So good luck! Alright, so we're filling up this bob and it's taking a long time to get this filled up. Finally I can hear it. It's almost there. Just so you know that we're filling up the whole thing to the top. And this is actually pretty heavy. This is as much water. I don't know how many liters that is. This is the bigger version. There's a smaller version. This is the bigger version of the bob. So we're filling it up to the top just so you know we're not cheating. Okay, now it's overflowing. There's a lot. Alright, it's full. Very full. See? There's water coming out of there. Okay, put it on the cap where the cap goes. Okay, got the cap on. Put the bob on. See if you can live this thing well. Okay, so I don't know how heavy. I think you would say this is like 200 pounds or something of water. Okay, so here's the drill. So in this video we're going to show you how to punch harder with less effort. So I'm going to show you how to do that. Punch harder with less effort. Be relaxed. It doesn't fall because it's slippery. I'll punch a little harder if you do not have enough effort. How to punch harder with less effort. Let me show you how to do that and get really hard punches with less effort. I didn't even use that much power. I think about 50% and you'll be able to get knockout power with that. So stay tuned. Okay, so let me show you how to punch harder with less effort. The first tip is to have relaxation. So relaxation, if you end up pushing the target too much and you won't generate enough penetration power and impact into the target. If you lose enough, you get to have more impact on the target. And you can hear it from the sound. If it's a push, it's going to be a thud. If it's more relaxed, it's going to be a smack. So you hear the sound a little bit different. If it's a partner, that's going to be holding a pad. You bring a pad. If you're holding a pad, if it's a stiff punch, it's going to be a punch. You can hear the thud, right? And if it's more relaxed, it's going to be more of a smack. The pitch is higher. And which one do you think caused more damage? The second one, because it goes into the target more. So it is a stiff punch, intense. You hear the thud, but if you do a more relaxed punch, it's more of a higher pitch, like a smack. And it actually does a little bit more damage. Actually a lot more damage if you can train it well. So that's on a pad and that's the difference that the opponent is going to feel. So now on the bob, because we show you on the bob so that you can see that, it's not just a smack, it's actually momentum behind it enough to push down a 300 pound bob with a slippery floor. So this is slippery floor. It's easy for you to slide on this thing. So first tip is to relax. Make sure that your feet are relaxed, your hips are relaxed, arms are relaxed, neck is relaxed, and all your joints are relaxed. So the more relaxed you are, you get to engage more of your muscles, more of your joints. Once it tense up, then you start to lock up specific parts of your body with power. You might, I mean with the energy stuck in your muscles. You may feel stronger, but actually you will have less of that energy kinetically transferred into the target. So we'll come back and show you another tip on how to punch harder with less effort. The second tip of how to punch harder with less effort is to use spirals and to use whipping motion. So it may not be obvious here, but I am actually doing a whipping motion in my tap. We're talking about spirals, right? There's many spirals that happen when I'm doing this punch. First there's a spiral of my ankle, that's a spiral. Then there's a spiral of my knee, spiral. Then there's a spiral of my hip, that's my hip spiral. Then there's my shoulder spiral, spiral. And then it ends up to my shoulder spiral. Then it goes to my elbow, and it goes to my wrist, and then my knuckles. So there's a big spiral that happens like this on my side spiral. So what does a spiral do? It becomes a chain reaction for your body, a kinetic chain reaction so that you don't lose the energy as it comes in. It actually builds upon each other. It's like a screwdriver, right? So with the spiral energy, then you can basically maximize your joints and your power with less effort because now everything's working together and stacking up until the end. Whenever you do just one straight punch, which is good, but even a straight motion is also a spiral. It's just a longer spiral because there's nothing in nature is absolutely straight. Everything in nature is a curve or a spiral. So this is how we're going to generate power by using what's natural in nature. So even the straightest punch, if you analyze it, still is not absolutely straight. There's still some kind of curve or spiral in it. So why not use that spiral and generate power? So a straight one would be that, right? One straight is possible. You add spiral. It's a little bit more to it. It's a little bit more pushed to it. So a little bit more impact. It's a little bit more power to it. It's a little bit more power to it. So you can get well-do experiences. So a straight is good for the purpose. It's a little bit faster. It's a straight punch. It's good, right? But we add a spiral to it. Further in, right? There's a lot more impact, a lot more power behind it. So that's a spiral. Adding spirals is tip number two. Here's the tip three on how to punch harder with less effort. The key and the secret is using your breath. So how to use your breath is to exhale when you attack. And inhale before you attack. It's like you want to fill up the balloon with gas. Or fill up the car with gas before you use the gas. So you guys breathe in. Big. And then when you exhale, you like to exhale. Obviously people say that's not practical. But you want to train it so that you can do this naturally without thinking. It's to inhale. And then exhale. So adding breath at power. So let's say that I don't do that extra breathing. I just don't breathe that much. I go, that's how much power I get. I didn't breathe. Let's say I added some breath. Added relaxation. Breathe a few times. Obviously in a fight, you don't have time to do this. This is not for a fight. This is just for training. Breathing. Get your oxygen in your whole body through all your body. The more oxygen you have, the more your muscles can perform. The more power you generate. So breathe. So now you've got this oxygen. Take a one deep breath. And then exhale as fast as possible while you touch the toe. Almost. And then it's more relaxed and you now have more power. And now it's natural because you oxygenized your muscles. And you also created relaxation with that breathing. So that is secret number three. Here's bonus secret number four on how to punch harder with less pepper. And a lot of you probably think I'm BSing, but here's the secret. It's to use your mind. How do you use your mind? Well, we're just talking about imagination, talking about intention and trajectory. So maybe, well, you can come in for a second. This. I'm not going to punch hard. Put this on your chest here. Slide. Solid. So while we're talking about trajectory, let's say that I don't have trajectory. I just punch, let's say the pad. Okay. Punching the pad. So what happens? You don't feel that much, right? Where does it feel the energy is? I feel it in the center, but it's... It bounces off. So what I'm doing is I'm basically just punching the pad. And there's not enough penetration because how much distance between here and his body is this thing, which is like four inches. And he's got his arm, there's just like another three inches. And then his body's behind that. So it's like almost a foot. Okay. So if I just punch the surface, none of that energy I created with my body is actually reaching him. It's all being dissipated by this stuff in between. Now if I use trajectory and say that I have a needle, I want to put it through and into his body. Just imagine. So I imagine I want to punch behind the target. What impact do you think that is? It went up probably 50% or more. 50%? Okay. So let's say I use my mind. I'm just imagining that my punch is actually going through the target. It's going through his chest. I had to imagine it. So the more you can practice imagining this, the better you can get it. Okay. It was in the high percentages, I would say that was even more about 60, 65. And I use less power than the one I just did. Because I'm focusing, I'm using more of my mind to focus on where my power, where my energy wants to go. And when you do that, then you don't have to use as much energy because you're not wasting it. If you just go, boom! It may get in, it may not. Because you're using a shotgun effect. Blast it, hopefully something is going to hit. Okay. You only need one bullet and it's going to pierce and you get a headshot and the guy's dead. Okay. Don't kill anybody with this. But that's the key. So the key is how to train your mind. It's just by imagination. How I do it is I just imagine that there is an invisible line that goes through my knuckles and goes through the thing, invisible line goes to his chest and maybe inside his chest. So I just imagine that invisible line and then I punch along the invisible lines. Okay. So that's one way of doing it. There are some other videos that don't have time today. But we'll just do it one more time. A little bit different mind technique that I just showed you. Okay. And I didn't use that much power. Did I feel bored in the last one? Yeah, not in the back. I felt it in my chest. Was it a push or was it a punch? No, it was a punch. So a lot of people say, you're going to just push the ball. No, that was not a push. That was a punch. And it's through this much material and his arms and he felt that one. Okay. So how do you use your mind to increase your punching power? Your mind doesn't have muscles. It's just your intention and it's just your imagination and your thoughts. So I can do it. He's saying that it works. If you don't think it works, then that's fine. Use the other techniques. So those are four secrets of how to punch harder with less effort. So there you have it. It's a bonus secret on how to punch harder with less effort. So just as a disclaimer, these are just techniques and drills and you may not be able to use them in a situation of a fight. They're just training routines that you can use to develop a more power with less effort. And if you train it long enough, it becomes part of your natural body ability and it becomes part of your everyday punching power. So you probably don't have time to do all the breathing or imagination, but the more you practice, the more you get good at it and the more it becomes natural and automatic for you. You don't even have to think about it and it's going to be in your punching power all the time. So you like this video?
