how to chamber punches w/o showing ur doing so

[zalexia]

we're instructed to get full force by ur punches by making sure ur shoulder blades are pretty much touching, hips turned to the side, punch in the chamber flick at the end when it impacts so it has optimal force.

now its great and powerful if u can set up but if u are actually fighting u will show your opponent and he will counter it or she..

Not to mention the chances of setting up properly in a real fighting situation slim to none so whats the best way to practice that cause he has us practice both aspects but i have not gotten that hidden speed down yet.

There is the belief that practicing striking from a basic pull back position (many inches away), creates the mechanisms that make an effective strike from an inch away.

That is what we are taught in our TKD class. However, it does take time to develop it this way.

But, its not the only way, either. Boxers do a good job of developing this power in a different manner.

With that said, concentrate on your hip movement in your punching practice. Over time, you will see that you can get that hip motion involved without as much telegraph, or chambering that punch all the way back to the ribs. Its just technique that takes some time to develop.
