Striking and power development workshop We began by punching from static with no legs or hips to show how week Then main points on cross 1) Slightly longer stance 2) Heel WELL off the floor - exact opposite to Iai. But don't pirhouette. Facing foot turned in slightly, hips facing square. 3) Keep hands up by face and elbows IN. Chicken wings elbows are a problem 4) Pulling left hand right back as you punch and slightly lean in gives you much more reach When i relaxed and focussed on the punches, much better results Weight shifting Slightly shift weight back on right foot before propelling forward. We did this is in exagerrated way but dont over exagerrate Hooks 1) Keep hands higher and parallel to floor Uppercut Drop weight down, then corkscrew up again, keeping elbows and hands in close ELBOWS IN RELAX HEEL UP WEIGHT SHIFT FORWARD OR CORKCREW UP pull right back with left hand (which is by face) to really get hip twist
