But_Why Posted August 17, 2003 Author Share Posted August 17, 2003 Thanks all for your responses Sauzin: you seem to have what i was meaning correct. (Thats if i'm reading it right ) Sasori_Te: I believe you are right in what you have said, as when i was practising my punches, i'd not think about my hips and concentrate on everything else one at a time (building up till i thought i had everything) and by about halfway through, i found that my hip was flicking (albeit it may not have been a strong flick, it was a flick none the less).

Goju1 Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Sometimes it just takes years of reps and you'll feel it. Thats how it was for me - I always noticed the higher ranks looked different when they punched, and then one day it just clicked for me. You drive the arm motion via the hip rotation, much like a baseball pitcher powers his throw from his legs. This probably doesn't help much, just keep practicing!

Sasori_Te Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 That's how it was for me. One day I was just doing it. After I noticed I was doing it was when I started analyzing it. Those reps aren't for nothing. A block is a strike is a lock is a throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
