snapping punches

[Dan23]

i've been boxing for about a month now and so far i've been told to snap all my punches, whether they're a jab or a straight or a hook. what's the purpose of snapping your punches? I assume it's for quickness but doesn't it take away the power? also when i first started i went all out on the punching bag until i was told you're supposed to hit it so that it barely moves, what's the point of this too? i'm not challenging any of this as i'm sure my trainer knows what he's talkin about as he used ot be a pro, i just wanna know why i'm doing what im doing.

thanks

yeah my trainer told me to do the same, to snap my punches and to barely make the bag move
now, to me my punches are quicker, more crisp, and my endurance is higher then it was when i would just throw my arm into my punches

If you snap punches there will be nore damage since the fist will cover the area of damage for less time, thus more punch and less push.

Snapping your punches gives both power and speed.

When you have the same amount of power as me, you cant help but move the bag.

Maybe speedbag, in your case.

ive never heard of snapping out hooks. how is this possible? snapping to me if for fast fighters/boxers. with me if i just snapped i wouldnt get the power punch power off of it.

speaking of that. i hate when ppl on here say im moving the bag just cause its moving alot. its like im not physically able to have some power and cause they cant do it

Hitting a speed bag is harder than you think.

Ps, I meant heavy bag for your note. Reading comprehension: 0.

I always snap my jab, probably should be snapping my straight right more.

Does the speed bag really benefit you?
