[Rock-fght]

1.) Isometrics

 

2.) weightlifting

 

3.) technique (bone alighnment, hip swing, leg thrust etc. )

 

4.) Hand toughening

 

5.) speed bags (for speed of course)

 

7.) strong arm stabilizer mucles (rotator cuffs)

 

8.) Heavy bag work

 

9.) Persistance

 

10.) TIME!!!! (As in years)

there are actually unnecessary. isometrics, are inferior to other methods of strength training anyway. As far as weightlifting, it helps, but is not necessary for a strong punch. Hitting the heavy bag is sufficient. speed bags are also unnecessary. There are fighters that never tough a speed bag. those teach you basic coordination and to keep your hands up - I can do that with a heavy bag or focus mitts... hand toughening is the byproduct of heavy bag training. there is no need to do any extra training for this.

Or you could just have metal plates put into your knuckles, but that'd just be a shortcut, and we don't like shortcuts

Is that list in order of importants?

 

Because I would think technique would be top.

 

Technique, Bagwork, Persistence, Time

 

But that's pretty broad - for example, Focus is important, but that could be in technique. But focus, energy, a certain.. "evolution" of technique...

 

Quite frankly, a strong punch comes from practice, practice, and more practice.

by all means, do them. My only point in that post was that you can't really call them keys to a stronger punch, because they aren't...

I dont' have much experence, but when i did start training in boxing, i was told i have a strong punch with good technique...now not sure how i did but i did. i did learn however a small technique training which is a basis of keeping you chin down. simple as that. most already know that though i think

some of that article is flawed. he's inaccurate in his statements about muscle. I think speed is overhyped by many people, him included, possibly. The rest of the article is good, though.

Are you talking Power or Strength SevenStar? Isometrics develop lots of power.
