aznkarateboi Posted May 29, 2003 Posted May 29, 2003 OH MY GOD i did punching exercises with just 5 lb. weights for a few weeks and my punching is SO MUCH FASTER its like a blur.. i seriously recommend this exercise
A_mind_like_water Posted May 29, 2003 Posted May 29, 2003 we're they wrist weights? cos i know this guy, a friend of mine called Piccolo who wears a big weighted cape thing when he trains Danuall san- "Up you'res OLD man, wax your own DAM cars, im goin out ta get LAID" -Scott https://www.worldkarate.net
Synaesthesia Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 I love that 5lb exercise. Not only does it provide real gains in speed of punches (and the equally important withdrawl to guard), it provides the fun illusion of feather-like hands after your exercise.
aznkarateboi Posted May 30, 2003 Author Posted May 30, 2003 yea, after punching with weights and you punch without weights... man.... it feels so cool how much faster it is
Tamojin Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 Thanks guys - great tip!!! Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless--like water.
Treebranch Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 Just a thought on punching speed. If you can practice punching without an antic before you punch, your opponent won't see it coming. So basically if your in a boxing position throw the punches from there without retracting first. Subtly drop you weight with the punch to add power from the hips. Try it, it works great.

TheHitman585 Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 I Don't Know About You Guys But If You Want A Good Punch The Isshinryu Style Is The Best. A Good Isshinryu Punch Can Be Thrown Up To 5 Times Before 1 Regular Corkscrew Punch. This Is How I Punch 1st Degree BB Isshinryu1st Degree BB Tae Kwan Do
Treebranch Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 TheHitman585 I read some descriptions of the punch you are referring to online. Can you explain it in your words. From what I gathered it seems to be very similar to some of the Togakure Ryu punches we use, which come out of nowhere. They don't cork screw and they are thrown in unison with the entire body. Do you guys use the word Kamae in your dojo? Thanks "It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.""Lock em out or Knock em out"
Tibby Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 I'm guessing TheHitman585 is referring to striking with a punuching motion in a hammer fist fashion, that is a punch with the fist thumb on the top, and the pink nearer to the floor.
