I find that the more weight I throw into the direction of
the punch (not forward) the more effective the punch is, even to the point of
leaving the floor slightly to commit total bodyweight. That doesn’t mean I’m any more off balance
than when I’m walking really, as long as I stick to the same basic rules of
balance I use when I walk, with your head moving from one foot to the other. when I’m walking I’m throwing myself slightly off
balance, by leaning slightly forward using my head, that controls that balance faster than any
other part of my body, and that’s in direct relation with my feet, so if I was
walking forward, and my head was leaning past my feet when I was stopped
quickly, would be the one thing determining factor as to whether I was off
balance or fell over .So this would be no different to throwing and missing a punch,
if I throw my head out to far I over commit and this would put my head to far past
the foot I was using to balance that punch and put me off balance or even cause
me to fall over from excessive torque
if you threw a punch putting all your weight onto your front
foot, the best way to get total power in the next strike is to throw your head
back over the rear foot that would mean sitting back so it can go both ways.
after looking at that top ten list in my previous blog, there’s quite a few big
punches that are throwing themselves off balance, but this is no different than
a runner throws himself off balance and chase’s his own balance point down a track,
it’s a controlled way off being off balance, just like the boxers does but there
only off balance for a micro second as the head and hips help pop the shockwave
into the end of the punch. And these are also set up first so there’s less danger
if they miss of being countered
