Do you ever throw straight right to the body with your back erect?

Exactly. Not so much that he loses his balance but enough that he puts some body weight into the punch. Makes it that much more devastating.

So it's definitely not just Karate. Probably a safety variant that coaches don't want to see at pro level where power rules the day.

Sometimes speed will trump power.

It doesn't affect speed. But it is safer in that you don't lean over with the head.

I do have a slight forward lean. I'm just not bending my head.
