Basics: Punches
|
|
Basic twist punch is executed using the front stance with a
middle guard. The power in this punch comes from twisting the torso
while pulling back the opposite hand. Further, stability in this punch
comes from having the back foot firmly planted with the heel of that
foot on the ground. This will be contrasted Hineri Zuki #2
(Advanced-Submarine) where the heel of the back foot remains raised off
the ground.
This punching form can be executed from a static front stance or the
student may execute the punch while stepping into the front stance in a
dynamic fashion. Things to remember are: use a strong front stance with
70% to 80% of the weight on the front leg. Look your opponent in the
eye. Fully extend your striking arm keeping it horizontal until you
reach 3/4 extension then rotate your hand into the desired fist form.
Twist and rotate the trunk pulling the opposite arm back to assist in
the power generation.
