 I'm Sifu David. Today we're going to show you how to punch harder too. This is a continuation of our popular video, 100 punch harder number one. So due to popular demand, we're coming back with five more techniques on how to increase your punching power. Stay to the end of this video and you can get a secret technique. So let's get started. Technique number five to increase your punching power is adding rotational force into your punches. So let me show you how to do that right now. Rotational force. There's different body parts of your body that rotate. All right. So if you start from the feet, your feet can rotate by rotating out the heel. Your knees will rotate by rotating in. Your hip rotates by rotating in like this also. And your shoulder, your waist rotates. Your shoulder rotates back and forth like this. All right. So those are the three main ways of adding rotational force. There's more, but then those are the basic ones. Okay. So rotating the heel and the foot out like this, rotating the hips and the waist and then rotating the shoulders. All right. So I'm not here to impress you how hard I can get. I'm just going to show you how you can increase your punching power by adding these techniques. Okay. So let's just start with isolating each one. So let's say that I'm just going to rotate my shoulders. All right. Just my shoulders. Okay. I'm trying to just isolate that part. Maybe the other parts are connected. So let's say that I just do my shoulders. All right. So that's the gauge to start with. All right. It's not that strong. It's not that powerful because I'm only using my shoulders. Okay. Now let's say that I add my waist and my hips a bit and my shoulders together. Okay. So we add that. How much more impact is that? I'd say about 1.5. 1.5 more times. Okay. Just by engaging another part of your body. Okay. Now the third one, I'm going to add and I'm going to add my feet to rotate together with my hips, together with my shoulders. All right. So okay. So I added my hips, my feet, my shoulders. How much more impact is that one? Twice as much. Okay. Now you can practice. Ideally what you want to do is start a kinetic chain and we'll come back to that in a second. Kinetic chain means that we're going to start from the ground because all the most of your energy when you punch comes from the ground. So we're going to bring it up from the feet of the knees, of the hips, of the waist, of your shoulders and into your hips. Okay. So when you practice, when you practice, do it slowly. Start with the feet and then rotate it and spiral it out to your shoulders and then to your hands. So do something like this. Like that. All right. So that's adding rotational force. Let's move on to number four. Technique number four to add power into your punch is something called spring force. Now it's not very commonly used and very misunderstood because spring force is used a lot in Wing Chun and it doesn't use any rotational power. Okay. So let me just demonstrate that. So spring force does not use rotational power. It uses other body parts on your body, other body mechanics, other parts of your alignment. So let's just take a look at the springs in the body. Okay. The biggest one is obviously your legs. These are springs. Okay. So that's one spring. Is your knees your legs? It's actually hamstrings that are pulling your legs back. Okay. And also your quads. Okay. The second spring that is a lot of people find hard to train is the back spring. See a turtle shell? Now straighten it up. See a turtle shell? Now straighten it up. So it's a C that straightens up like that. That's the second spring. Okay. There's another spring that many people don't even know about either. It's this spring. Okay. This is spring that is the squeezing of your lats and sinking of your shoulders. Okay. So if you combine all those three, I'm going to do the same thing and isolate them again. Okay. So this time just hold it in the chest here. Okay. Come a little closer. So let's just do the shoulder without doing any other spring. Okay. Okay. So that's just the shoulder. Okay. Now I'm going to add the lower back spring with the shoulder. Okay. So in a very short distance. Okay. And then I'm going to add my legs a little bit with the back and then with the spring. Okay. So that's another way of generating power. Spring power is not natural to do it. It takes a lot of training to do this. If you see people fighting in the street fight, you're going to see this a lot. Naturally people, you use rotational power because it's easy. It's people, you know, it's part of your body mechanics. But spring power is also natural to not humans, but natural to the animals. Okay. If you study tigers, if you study chimpanzees that jump or squirrels that fly from tree to tree, that's the actual body mechanics that are used. It's called spring power. So I'm not going to go into depth with it. This is just to give you a concept today. So that's the fourth way for technique of adding power to your conscious spring power. The third technique of adding power to your punches is joint force. Now what is joint force? It's actually more about joint connection rather than joint force. Now imagine you had a noodle, wet noodle, and try to push something with it. What happens? Does it move or does it not? No, it doesn't move. It doesn't move because it's a wet noodle, right? So what I'm trying to say is if your arm is a wet noodle and your joints are all disconnected, then if I push something, it's not going to move. Okay. So joint force is the ability to lock in your joints so that when you push, all the parts are connected together. Okay. So that when you push, all that energy is transferred through it does not lose the power through the connections, through the joints. Okay. So how I demonstrate this is through the inch punch. A lot of it is joint force. Okay. I'm going to do the inch punch differently from Bruce Lee. He likes to do it with this, but that's using rotational force actually. So now without rotational force, I have to do this using joint force. So the last video I showed you this one is actually a little bit of joint force in there. Okay. So joint force, you can add by basically relaxing and then basically starting that kinetic chain using the spring and timing up as fast as possible. Okay. So there's not, you don't see much, but if you add it to the other two, it makes a big difference. Okay. So for example, let's say I'm going to do rotational force. Okay. Rotational force. Boom. All right. That's rotational force. And I'm going to not add joint force. Okay. Now I'm going to add joint force to rotational force. Okay. How much stronger is that one? Ailing down on that one. Okay. So it's not something obvious because it has to do with the connections of your joints and the timing of the tightening of your fist and of your joints when you make that impact. Okay. So it's not obvious how you train that. We can show you some in the next video, but that's technique number three, joint force. Technique number four to increase your punching power is to add breath force. What is breath force? It's the power of breathing. It's the power of relaxation. It's the power of focused breathing. Okay. So let's just demonstrate again. Okay. We don't have to use your chest this time. Just hold on here. Thanks. Appreciate that. Okay. So I always use rotational because it's the most obvious. You can see it very clearly on camera. Okay. So rotational force without breathing. Okay. Okay. That's rotational force without breathing. Okay. Now I'm going to add breathing to it. So how much more impact is that? Yeah. There's significant amount more. How much more? 1.75. 1.75 that much? Yeah. Okay. That's actually surprising because I didn't add any more power or effort into that. I just breathed. I just breathed out. Okay. So just actually what I would do is get a friend hold up a panic that don't punch him in the head or punch him in the chest and just do what I did. Just do a punch for very minimal breathing. Okay. And just do another punch with the same amount of effort and just breathe in take a deep breath and use the same effort and ask him how much more impact there is. And he says actually 1.75 more. That's actually surprising. So yeah. So number two technique is to add breathing and focus breathing into your attacks. Okay. So I know a lot of you are going to be you know critics and say okay I'm not punching properly or you don't have enough time to take a deep breath like that or you don't have time to set up your punches. Okay. This is not about using it as a technique. I'm just showing you a concept of how you can put it into your own training to increase your punching power. These are five concepts. Right. Okay. So with that said let's go on to concept number five and technique number five which is using mind force. What is mind force? What the hell am I talking about? Okay. So far I've shown you everything that has to do with something that's you can be seen. Rotational force. You can see that. Spring force. You can see that. Joint force. You can kind of see that. Breath. You can see that. You can hear that. But what is mind force? All right. Well let me just demonstrate. Okay. So hold the pad. Okay. And I'm just going to punch it with the rotational force again. Okay. Okay. So just a regular one. Now I'm going to use a technique using the mind. All right. And I'll tell you what it is in a second. What's the difference? I felt a lot more of a, as if you're projecting a lot further through the, through the net. Through the net. Yeah. Okay. Now, so I'm going to use your chest a bit. Okay. Let me hit that hard. Okay. So this is just a regular one. I'm not going to hit that hard. Okay. Now this is with a little bit of mind force. What's the difference? Yeah. Yeah. I just felt like easy impact. Just shot right through me. Okay. So what am I doing in my mind? It's very simple. All right. It's creating a trajectory with your mind. Okay. Targeting not just the surface, but targeting inside the body. Okay. So imagine that you are going to put a needle into the body. Where in the body you want to put that needle with the power of your punch. Okay. So for example, the first one I'm trying to tear my mind. I'm just hitting. I'm not even thinking about the target. I'm just thinking about just the surface of it. The second time I'm doing, thinking about inside the body. I want that needle to go inside his body and not pass his body. For example, I want to go in the body. That went a little bit too far. Right. So I want to go. Yeah. Yeah. Right. So how about you? All right. Kind of like crumbling inside. Okay. And I didn't really hit that hard. It's about targeting inside the body. Okay. So imagine you can combine all those five things. Rotational force, spring force, joint force, breath force, and mind force, which is basically just trajectory and the intention of where you want to target in the body. How much more powerful will you be? If you think about it, then you don't actually have to hit that hard to cause damage in your attacker. Okay. So a lot of people say, okay, I'm going to be thinking about closing the bench more weights in the gym. But you know what? You don't need to, if you can have all those things working for you. Right. So now it's time to show you the bonus technique. All right. So here's the secret technique you've been waiting for. Now we've been talking about how to increase power. Right. You got rotational, you got spring force. Now, let's do the secret technique. The secret technique will be to combine all five of them. Okay. So first of all, you might want to practice each one of them, and you may take six months to train each one individually, all right, to get good at it. But once you can get good at it, then you can start combining them together. For example, let's see, I want to combine number one, number five and number four. I want to combine my spring power with my rotational power. Okay. So here's rotational power. Okay. Here's spring power. Now let's say I want to combine number five and four, rotational spring power. Okay. Now, is that stronger or less strong? Oh, yeah. A lot stronger, right? Stronger. Okay. So let's say I want to do and add number three, which is joint force. Okay. So I got, I got spring, I got rotation, and then I'm going to add joint force. Okay. So okay. So is that harder than the last one? Yeah. Solid. Solid, right. Okay. Let's I didn't even start at breathing, right? You didn't hear me breathe. So let's start breathing. Okay. I'm going to take a breath. Okay. And then add the spring power, add rotational power, add the joint force. Okay. So, okay. A little bit more, right? Yeah. Okay. And I didn't add the mind trajectory. So let's say I add the trajectory. I want to go past the target. Okay. So what's the difference from the last one? Just, just felt like the full impact of, yeah, like just realizing like the full potential of, of the strike. So you just felt, you just feel like the whole, the full, the whole manifestation of it. So right. Okay. And this little plug I'm using a lot of effort, not at all. You look relaxed and your, your, your light and your release, but not relaxed like you were saying before with just having like wet noodle red. Okay. So thanks for that. So that's the secret technique. So it takes a lot of time to train those individually to get good at them. But once you put it all together, you can make your own combination and you can find out what works for you.
