Advanced kinetic chain punching for MMA PART 3 DRILLS FOR PERFECTION

Advanced kinetic chain punching for MMA PART 3 DRILLS FOR PERFECTION

Now you know the strongest positions to throw a punch and the shockwaves it time to perfect them. on this 3rd DVD I explain how to refine and perfect the kinetic punch, train specific isometrics to reinforce the strength of your arms, so your punch feels more like a poke from an iron bar, using doorways and elastic bands, I also run through the positions to allow you to punch much closer and from a tight guard, then it’s time to break down the shockwaves even more and isolate some of the most important parts of the shockwave, starting with the light shockwave which is the core of your speed training, and the pullback, singly one of the most important parts to isolate and train, this along with the switch lifts all your striking across the board. Then a closer look at the deep snap an explosive power house 30% more power than the light snap, and how to develop a guard smashing shock with the sand bag, through to the Ripping shockwave 70% harder than the light shockwave, and 40% harder than the Deep shockwave, its designed purely for damage, I explain how it twists and rotates the head, and the best angle to drop in from, if your looking for a cut or the ultimate one shot KO.

Advanced-kinetic-chain-punching-for MMA PART 3

shockwaves in more detail

Shockwaves part two

There’s basically 3 ways to develop explosiveness in your punches, regardless of style, but it’s not just the impact, it’s the lack of energy used, speed and the precision that’s developed that can’t be underestimated

The important thing to remember about shockwaves can take time to develop it’s all about tendon strength and muscle memory, but 12 months down the line expect a significant difference in the energy you use to throw the punch and the effect you have when it lands.

The light shockwave

The light shockwave is all about speed, it’s the fastest way to punch, significantly improving your speed and the snap of impact, like a boxers snap, there’s also lots of reverse mechanics, picked up and improved, the better you can do this the faster and sharper you will punch, your bodyweight pops in and out, like all shockwaves there part of one movement. The punch doesn’t finish on the person it finishes back in your guard or in a kinetic position to throw another

Deep shockwave

The deep shockwave is the power version of the light, more bodyweight and a 30% step up in power compared to the light snap, perfect for those body punches drilling the strike right in, it’s also much more concussive, the snap is deeper staying on target a little longer than the light, transferring more power very explosive from the straight or cross, digs in really well, perfect this and its the ideal tool for smashing through anybody’s guard

Ripping shockwave

With the ripping shockwave as well as being the strongest, 40% harder than the deep snap and 70% harder than the light snap, its designed for the one shot KO, with strikes to the head there is several ways to get the knockout,

1 shakes the brain. If you cause enough concussion you will achieve a KO

2 rotate the head. if you cause the head to turn and rotate suddenly this will increase the concussion of the strike, twisting and rotating the head at  45% significantly increasing the chances of the KO

3 over extending the head or neck from the spine. When you over extending the head from the neck this alone can cause a KO, if the head snaps back hard enough, or is twisted round hard enough, this can cause an instant KO

4 Pain when the body feels a massive amount of pain it will shut down black out, this will also increase the chances of a KO

 The ripping shockwave is designed to achieve all this, and puts 70% more power on your punch than the standard boxing snap; it dramatically increases the chance of a stun or stoppage. With the development of the “Ripper” Came the name. I had to start wearing small gloves because on a lot of bags designed for gloves it would grab and rip my skin tearing my bare knuckles. That translates to the opposite happening when you hit flesh or have MMA gloves on giving more chance of a cut or Rip happening,

With the Ripper the ultimate is to achieve this with all punches for the maximum effect, the more familiar and natural they feel the more other angles and power levels become available to the fighter, I really can’t underestimate the value of the shockwaves, the shockwaves are the second part of the kinetic punch. They play the biggest part in your explosive punching

When we take a look at the jab, the ripping shockwave has 70% more power than the light snap on the end of a jab! over a 5 minute round with a light snap at say 10,000cu 20 jabs=200,000cu a round

With the ripping shockwave that’s 17000cu per punch 20 jabs=340000 a round

To the fighter that’s 41% more available power/damage per round in there jab than a standard boxing snap, over 3 rounds that 123% more available power using the ripping shockwave on the jab, instead of the standard boxing snap, more than double the power available in the standard jab over 3 rounds
MORE ON SHOCKWAVES

MMA rounds and the percentages power available in the kinetic punch compared to standarded

MMA rounds and the percentages the kinetic punch

Thanks to the strikemate measurements, if I look at the differences in standard punches compared to a kinetic punch, the kinetic punch has 30%-50% more power. If we take a 5min UFC round and the kinetic punch v boxing punches. looking at the available power/damage with each style, It’s far from being this simple but Breaking it down, if in one minute you land 5 punches that’s 25 punches per 5 min round .if we put the standard punches at 20,000cu x 25 that’s.

 500000cu in one round

The kinetic straight punch has measured 40% more power and the hook at 30% more power than standard. so for this I’ll put the kinetic punches at 35% more power and again 25 punches per 5 min 27,000cu x25 that’s.

675000cu in one round              

For the fighter than means 35% more available power/damage dished out per round, over 3 rounds that literally gives you 105% percent more available power, that’s more than double the available power you would get from 3 rounds using standard boxing for MMA. To match the available energy in the kinetic punch, you would need 4 rounds of standard punching. That fact cannot be ignored

Over A 5 round main event the kinetic punch gives you a 175% increase in available power compared to the standard mma punch.

strikemate a review

Strikemate a review

As a person with a passion for hand strikes really can’t begin to tell you the value of a constant measuring tool for striking, the idea of having something that is as good as a trainer at picking up the subtlety’s of a good punch, with me its sound and feel and I have spent good money on items that were supposed to measure your power the consistency was terrible, so when I heard about the strikemate I was interested but had heard it all before..

So I've tried it, and I have to tell you it’s Very very good, a Serious scientific bit of kit, to finally have a tool that can constantly measure the power strike is great, and when I look at some of the film when I’m striking it. I can see or hear the strike was less or more and the strikemate picked up on this, like Kevin  Franklin said, it’s at a detail above and beyond what any person could measure, the surface is very nice to hit, even bare knuckle. Though I've never been a fan of the foam used, in many ways I think it’s perfect the job though a little stiff, when you hold this sort of pad against you there’s very little direct energy lost and it transfers energy well, basically hurts more, when you hold it against your chest unlike a soft pad, because of the stiffness of the pad there’s energy fired back at you as well, it spits the hand of instantly which it should. So I’m saying it’s an ideal bit of kit for anybody who’s interested in striking for sports/martial arts and why every top gym in the country hasn’t got one is beyond me? Time to break the cycle of repetition with striking and get some science behind it, and the gyms who have across the world are already benefiting massively, so form an orderly line guys this really is a must tool, to test and perfect the power of your kicks and punches, if you think about it for solo training, it’s like having a coach 24/7 to tell straight away if an tweak here or there makes a difference in your power!

So while nothings perfect and I’m a fussy git, I want to talk about what the strikemate doesn’t measure and its limitations, but please don’t take this as a criticism, it’s  just that  power and impact are so complicated to understand,  never mind  measure. So to me there two parts of a strike, the power generation and then  the impact on the end. So I doesn’t measure initial or surface impact, I noticed when I tried a palm heel  hook a score of 12000 when the same core mechanics with  a hook punch was high 43000,now I know that the smaller area has more force but, with the open hand there is a massive amount of initial surface impact, this isn’t picked up on the strikemate, that in turn tells me that when the punch lands it’s not measuring that initial impact either and to me this is when it’s at its peak power, so to get a full reading you would have to measure the initial impact on the end of the strike x the power built, the strike mate is really spot on for the power measurement, and because of this, when I tried the different shockwaves at full power  it picked up on the differences in overall power, because the increased initial impact lifted the overall power, but if I tried the shockwaves lightly which would still hurt human, there was very little measurement. it’s great for kicks punches elbows sharp strikes, but its not good for the more concussive strikes like palm heels and hooks ,slaps or finger strikes

I would say don’t change anything about the strikemate it’s a great bit of kit, the power trainer which I initially compared to my water bag, is really very different as a standalone pad I think it’s just the job for power development but very similar to a hard heavy bag in many ways, but with the give not as hard on the arms or body, but once you add a measurement its a whole new level. And from what i can tell the power trainer is fully upgradeable. The water bag is all about learning the speed snap or impact in many ways completing the two parts of the striking puzzle.

I can’t help thinking Kevin how good the power trainer would be with an impactometer? Something that measures surface impact alone x that with the strikemate measurement job done......if only it was that easy..Something to think about?

Great work.

KINETIC PUNCHES MEASURED BY SCIENCE

 Im busy racking up the numbers and with solid science comes solid facts...Cant thank you enough Kevin Franklin and Jon Ryley

Looks like I had it pretty close myself 30 to 40% more power on the Kinetic punches

KINETIC PUNCHES MEASURED BY SCIENCE AND THE STRIKEMATE
25/10/2014 click on it for close up

These first three show the level of power increased comparing a standard MMA punch with a Kinetic MMA punch
Overhand Hook comparison
my standard overhand at 95kg is 30,000= 315cu per pound
my kinetic overhand punch at 95kg is 43000 = 453 cu per pound
That means the kinetic overhand hook is 30.55% harder than the standard overhand hook
Straight Punch comparison
My standard boxing straight punch was 14361 at 95 kilo that's 151cu
My straight kinetic punch highest was 23,800 at 95 kilo that's 250 cu
Meaning my kinetic straight punch is 40% harder than my standard straight punch
Ground and pound straight punch comparison
 Kneeling to ground Standard straight boxing punch 6385cu
Kneeling to ground kinetic straight punch 9816cu
that’s 35% harder than the standard  straight punch

Stood to ground standard straight boxing punch 9966cu
Stood to ground straight kinetic punch 21144cu
that’s 53% harder than the standard straight ground punch
Shockwaves comparison
Now were going to look at Shockwaves which are added to the end on the punch for added explosiveness/power. With the same kinetic cross punch with different shockwaves placed on the end of the strike

Light snapping shockwave =15991cu
Deep snapping shockwave=22506cu
 that means the Deep snap is 30% more explosive than the light snap
The Ripping shockwave, the most powerful=37524cu
 that's 40% more explosive than the deep shockwave

UFC fighter Uriah hall holds the hook record for the strikemate
At approx 90kg his hook is 86,000cu that’s around 955cu per kilo of bodyweight with a standard MMA punch and a deep snapping shockwave
Using the strikemate measurements with the kinetic hook and deep shockwave, Hypothetically  that's 30% more power that means Uriah could be hitting at a magical 111800cu
Now to make this more interesting instead of the Deep shockwave, if he was using the ripping shockwave that's 40% harder
That's  a Hypothetical  increase of 156520cu!!

http://powerpunchers.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/dvds-for-sale.html

Uriah hall Eddie hall and there record hook punches on the strike mate

Eddie hall is approx 170kg his hook is 57919cu. he’s hitting at approx 340cu per kilo
Uriah hall approx 90kg his hook is 86,000cu that’s around 955cu per kilo of bodyweight 
Lets play around with this to compare the efficiency of Eddie and Uriah’s kinetic chain if Eddie hall was half his weight 85kg half the score that’s 28959 at 5 kg less than Uriah and literally a 3rd of Uriah’s score
If Uriah was double his weight at 180kg double his score that’s 172,000 cu! Nearly triple Eddies score at only ten kilo more, this tells me that Uriah’s  punch is significant more efficient, Uriah’s known for his natural athleticism and it shines through in this clip

Uriah halls record hook punch

so far one of the best examples of a boxing hook I've seen so far on the strikemate. The elbow snaps up as he lands digging in the middle knuckle with the outside of his middle knuckle landing right on the cross in the middle the target. He also finishes the punch with an excellent deep snapping shockwave More on shockwaves here

strikemake, backhands and the efficiency of the kinetic chain part 1

Kinetic chain efficiency
Part one
I’ve been thinking about the strikemate and how we can get an overall measurement. Big people will always hit harder but not necessarily more efficiently. Women have less muscle than men there’s lots of differences. But The beauty of have a constant device like the strikemate is solid precise measurements. So by having a little play round with back hand strike measurements by dividing the cu measurement and weight of the person in kg we get a number of cu developed per kilo...roughly using two clips we have
Sharon is approx 55kg hitting at 18280 that around 332 cu per kilo
Mickey is approx 95kg hitting at 53909 that’s around 567 cu per kilo
Just for arguments sake, and to make things easier if we say Sharon is 50kg and Mickey is 100Kg that’s double the weight, so even though mikeys number is high,
If we double what Sharon was getting that’s 664 cu per kilo if she weighed 100kg
If we then half mikeys that’s 280 cu per kilo if he weighed 50Kg
Houston we have a problem women are more efficient! Now what that really comes down to is the efficiency of her kinetic chain, so if you’re looking to improve your back fist then id sugest its Sharon you should be watching and mimicking. This suggests that If Mickey matched the same technique Sharon was doing he would be hitting even harder.
Note Mickey has hit harder but I thought we would use what’s on film
Kevin Franklin back fist is hitting at 40,000k at 95kg which mean he getting around 421cu per kilo of body weight
Hooks
Eddie hall Britain’s strongest man weighs in at 27stone that’s 170kg his hook is 57919cu. he’s hitting at approx 340cu per kilo
Uriah hall recently hit over 86,000cu with a hook he’s a welterweight so let’s say he’s 200lb that’s about 90kilo which means he’s hitting at a sublime 955cu per kilo of bodyweight now.
It was a boxing punch so its unsupported.if he was using the kinetic punch there would be an instant step up in power, but for measurements well have to wait till the end of the month!

And for kicks! 
Febricio Werdum kicked 126,000cu with a switch kick weighing at 105kilo that kicking at 1200cu per kilo of body weight serious power let’s hope Cain Velasquez is ready for them! I recon it’s going to be his toughest test yet this is the guy that broke the unbreakable Fedor.

unsupported punching and the supported kinetic punch

Heres a very nice example of a boxing style MMA punch,you can see how the hes hitting with the outside part of the middle knuckle.this is an unsupported punch the forearm isnt directly behind it to drive it in,this brteaks the kinetic chain at the shoulder and forearm, losing a significant amout of power
patricky freire punch gif

you can see here in this pic of the gif were the point of the knuckle is landing on the outside three knuckles,this breaks the kinetic chain and is unsupported by the forearm,and what I would call an unsupported or clasic boxing punch.

for a supported or Kinetic punch,you have to use the inside of the middle knuckle,this part of the knuckle is unavailable in boxing gloves but is in MMA gloves,which means it cant be practiced in standard boxing gloves.but is a significant step up in power for MMA

power slapping DVD OUT NOW

Slap DVD rundown 

When I first started training for self defence my choice was the slap. I focused totally on the slap or "BEARPAW" as I called it, this DVD covers everything you need to practice and perfect your own slapping technique, going into detail of the most effective arm movements to practice for maximum power. When to tense and how to breath correctly. To the footwork for most power. Three different styles of slap using the same basic principles of the bearpaw to deliver some serious impact. With the diagonal ,vertical and horizontal slaps I also explain how the three different shockwaves can also be trained on the slap for much more of a concussive result. I explain the differences with the bitch slap and the full power slap, and the differences with the palm hook and palm heel compared to a slap. And the best way to throw close range slaps with footwork With examples showing some of my students training them and making the same mistakes we all make. with a drill at the end to help perfect your own slapping technique.

One inch punch party tricks

take alook at this clip
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=489590287810768
Now im not saying theres anything wrong its a good wack,while it is unsupported,using the outside of the knuckle

it does demonstrate some classic dos of a good party demonstration

1 get your student to stand in an up straighter more off balance position no stance(falls back further)
2 hit your student right down the centre line(falls back further)
3 hit your student in the solar plexus(reacts more,falls back further)
4 use a phone book(hurts alot more than a pad,knocks you back more)
5 use a student whos not used to it or never been hit(more dramatic)
6 camera angled so you cant see that the pull back is more than 1 inch Ill sugest maybe 5 or 6 inches
7 keep talking to the student and hit him when hes not expecting it(more dramatic)
8 tells him not to tense,doesnt tell him to breath right when receiving the punch(hurts much more,more dramatic)
the only thing missing was number 9 a chair behind with a broken leg so the fall is more dramatic

Palm hook DVD review

"What can I say about your Dvd? Very impressed. Yet another highly instructive Dvd in your ongoing series and a very important one for anyone studying the martial arts or self-defense. It literally covers everything that anyone could need from Novice to Advanced practitioner. Great detail has been provided in systematically teaching the correct structure of the palm hook for maximum power delivery and how to ensure that your striking structure is correct so that the wrist is protected and injuries avoided.  Nothing worse than striking an attacker and it ends up hurting you more than it hurts him! LOL.

There were certain parts of your DVD that really caught my attention like the Den Dan Daiko, this drill in itself, in my opinion was worth the price of your DVD. It teaches so much, from the ability to strike within a closed quarter environment, how to transfer/shift bodyweight correctly, continuous striking, how to relax the body for the most impact and more. There are keys within this drill that would help anyone that trains to increase the power of their strikes and improve the flow/speed of their movements. I literally can’t emphasize enough how important I believe this drill to be and you have broken it down in your usual clear, concise way that leaves no ambiguity or unanswered questions.

It’s a great learning experience to first watch you demonstrate a strike and how it should be done and then taking complete beginner and watching them learn, improve, and point out what mistakes they are making (we could be making) so that they are doing it correctly. The mistakes made by the beginners are the mistakes we probably would all make while training so to watch these corrections and how to fix mistakes that are being made are of great benefit to anyone training on their own.

There’s such a wealth of information on your Dvd from the different striking energies to the practice drills, body structure, intention training etc. that it’s hard to list everything for praise. I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone that’s interested in improving their striking skills to purchase your Dvd and can only say it will be a purchase they will never regret. Anyone purchasing your Dvd will not only gain the skills on the Dvd, they will learn keys to help them understand and improve whatever system they might currently be training in.

Am really looking forward to the next in your series.

 PALM HOOK DVD

The one inch punch or the one inch push

Here is an example of a Jeet kune do one inch punch its unsupported and breaking the kinetic chain in several places,this reduces the concussiveness of the strike and is often portrayed as little more than a push,its also completely different to the style you see Bruce Lee using in his clips

when you land a close range punch the the kinetic postion its much more concussive with more drive to knock you off balance with the impact rahtar than pushing you after the fact as well as hurting much more.As you can see in this clip here

Wow Bruce Lee WAS using a Kinetic punch!

Bruce lee and the kinetic punch 


Since I started punching I been studying and loved Bruce lee,who hasn't,and this is the way I've always seen him,gifted with speed but trained like no other for technique,obsessive training will bring another level. but nobodies super human and if there hitting harder than anyone else then threes a reason. Their doing something slightly different bio mechanically,this brings me to the first clip of Bruce on the heavy bag this clip that confirmed my thoughts, it shows students (Ted Wong training on the bag) Ted is using an unsupported classic boxing punch like swinging a hammer.but Bruce is using a kinetic punch driving in like a jack hammer,you can see how the drive/bend into the bag is deeper when Bruce hits,this sort of drive you only get with a kinetic punch hes also using a deep snapping shockwave on the end, Bruces punch is a sort of mix of western boxing and karate.

now particularly this clip here and the 6inch punch,you simply cant get that much drive or chest compression with a standard boxing punch.swinging in like a hammer.Bruce is driving in like a jack hammer,completing the full kinetic chain.The punch hes demonstrating here cannot be thrown in modern boxing gloves because of the thumb position.So boxing gloves teach you a different punch than the one demonstrated by Bruce here.Again a perfect version of a deep snapping shockwave on the end of the punch to complete it

This brings me to my clip here explaining the difference in a supported kinetic punch and an unsupported (boxing style) punch. The kinetic punch is a significant step up in power.

this clip shows you how to test your style to see what type of punch you throw.Do you hit like a hammer or Jack hammer,by the way its impossible to hit like a jackhammer in modern boxing gloves

Supported kineitc punch

Shockwaves and Thai kicking

heres a few different shockwaves on the end of kicks

First the light snapping shockwave,Because the post will not give it forces him to snap straight back.

Now the deep snapping shockwave,and again the same principles as the punching but this time this tree has a bit of give and is possible to sink deeper into the target and more body weight,notice how he adds the step for more power

this is done by either stepping in rotating the front foot or jumping into position with one movement like Bukaw

The Palm Hook DVD is available now!

The second dvd in the open hand striking series The Palm Hook is out now

 The dvd starts off similar to the palm heel DVD explaining about the stronger positions and how to avoid pain,
I then go into detail Explaining what the drum technique from karate kid 2 represent in body mechancs and the kinetic chain,this is all I could find on the drum but it gives you the idea

and how you can use the same principles to build power and torque in your hooks and how the dropping and lifting of your heels can increase close range power as well,I then go through some tips for close up striking and extreme close range hands on target hooks.following that is all about the breath and  intent how to use them both hand in hand to significanlty increase your explosive power.

A little footwork next, how to get all of your bodyweight into the strike,by steping through with the hook.Then onto Shockwaves and the best suited for different angles to significantly improve the explosiveness of your hooks.a short talk about positons and training pad on the hand and I finish of explain the the two strongest figure of eight loops to throw repeated strikes.heres a clip of some of out training and testing of our palm hooks and palm heels using all the principles from the DVD

This clip shows how most fighters punch with the outside of the knuckle and also finish the strike with their tricep,the closest ive seen to a kinetic punch in the ufc is John Jones uppercut at the end,notice how much more it knocks the head back than the other punches in the clip,this is because the part of the knuckle he hit with is directly in line with the forearm and delivers at least 40% more power

Short Review of my Kinetic punching DVD by UFC fighter Bradley Scott

While UFC Fighter Bradley Scott is over in the country I sent him a copy of my kinetic punching DVD,Here's what he said!

"I 100% agree with your punching power my boxing coach (mark Kent) teaches identical to you!! It's nice to see someone who actually knows what there on about instead of some if the utter shit I get sent!  My boxing coach shows me another punch where as you throw (straight right) turn knuckles down at a very slight angle and use the gravity. It's now my favourite punch it does horrific damage. Where are you based?"

it really means so much  from someone of that calibre!

Basic kinetic chain for power punching DVD out now

Basic kinetic chain for power punching DVD out now

For Boxing MMA or any Martial Arts, the basic kinetic chain used are the same. In this DVD I break down the core basics of building a strong powerful punch, and the parts of the body you use for developing power. The head, the hips, the arms the step and your breath. These are the key generators of power for all your strikes. I go into detail, how to isolate the parts of the body that build power and torque, and how to train these to fully understanding them, there’s also a look at the basic footwork for power, the step . While these are perfect for the beginner, they also provide any experienced strikers with some drills, which will always help to lift a little power here and there, because you’re drilling the keys to maximum power striking, helping you push the boundaries of your own punching power to another level           run time approx 60 mins

Do you fight like you train? or train like you expect to fight

You fight like you train so why not train like you want to fight?

Whenever your teaching anybody to punch harder it’s got to be available under pressure for you to use it, and has to be trained to the point that it’s the most familiar thing to you almost a natural reaction, you fight like you train but are you training for the fight or result you want?

You can’t train one way and then expect to fight in a different manner, I have full control over this when I’m teaching privates for self defence, you have to its goal orientated, and this is no different to fighting in the cage. It’s one thing learning something new in minutes, but it’s another thing totally using it in a fight. I see this sort of mentality a lot in traditional martial arts were people are always looking for that new move or Holy Grail rather than focusing on the basics that at the end of the day will get them safely through a fight. You see a significant drop in this mentality when people actually spar properly, like up at the hustle gym. When you do hard sparing you realise that its hard enough just to land one flush punch, let alone the huge list of fancy techniques you can collect when training a more traditional art. In fact lots of traditional arts have changed significantly because their techniques simply didn’t work in the cage! Hard sparing lets you know what you’re capable of in a situation and how you will fight.

This brings me to some observations of two types of fighters, now everybody I've taught the kinetic punch to has seen a significant improvement up to 50% with some in the first lesson. And it’s usually the more experienced that gets it more and realises the possible potential. Like the Edwards brothers, Mac and Nathan. When i first walked in to the gym i noticed Mac practising a boxing hook over and over again, in between teaching others, that’s the mentality you want training all the time, because there’s always someone you’ll face who trains harder. Now with Mac, from the moment I taught him the kinetic hook, every single time after that when he was practising hooks it was a kinetic hook same with his cross, once he realised the power level and it was taken on board instantly! And still out of all the guys I've taught then I’d say Mac and Nathan have the most chance of using it in the cage. It may seem obvious that you would start training a much more effective strike straight away, it is to me, but this is where you get two different types of fighters

The other type can have just as much of an increase in speed and power from their lessons ,but every time i see them throw a punch after that its same old version, perhaps it just comes down to each individual person’s ability to learn?or just each persons level but I've not had this problem teaching self defence when testing in the suit. I think this comes down to still training old styles as well, and not altering your sparing gloves so you can train the kinetic punch in fight or on the bag and get an understanding of the full effectiveness of this type of striking. the effect the kinetic punch on the human compared to a normal punch thrown in ordinary boxing glove has to be practiced in fight/sparring ingrained to make yourself fully aware of the real differences and the advantages, one guy who had been sparring with Nathan Edwards mentioned how he was hitting harder than the other person he was sparring with who was twice the size, this is what happens when you refine your punch with kinetics.

 So while Boxing and Muay Thai are at the core of mma training, If you’re not using the kinetic punch on the end then you’re not throwing the strongest punch in training  it’s like drawing with a blunt pencil, Rather than a sharp one.you can draw with a blunt pencil but all you will make is impressions,with a sharp pencil each line is clean,precise and leaves a much more permanent mark.You can’t expect it to come out all of a sudden when you’re in the cage and you wish you had more power in your hands. If you’re training for a knockout finish and that’s your game plan you have to train the strongest punches all of the time, every punch counts to add up to hurt someone and in the ring, punches are the single most often thrown strikes. One punch knockout power is available in mma but you have to train for it. If someone shows you how to punch significantly harder you take that on board, train out the bad habits and take on the new. Learn from your mistakes. Don’t keep hold of them just because it tradition or there your favourite .if your shown something much more effective, then you should immediately start to use it and train it in every way, because if you’re not, your opponent probably is.

ADVANCED KINETIC CHAIN OPEN HAND STRIKING part 1

THE PALM HEEL

The palm heel has many names and it’s a very versatile strike, and there's no point on the head or body the relaxed open hand doesn't fit, it also reduces the risk of damaging or breaking your hands, like a boxers fracture if you’re punching. I show you how to deliver a very significant open handed strike. Teaching you the strongest positions, to deliver the most power with the palm heel. Along with the benefits of close range open hand strikes. I also run you through the three types of “shockwave” the light snap, deep snap and the most powerful ripping shockwave you can train on the end of the palm heel, each one is a step up in power from the next, add the “kinetic chop” and you've got an extremely powerful and concussive palm heel. If you’re a beginner then expect a significant increase in power, for the seasoned open hander this will also provide years of training to help sharpen your already honed skills, it’s a must have for anybody serious about the open handed strikes and the martial arts or for self defence and even mma.

First review short but sweet

PN "Your Dvd on the open palm and ripping energy has answered a few questions for me regarding a system I trained with a few years ago.

Had a bit of a "cagey" instructor and some of the info was withheld for all of his students but thanks to your good self have been able to fill in some of the blanks.

You are a great instructor and look forward to hopefully meeting up with you and training with you one day soon."

Lockdown 5

3 SHOCKWAVES AND THE PALM HEEL

Heres a look at keith training the three shockwaves on the end of the basic palm heel strike,each one is a step up in power,from the last and the RIPPER which is the strongest shockwave takes less energy to throw than the light snap.But the more you refine each shockwave,the bigger the step up,when you throw a stronger one,these can be added to the end of any open hand strike,refining power and building explosivness to the next level

PART 1 OF THE OPEN HAND DVD SERIES THE PALM HEELWILL BE OUT SHORTLY
part 2 and 3 are going to be on the palm hook and the slap or BEARPAW as it was once known

BASIC RULES OF POWER KICKING PART 2 THE HIPS

           BASIC RULES FOR POWER KICKING FOR MMA PART 2
                                                            THE HIPS

The hips make a huge difference in the power you generate with a kick.as you step in (rule one) you should be cocking the hips in the opposite direction of your kick,the more supple the hips, the further back you can cock them,but also the further you can drive the hips over to send the kick in as you land this makes a significant difference in the weight and power of your kick.the harder the kicker the more supple the hips and they can really fold it over and drive the leg bone into the opponent at ninty degrees,the more you turn it over as you land the more you will get a ripping shockwave on the kick.its no different kicking high or low this is a very good evercise for loosening the hips

bukaw hips fold over at least 4 to 6 inches more than most mma fighters giving extra weight and power in his kicks,driving the hips in first then letting the leg go at the last minute
