore.

  • @BareFisted I don't think turning one's fist over actually does make a lot of difference as far as the likelihood of injury is concerned... I can throw straight punches at my heavy bag without gloves or wraps all day and be fine. I'm much more likely to hurt my wrist throwing hooks, during which my hand stays mostly vertical. I think punches like this (like wing chun, without turning over the hand) work best for close straight punches. Keeping your hand vertical allows you to get power from your

  • @ruebuscm

    I agree when hitting a heavybag as long as you keep the punch at clavicle height or below, but turning one's fist over does make a big difference when hitting a head,also to make sure your hooks don't cause injury keep the fist turned at a diagonal angle.

    Take care and thanks for the comment.

    Daniel-

  • @BareFisted core during a straight punch. Turning the hand horizontally only works for punches at long range, but adds a lot of snap to one's punch, and really helps put the rotation of the whole body into the punch. It creates more power, in my opinion, and poses very little chance of injury.

  • @ruebuscm

    I usually turn my punches and get the snap at a diagonal position while also drop stepping, this generates a large amount of power.

  • I doubt that, just ask any of them and see if they can tell you where the jab came from, and while your at it ask them to teach you how to shift while striking.

    Most boxers I've talked to have never seen it or been taught it until I show it to them.

    And then they wonder why their coaches have never taught it to them.

  • That's pretty basic dude. I've never trained or anything like that as far as a teacher / gym goes, but I know how to throw a punch

  • Because if you set yourself to throw a punch like that against somone who can box, they will knock you out before you begin twisting your hips.

  • jabbing comes from daggers actually, parrying thats what the jab does. i see karate form in the jab, but in short its suppose to be Hip and piviting to move momentom. the hips acting as a driving force and the arm acting as a "Channel".

  • The weight shifting they are demonstrating seems very similar if not identical to traditional footwork in many fighting styles around the world nothing new. How did everyone get on the subject of being a technical fighter or just a brawler?? It's the fighter and his experience that matters; some are meant to be fighters, but anyone can become one in the right circumstances. Think of conscription soldiers over the span of history.

  • What's the point of posting a video if you're gonna play music over the tutorial?

  • tkd isn't rly a selfdefense art... rather a sport with out proper guard and lacking hand techniques : ).

    Martial arts helps but it's a person thats fighting not the technique.

  • lol being trained clearly helps, if you just go out there and swing and when your gassed within one minute of throwing anger punches then the person who is trained will pumble you

  • spot on brother conditioning the man its the key ingrediant

  • thats pure shit mate if u drop any one with a stright jab then u have done something no on eles ever has also its all well and good sayin use a haymaker but by the time u wind it up u have been hit with 3 hooks for this reason u talk shit mate

    they way u talk i can tell u properly never need in the deep end at all just some jumped up child spouting off

  • I've knocked several people out with jabs, what are you smoking?

  • They cant fight then.

    you should NEVER get stopped by a jab.

  • my dad was a born fighter he taught me my 2 bros how to fight and we all can break a 5 inch bord

  • wish he wouldve taught u to spell to huh

  • board happy now

  • Punchers aren't made there born with it. Its energy transfer form legs threw core to shoulder and with the right leverge,balance and timing threw your arm.

  • If that was true then why did Mike Tyson Lose against Buster Douglas.

    Did he forget how to punch or was his training flawed?

    Even Jack Dempsey didn't believe "the fighters are born" myth, that's why he wrote the book "championship fighting".

    He realized he was helped along by different trainers, coaches, fighters etc...

    He wrote his book based in part on this self discovery.

  • fuckin hate these vids the music ruins it

  • Sorry.

  • what the song i love it ???

  • "Sinner" by Drowning Pool

  • slight pivot of the hips with a continues movement of the arm which you should drive forward with the hip movement at the same time bend your legs slightly in the movement it's the best way to bring body strength into a punch these lads are doing just that this is what you call old school British boxing were the modern boxing these days the fighters use more shoulder and tap of the foot

  • Thanks for your insight Karlz121, much appreciated.

    -Daniel

  • oh and can someone help me hone my shovel hook?

  • I really hope this is drills and not technique, otherwise its fucking horrible.

  • What's "fucking horrible" is the way somebody looks after they get hit by one of these strikes.

  • I hope you understand that hand can move much faster then full body, and those punches were like pushing not really striking, and those punches... you like saying "here comes my punch"

  • If faster is all it takes then olympic boxers would all be knock out artists since they are faster at punching then most pros.

    But it takes more than just fast hands.

    Think about it.

  • Please tell me your joking...Arm punches arnt hard punches. It's just the weight of your arm traveling. You need to push off your back foot. Thats where power comes from. Thats why a left hook is more powerfull then a left jab.

    Speed kills but only with your body weight behind it. This is basic stuff...Where do you get these ideas? Have you ever even been to a boxing class?

  • Sorry Mic, you are wrong, but then thats how they teach it in boxing classes now a days

    There is more to it than this.

  • I'm pretty sure that i am right. I don't clam to know everything though, i'm open to debate. Convince me.

    Please explain why an arm punch is harder then a punch with your whole body. (Including your arm) meaning it's just as fast if not faster since you start with your arm a split second before your backfoot. In a jab anyway. Or lead left.

  • Hey Mic, I think there was some miscommunication on my part, sorry.

    I don't believe in throwing arm punches, but full power punches using as much of your bodyweight as possible.

    In order to punch more powerfully you need to add the drop step and upward surge to your arsenal.

    -Daniel

  • Oh right then...I just looked at the video again and seen that the guy wasnt throwing arm punches at all so i wondered about that lol.

    But yeah thats exacly how to put power into your punches.

  • take the music off and the normal audio on? its easier to understand when you canhear the explanation

  • Go to the Super Hero Systems website and sign up for the newsletter, in a short while we will be putting out short video clips on punching info, conditioning and self protection.

    Take care

    Daniel-

  • ok once again i come to u with a question i have Jack Dempseys Championship fighting now the whole drop step is so hard for me to get just how does one do it in putting is weight behind the straight JOLT (notice i didn't say jab)? explain the mechanics of the drop step lets say im in my left lead stance to i pick my foot up or do i slide it forward? which way enables me to properly put that umph in my jolt?

  • Stand on a 4-6 inch platform with both feet and step down with your lead foot.

    Your foot should slap the ground as your weight shifts to your lead foot..

    Hold the position for 3-5 seconds to get your balance. Then repeat for 5-10 reps.

    Your rear foot stays on the platform.

    This drill will teach you how to drop step quickly.

    You see many fighters know how to step with their punches, but not many know how to drop step.

    There is a big difference in the two.

    -Daniel

  • Hey 1urban warrior, yeah your right, all that's shown in the DVD later on, we just didn't show it on the video clip.

    But thanks for noticing, take care.

    Daniel-

  • hey is there an independent Ebook i can download? that has the basic components in a nutshell? im a who learns by reading and illustration sorry but if u can help me plz do btw im a subscriber to the online zine so yea as soon as u can respond u know where to contact me

  • I will say this though, if your partner would use a simple push-off( no not a push-step) he would accelerate even faster + in my humble opinion he is a little to straight on for the street, but that is merely my personal opinion

  • Hey Barefisted, as usual most miss the point.

    1.The more weight we put in motion the more momentum we gather, the more powerful our strike=power

    2.The faster we accelerate the more force we possess=more power and by using a push-off we will shorten the impulse time creating even more power.

    A jab is fast, a jab is weak, a jab is a snap and is great for scoring points-not street fighting where most are wild and time is essential, so don't sweat the small stuff or small minds.

  • Hey thanks for the comment 1urbanwarrior.

    Alot of these guys seem to have never knocked out anyone in their lives much less know how to power punch by the way they talk or write.

    They just need to learn to think outside the box before they get put into one, if you know what I mean.

  • Yeap-Know your right!

  • riiiight if you move your head forward like that when throwing a punch there is a great chance of you getting knocked the fuck out...

  • i think in da strreets u need speed n good hits n if u hard try to get power punches n go crazy but pay attention to ur appointese move ments

  • this type of thing would be handy for street fighting.but i actually have my own versions of power hitting.

  • wtf is this this isn't any of the basic boxing not the advanced boxing i never seen a pro boxer trying this move

    probally if he tries this he would get knocked out cuz he making too much mistakes

  • Thats your problem, this isn't boxing this is pugilism.

    But then you wouldn't know this cuz you making big mistake thinking it's the same thing when it's not.

  • I didnt know mini mi boxed. That shit would get you murdered in the ring.

  • That shit in the ring will get you killed in the street.

    But its funny, the shit we teach give boxers fits in the ring.

    Go figure.

  • bleh... try that crap in a boxing match and see where it gets you. i can tell you where... flat on your back. 2 years of amateur boxing.

  • his guard is down the whole time. if he did that in a boxing match, he'd got popped with a 5 hit combo that dropped him where he stood. it's too slow, telegraphed, and his hand positions leave him wide open to an incredible and effective counterattack that would drop him like a sack of potatoes.

  • Typical boxer mentality,Stick to the ring.

  • it seems as though you wouldn't be able to follow up with other punches ,because you would be off balance after your initial punch. especially if your first punch missed.

  • Yes it would seem so, but the fact is that you would be in balance and could shift your lead and strike with your other fist if you needed to or with the same fist.

    Alas shifting is a lost art amongst fighters today.

  • its nothing like ive ever seen before but hey i have an open mind because one who stops learning stops growing

  • it seems similar to shotakan and the first form of the straight punch

  • It could very well be, but I'm not too familiar with that style of Martial Art.

  • Good video. I played it with out sound and could see the correct mechanics. These are off line attacks, though. I would lead with an off line attack and follow with a straight attack. So, I think you do need to be able to step straight in with a punch. I think I will try these drills.

  • Thanks for your comment "Top Ten", straight in works just as well.

    In fact we teach it that way also, just like Jack Dempsey taught it and did it.

    Daniel-

  • nice foot work and wight transfer combo remeber that tha gard some times is a bit low and sometimes might have to come back up to protect the face. but nice job cheif!

  • Thanks for the comment Eric, take care.

    Daniel-

  • nice use of footwork boss and the use of bodyweight.

  • Thanks.

  • as rampage jackson says, "i use my ass"

  • Two words:

    KINETIC LINKAGE

    That's what this is really all about... getting all the potential kinetic force of the movements (feet-hips-shoulder-elbow) and focusing them into the strike.

    After all, you can't build a chain with missing links....

  • That's partly true, But if most martial arts teach this then why can't they produce it in their students.

  • Because punching power is genetic. It is possible to maxamize your power but the kind of brutal one hit KO power that guys like Tua, Hearns, Zambidis and Julian Jackson is something you have to be born with, same with hand speed.

    Props for the Living Colour though lol

  • He's just using his body to improve the force behind the punch. Nearly every martial art teaches you this as basics.

  • Allow me to spoil the secret to punching as hard as you are capable of. Plant the feet, pivot the back foot like your stomping out a cigarette while rotating the upper body using the abdominal muscles, and once your right shoulder is a bit closer to the target than the left, snap out the arm and keep the elbow tucked in. Power comes from pivoting the right foot, using the abdominal muscles to rotate the body, and snapping out the arm at the last second. That sht emost powerful punch. A Cross.

  • Sorry triple nips but that's not the optimum way of delivering power, but it is pretty solid.

    But that's two dimensional punching,there is a more powerful way.

    Technically a right cross loops over your opponents left jab, a straight right comes straight out.

  • Theyre the same punch just a different target and the cross makes more of a slashing motion. I dont know what you mean by 2 dimensional though. We live in the third dimension I dont know if a two dimensional punch is possible.

  • If they're the same punch then why is one called a straight and the other a cross?

    That's because they are two different punches.

    What I meant about "dimensional" is that your description of punching hard is missing a two key element that will make it more powerful.

  • They have the same "anatomy" and are thrown in the same way, just one comes in between the guard and the other goes around the guard almost like an overhand. The word cross is actually just used instead of straight in the UK.

  • No problem I like em both.

    Take care.

  • I know what you mean two dimensional now, but most types of increase punching power things are gimmicks, like the "1 inch punch" the "Drop punch", "chain punching" etc. Alot of power is in your genes. Some people can hit hard as hell and some can't hit hard at all. Also alot of it is timing, in order of the movements of the punch and knowing when to throw it because the punch they dont see coming hurts the most.

  • Very true, "the one you don't see coming hurts the most" and can knock you out.

  • Yup even a weaker punch could. Or if it comes after a combo.

  • Actually there isn't necessarily a difference between a right cross and a straight right. A right hand punch is a "cross" if it "crosses" over your opponent's jab (like you said). This could be a straight right, an overhand right, or a right hook.

  • Hey Naksa2 thanks for the comment.

    And your right, there are times when you need to be aggressive and use power and other times when you don't.

    -Daniel-

  • barefisted, in a street fight your exacly right, looking for the weak points is completely pointless and much more inconvenient :P. Power and intensity takes the cake in that one. i was just thinking probably in a boxing match you would probly concetrate on the right angle and direction.

    But as you mentiaoned if this happened in a street fight then yah. you obviously know what your talking about so yah.

  • your exacly right shodan11211 its nothing to do with power, it determines on hitting the exact point. for example.

    in a boxing match sometimes one punch will take a boxer down. other times they pound eachother around that area and do not go down.

    you do not need power to knock somebody out. its all on where to hit.

    unless your planning on destroying your target.

  • yup + body have 86 vital point where u can't muscle and in those 86 point 16 is on the head not tough to put someone knock out when you have the speed, the tech. and you know the vital point are :)

  • Guys try finding those exact vital points when you get jumped in the dark by two or three attackers.

    It's not that easy to do.

  • thats not the point my point was that sometimes you do not need to use 100% power in a strike providing you know where to punch the statement aout people getting sued was just an examply of it maybe being better to pit the right spot than hit anywhere hard. also if an attacker/s were armed then the necessary force would increase as there is a greater chance of fatality or serious injury meaning you would prob be ok to break an arm cos otherwise they might have killed you

  • He's clearly not training for combat, he's training for power. These are technique exercises. The harder part will come when he trains for real world combat with speed, power and endurance.

    @ shodan 11211: where I live you can't get sued for defending yourself in a fight, but even if we could I'd rather get sued than get stabbed or crippled by one or more assholes.

  • Hey axel these techniques were also used in the teaching of soldiers in WW1 and WW2 to fight in the trenches using the bayonet and fighting hand to hand.

  • i agree with my fellow matrial artist here you can see his punches about 3 years before they land. also the only reason he can get the amount of power into his punches is because he has about 20stone of pure muscle behind him mear mortals like me who are 9 and abit stone need to use our hips to get the momentum and force behind a punch

  • If that is what you believe then keep doing what you're doing.

    All I can say is I have girls who weigh 120lbs. who can hit harder than most men.

    You have to understand most martial artists can't punch their way out of a paper bag.

    The principles of power punching work for anyone at any weight.

    By the way if you only use your hips you're only using about 30 percent of your power.

    Try driving the feet from the ground first and then adding the hips to increase your power.

    Take care.

    Daniel

  • however the problem with driving with your feet incrases the punching time considerably allowing the opponent to evade and counter the strike. punching with the hips is much faster and less obvious and with the mind set of punching through a target and not at it, you can still punch hard enough to break ribs. plus the fact what martial arts experience do you have???

  • Go to SuperHeroSystems website and click on the about page, that will tell you all about my martial arts experience.

    Again you'll generate more power if you move your feet and body with your punch.

  • granted you will gain more power if you move your feel but is it necassary to use that much power? im my experience you can punch quite soft and still harm your opponent providing you hit them in the right place eg. nose solorplex etc. also with the current rise in politically correctness some people are getting sued for defending themselves because they used excessive force so do u agree in some cases lack of power may suffice on occasion providing you know where to hit.

  • Yes I would agree with you.

  • he is so masterful and skillful! beat tyson at his best anyday!!

  • Thanks for the comment and your honesty.

    You have a right to your opinion, I may not agree with it, but that's okay.

    Take care

    -Daniel-

  • from my little ammount of martial arts knowledge, it would appear that your punches telagraph wayyy too much. im in shotokan karate, and though i probably wont be able to, a black belt in my style would find it easy to block counter that because it shows so much and leaves you open. please, dont get me wrong, im not saying my style is better, just from what i know this is what i think.

  • and when the dude side steps grabs your arm and uses your momentum against you cause when the dude hits the red bag he looks like he'd fall over if he missed....

  • Looks can be deceiving. I can tell you that he is not unbalanced, maybe you would be if you threw this way, but that's because you wouldn't know the principle of controlled aggression that we teach on the DVD's.

  • Ma che razza di roba è??????

  • Wow this is some joke what ur doing is having some kids think that's how to fight and when they go fight someone they ganna think this is going to work.... it's not, the person will have to run into ur punches u u punch like that... lmfao. No one will buy your dvd. lol

  • Judging by the name you use ,I think the kids should be worried about you.

  • wow

  • Hey Phil why don't you sack up and be a man and buy it yourself after all it does have a money back guarantee.

  • because i'm not a fool. if u wanna sell your crappy dvd's u might not want to show the crap thats on it b4 hand. And if u wanna grab some dumb ass kid who doesnt know any better to buy one of your useless dvds u might wanna lower the prices.

    theres alot of excellent training techniques on youtube that respectable trainers let u watch for free. why would u train your fighters such bad habits. How u train is how u end up fighting. All power and no brains, and bad habits isnt a winning strategy.

  • Your crappy comments are worse than your last ones. Your not a fool you worse and by the way if those others are teaching free info go to them, don't get upset because the DVDs are expensive If you can't afford them go watch the free ones. Remember you get what you pay for and besides why have a boxing instructor when you can get the info for free on You Tube Right.

  • whatever Chuck Norris. explain to me why everybody who posted a comment all agrees that your training videos r a joke?

  • Hey everybodys got a right to be wrong.

  • lol is this a joke?

  • No, the fact that you don't know what your talking about is the joke.

  • Miguel Cotto does that movement when he fights. especialy when he gets cokcy

  • Well I'm gonna make a little prayer to satan then practice these new punching techniques I have learned on this video on dead bodies hanging from a meathook in my friend's backyard.

  • i love you

  • Personally, I'd rather be a master of something that will save my life than to be able to box shadows and sling words.

    P.S. Jeremiah for Perezident!

  • This doesn't look like good punching to me, at all. I practise bareknuckle on the bag, in shadowboxing, in pretty much all areas of training except open sparring. These punches don't have the *snap* that should accompany a good punch - the explosive force of the hips, waist, from the feet, up to the shoulder, followed by a lightning quick withdrawal. It takes some people longer to learn than others. You don't just lunge into the opponent.

  • Power is basically speed and weight put behind it, this guy is putting ALL of his weight in, not really fast, but if it hits, sure it will do some damage, he'd be better to lower the weight he puts in it, and put some speed behind it like you just said.

  • You can be taught how to punch harder by learning the proper technique and body mechanics involved in the punching motion and also by practicing exerises that develop attributes like root, dropping, body unity etc

    Overall your comment is ignorant and only serves to show you have absolutely no fucking clue what you're talking about. Good day :)

  • lmao nice comment. couldnt help but laugh even tho im american. btw who cares about spelling on the net?

  • fuk man that short guy is buffffeeed!!!

  • Not true, you can be taught how to punch harder. By the way learn how to spell.

  • what exactly did i spell incorrectly?
