Ι was taught that same downward punch movement by a Savate teacher. He implemented a similar downward motion in low kicks as well and boy did they feel heavy!

you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !

That’s the difference between outside vs inside fight technique. Inside is high pressure using torque and leverage to over power. Outside is setting up from distance to create an opening.

Clear and concise. Legend.

The problem is we seem to be taught to aim for that snap type timing punch on the bag nowadays, rather than punching through the bag. I like the dual idea of moving your head out of line to get the punch positioning right, but which also helps to get your head out of the way for the counter.

You're not just moving your head offline, you're also taking a bigger step forward when you move your head offline.

Perfectly stated and accurate, your experience and truth is appreciated and spot on. Thank you.

Love these videos you do, talking sense unlike a lot of the crap I see online! How you're demonstrating with a downward trajectory I've seen numerous bangers using this method... Thomas hearns, Gerald mcclellan, Anuwat kaewsamrit. Keep these coming.

I've heard this all my life. Spot on, Coach!

It’s an overhand right, bring your feet with you, off to the side with your head first. Stick it behind the jab, just touch it out there and follow with the overhand right. Of course it’s all just talk until the adrenaline arrives.

Some very good points there

Great Instruction- I always watched Tyson close the gap and come in low and he did that exact move ducking the head and bringing that right hook above his head at the off angle. Powerful stuff, took it to the heavy bag and works great. Thanks Russell

Very interesting, thank you. Could you please discuss follow up strikes after that style punch,?

Good stuff again mate , that shot at the end was perfected by Gerald McClellan , head to one side shortens the distance and the chop down good night Vienna.

Thank you very much! Very good!

Well said. I discovered this on my own a few years back while practicing boxing on my B.O.B.

great lesson as alway

GREAT VIDEO

Thanks Russell

Thank you.

Great to see i was doing something right. My father taught me that the punch starts at your foot. I've always instinctively dropped my head left and low when going for a fight ender punch like this. Step into it. Getting a bit old for all that now but really enjoyed your vid, Subbed 👍

Excellent video Russell.

Thanks for this great advice, but simple advice, I'm going to review my training.thanks again.

Great points here that even Leo Fong missed in his old Knockout Punching book!

Very good instructions,,,,thanks for Ur years of knowledge....

I subbed and liked! Good lesson

Informative. Thanks Captain

Thanks, Russell! JD (Michigan)

What should be added here is punching downward could expose you to counter like check left hooks. so once u alive to that risk then you can avoid it

great instructions! can i add the cherry on top? Imagine your favorite pitcher or quarterback. They take a confident step forward and smoothly release the ball, creating a beautiful arc with their arm. It's not just about the throw; it's about the mechanics that come together in that moment. As you practice, remember to be gentle with your hands. They’re small and delicate, so it’s important to avoid putting too much pressure on them, as overuse can lead to injuries. Before diving into any heavy training, I always recommend my friends to shadow box the motion. It helps refine your technique without overwhelming your body! so break it down to imagery & visualization emphasis on technique practice self care and awareness take your time and work gradually to stronger and stronger throws

excactly! good video instruction...

I boxed are used to spare Prince Charles Williams. Of course I don’t have the experiences you. But your spot on.

Hi Russel! Excellent presentation! I was wondering if you could help teach the style of how a rare group of fighters use this style of whipping punches. It's kind of hard to explain. But I have observed a small number of boxers who never punch the traditional way. Instead, they use their bodies to whip their punches in a totally unpredictable but very powerful way. And they are totally relaxed and smooth while they are doing it. Their punches come from every direction and angle regardless if they are balanced or not. I cannot fathom for the life of me on how they do it.

Hip rotation before punch key to big power

I like to use a Palm strike or and elbow Strike. 💥

What about if you are a shorter person vs a larger person. It might give you a good gut punch, but a "knock-out"?

Good stuff..downward trajection works better because energy always tends to move downwards

Howdy! I subscribed and liked the video--but, I've learned that by stepping into my opponent as I land my vertical fist (no gloves or padding) I can launch all of my nearly 200 lbs of weight, concentrating it in my two knuckles (index and middle finger knuckles), and have broken people's cheek bones, broken their front teeth and sometimes ribs. These are usually one or two punch fights--not sporting events competing for points, but just trying to stay alive.

Snap back. I've never known anyone to swipe down after the punch. It comes straight back to defend and always punch through the target. Going down leaves us open to attack.

I am curious, are you not looking at the target at the tail end of this punch? Or is it that your face is turned a bit away but you are maintaining visual focus on the target?

I was taught to punch down in muay thai is that correct?

I wonder if the fact i used a makiwara for a long time and used to punch through it makes a diff . I also used a back fist strike to side of head a lot as well .But back fist can be dangerous if you end up striking the side of the temple.

🎉

👍🏼

Hey Russell, you are 100% correct, brother! This is coming from a 30+ year karate practitioner. 1 "like" and 1 "sub" from me!

The Suzy Q.

This is exactly how Mike Tyson used to throw his rear right. Jab followed with rear hand whilst moving his head off line to the left and stepping in. Watch how he broke Andrew Golota’s cheek bone. Also how dropped Fran’s Botha. Both much bigger men than him.

Right, and where is the opponent’s head at that moment? Or you are kicking a child?

I knocked myself out !

Sort of like an ice pick going in and chipping away down?

No doubt you are worth the $10,000, but living in Cambodia couldn't you make this number more accessible? You could buy A lot of stuff in Cambodia With $5000; then I would be sure to take the 90 minute flight. Probably so would many others who otherwise wouldn't😀

Nobody's chin is that low is it mate

Not sure about this. Good video anyway. But by making it less straight and whipping it you’re just slapping harder. By keeping it as straight, but adjusting your target for a deeper impact, then you’re actually breaking the opponent Ask me how I know.

Actually , it's the inertia than knocks a person out not the acceleration

You speak a good game but youre too slow to be effective.

Nice.
