Do you think by standing closer to the heavy can help u delvelope this type of punch?

I like to get damn close and throw the classic 1-2-3. I try to make them as snappy as i can at this range.

Is this a good idea? To me it seems logical but i want other oppinions.

Any other drills i can do for these short, powerful punches?

AS always thanks for the replies.

ATTN: NazFan, what do u think bro? :cool:

It's a double-edged sword. The closer you are to the opponent, the easier to hit.

technically i think it depends. if youre a long-armed guy with power at the end of your punches, i wouldnt bother trying to develop short-range power.

but i cant think of any way to develop that kind of power other than working on throwing your punches at a closer distance. work on making sure you can throw technically well-done punches from a short distance. what youre doing now seems like a good plan.

I've tried staying as close as I can to the bag but with my height and arms my trainer would shoot me if I ever tried to fight like that.

To build up on the short punches though I'll throw them in sets doing one punch at a time.

My arms arent too long, and i want to get comfortable on the inside.
I want to try to increase strong, sharp, straight punches.

Its hard to tell ur arm length, but i would say my arms are shorter for my height

If u want power when standing close u just need to use more twisting in the mid section and use ya feet more by turning them as well.

People dont obsess over Tyson. Tyson was born with amazing physiological makeup that allowed him to fight that way. Watch Roberto Duran, his style isn't as taxing on stamina and is just as effective if not more.

i think pivoting your feet and using your hips is the key to short range power. because thats the only way i generate good power up close with a lanky build
