Where Punch Power Comes From?

[jpunieves]

this is a physics question

arm length, timing of body twist, effective area behind gloves, angle of impact, distance between legs, weight of fighter, speed of muscle to contract/retract/extend etc...

so who do you think has these factors in their perfect combination?

Saw a video of the science behind it. In the video they compare the force of other martial arts punches and a boxer's punch. The power comes from the thighs and hip section and then the transfer of weight as far as I know

Different fighters draw power from different sources. I know guys who hit hard because of speed, technique, strength, strong legs, broad backs, height, it depends

[SN!PER]

You should use the whole body effectively. But the leg muscles are the largest in the body, so obviously you want to transfer as much energy from the legs and hips as possible when throwing a punch. Bruce Lee's one inch punch is a good example, his arm barely moves, but you can see his leg movement just before the impact.
