For any punch to contain real power:

1. Weight must transfer from the back leg to the forward leg.

2. The hips must turn (one pulling and the other pushing).

3. The back muscles must pull and engage to turn the upper body.

4. The shoulder of the striking hand must turn over.

5. The hand/fist/arm must time the transference of the power and momentum into the target.

It is important that all of your striking and movements have the feeling that it is the body that moves the arms, and not the arms or hands that lead the body. It is the body that propels the arm forward when punching, and the body that pulls it back when recoiling and re-setting the strike. The power of the punch comes from the synergy produced by combining the push of the rear leg with the turn of the hips, along with the pull of the back and the added rotation of the shoulder. The extension/straightening of the arm is merely the means of timing by which this power is transferred into the target.

From your stance, push off from the floor with your rear leg and start to shift your weight forward onto the front leg. At the same time, turn and pivot on the toes of your front foot, pushing your front hip forward and pulling your rear hip back. You should feel your hips sink as you do this—you want to feel heavy in the hips and light on your feet as you strike. As this is happening, your arm should begin to extend. You should extend the arm as if you had a wall on your left side preventing your elbow from moving outside of your “silhouette.”
