Short Power


Recommended Posts

I came across a training routine for developing short power a little while ago. What I found interesting is that this technique does not seem to be that wide spread. Anyway I was just wondering if anybody else trains in or has seen any techniques for developing short power, and if so what sort of techniques they are.

Maybe describe teh technique in detail. Maybe it is related to what other already do...

I've seen various methods. One involves stiking from close distance into a bowl full or iron shot - like BBs. The idea is to condition the hands and fingers so that they are tough/hard enough to inflict damage, even from a short range.

Do not try any such exercise without your teacher's guidance, however.

The technique I am referring to involves pressing your fist\palm against a wall at 4 different distances, as you tense and push with your entire body. The idea here is to strengthen your arm so that if you do have to punch from a very close range, your arm is already used to exerting a high level of force it this position. I know I may not be explaining or wording this well but maybe you can get the jist of it.

SevenStar - Sounds almost like a form of iron fist.

I'm not sure about this training technique, but I think that if your arm muscles are used to releasing all their energy at a very close range, they will lose their ability to attack with full energy at longer ranges.

Well, when you break it all down it is isometrics.

And it doesn't affect your long range punches because you train at all ranges, far, middle, close and very close.

That's good then. It means that I can still train with this method :D .
