An interesting find...

[Exige Jr]

Well, why do you need a scientific reason to snap your punches then?

I don't need a reason I just found it interesting.

Now I know why snapping your punches is important. The fact remains that I did snap my punches beforehand, as this is the technique I was taught, but I never really knew why other than "that is the way you are supposed to do it".

Yeah, but why do you need science to prove that?

I dont need anything.

Its the fact that I was curious and upon finding this I found it interesting to know. "Damage is inversely proportional to the duration of impact" - this is what I learned. This is what i'm interested by.

No more, no less.

I really don't see how it can be so hard to understand that knowing the reasons WHY something works, is an advantage? Come on guys, knowledge is king!

I know one on the body that is legal to hit in boxing that does a lot of damage. It has even been mentioned on this site before, and no its not the chin or anywhere on the head.

Yep thats the one... right under the gut. It looks a little low when you throw it but it does damage.

The solarplexus is good also but hard to hit, and easy to defend...
