What is the difference between your punch, and the punch of somebody like Mas Oyama, who could kill a bull? If you dissected his body you wouldn't find any significant differences between his fists and yours. So what did he have that you don't have.
What he had, aside from a humungous helping of belief in himself, was the correct data on how to make a punch. That he had the data was obvious, for he couldn't kill a bull without this data. Here is the data that he had to have.
One must learn how to draw an energetical connection to planet earth. This involves letting/making the energy go through the legs and into the ground. This is actually easily done if you practice your forms while relaxing and breathing to the tan tien and letting the energy sink downwards.
Second, when you punch you must punch in conjunction with a leg push. Your entire body weight must be induced to go into the action of punching. You have your body weight times the velocity created by your leg push on one hand, and maybe twenty pounds of arm times velocity on the other hand.
Third, hip alignment is crucial People quite frequently turn their hips so that they actually break the line of energy through the body. To test this factor, simply have somebody push on your punch and turn your hips back and forth you find the best and most efficient line of energy between fist and ground.
Fourth, One must keep the shoulders from raising up. If you raise the shoulders the energy goes up and out of the shoulder, and not through the body and into the ground. Again, have somebody push on your extended fist and lower and raise the shoulder and examine how the energy flows.
Fifth, you must snap the arm in an instant and focus energy in the fist, and keep the shoulder low and turn the hips, and push with the legs and ground, all at the same time. This is called Coordinated Body Motion--CBM.
Do all this and you know that you're ready. You're ready to go over the fence and wave your backside at that 500 pound hamburger named Beelzebub. Don't worry, I'll film the whole thing from the top of this shack over here.
