on this video I want to give you four tips to instantly be able to punch
harder with either hand tip number three is by far the most important so keep
watching for that one my name is Tony Jeffries Olympic bronze medalist seven
times national champion European champion former undefeated professional
welcome to my youtube channel these four simple but very effective tips is going
to help you punch harder no matter what level you're at whether you're brand new
to boxing or you're a veteran professional fighter these will give you
something to think about when you're training on a heavy bag on the mid-work
or in sparring and I guarantee you after watching this
video and trying these three things your punching power will increase tip number
one is turn your hips and transfer your weight if you throw in the straight
punch straight across you want to transfer the weight from here from the
center to your front foot when you do that you're getting your full weight
behind the punch I'll see it often where people will not turn the hips then the
hips are still that's not getting power into the punch but with the cross you
transferring the weight of your front foot with the hook you transferring it
to the back foot it'll look like this that's the cross if you watch my feet
watch my weight watch my hips transfer in the width the front foot so if I
threw the punch of the Cross and I held it out there now I've got like 60% the
width on me front foot and 40% on the back foot now with the hook like I said
I'm transferring the weight this is going to be from the front foot to the back
foot look like this and again if I threw that and I held it that's the finished
position they are the width on the back foot this is really getting the body
weight behind the punch tip number two is relax steer relax I see it all the
time especially the big strong guys they'll come it'll be 30 seconds they'll
be exhausted got to steer relaxed if you relaxing you're gonna get more speed get
more speed to get more power when you relax and you relax your full body
apart from your fists and with your fists this is another question again
people will think that you've got to keep your fists
relax just until your about impact then do a tight fist and punch and a lot of
coaches see that I disagree with that the reason being is if I threw a punch
with a relaxed fist let's see his head moved into it I'm going to hurt my hand
so you want to be here relaxed tight fist and punch relaxed in
your hands here tight fist and punch so I'm relaxing my hands I'm like to me
shoulder and relaxing me full body here relax relax
tight fist punch relax yeah exhaling with every single punch so tip number
three one of the best ways to instantly get maximum power behind your punch is
get your body weight behind it now I'm not talking about like I did with the
tip one was transferring the weight this time I'm talking about stepping into the
punch if you step into the punch as you throw it you're getting the force of
this step into the power it'll look like this and as well I can do it with a hook
by stepping with the hook I'm not only getting this transferred weight into it
I'm actually getting the force of the movement into it as well so it'll look
like this and you can hear and you can see there that I'm getting tons of power
into the punch and tip number four is fully extend your straight punches I'll
see it often where people pull the straight punches it might be a job over
here or across and over here with the bent arm now if you think if you're
standing in front of me and I've through that cross I've got the bent arm like
that you could probably push that bend the sin because it's not very strong of
the job like this you can push this it's not very strong but if you stand in
front of me now when you push that good look trying to bend that you'll not be
able to because this is solid seeing with a job
this is solid really really strong now if you think of you're trying to snap a
pencil if you bend the pencil in half think it's not very easy but if you try
and push the pencil from end to end just your pencil impossible a snap right
see him with the arm this is weak this is strong so fully extend on them
straight punches like this truth now right there with the four tips
turning your hips relaxing getting your body weight behind the punch fully
extending on the straight punches then there are four tips that I guarantee you
