The whole thing with expelling air when you throw a shot is to keep from running out of breathe.
When people fight they tend to hold their breathes when throwing down. Thus they begin to run out of breathe from holding it in trying to knock the other guy out.
A trained fighter is no different at the beginning. They also held their breathes while slugging it out. Thus the trainer tells the fighter to exhale a breath whenever he throws. If you blow out a lung of air your body will automatically breathe it back in, therefore you are breathing and redosing your body with oxygen out of trained habit.
forcing air out as the punch connects helps prevent you getting the wind knocked out of you by a counter punch, stops you from doing the natural thing which is to hold your breath and allows you to focus
i force air out as a punch connects and at the same time tense up and snap a punch into the bag i get loads of power doing it this way
i try to expell gas from my ******* when i work the heavy bag. its a dangerous technique though, one must always make sure they drop of the kids before working out.
Grunting... yeah, you could add Glen Johnson and Joe Frazier to the list. Though Johnson only seems to do it when he gets tired, which is a bit of a giveaway to his opponents.
Jones Jr.: "Tssssssssss... tssssssssssssss..." (makes the sound of mach one punches)
this proves few people know much about boxing around here ...
you breath when you punch so you dont lose your air..true
but a good point of it is that your muscles when they dont recive air they get tired because your body needs air to work right...hence you got fat asses that cant breath really good they throw 2 or 3 punches and there tired....they're still breathing but there tired ...why? because not enough air is getting into there muscles and there system so it can function properly ...its exactly why if you get up too fast sometimes you'll get dizzy ...the air cuts off then comes back on forceing you to have a head rush ...
as for the hiya in karate ...lmao thats got nothing to do with air people go "hi ya " in karate as an intimidation thing ...or else you'd have boxers going "hiya" when ever they threw a punch
