Cross Power Punch in Kickboxing

Hi my name is Julio Anta with Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense and our website is www.antakungfu.com. What we are going to demonstrate now is the cross. This is your power plunge after you jab someone you come to cross around. Ready, move, move, move, move. All right as you can see the cross the most important thing your power comes from your hip. See the turn of her hip and the lifting of her heel. It is not like a groddy kung fu type of punch that you keep it straight. The idea with this is to turn your hips and bring your fists in. She is doing it like that for instructional purpose so that you can see it. Now do it correctly. You can see it never stops in midpoint. Some boxers call it flea swapping. If you see a flea you need to hit it fast. Okay. The faster it goes in the more power. Power comes from the turning of the hip, from the lifting of the heel and from bringing it in faster than it goes out. It’s like the principal of a bullet. Again for fitness kickboxing we need the correct alignment. This will work your obliques, intercostals and your hip. It works as a functional work out, almost your entire body and if you are in a fight, this is your power punch. If you are in a boxing kickboxing match punch to the jaw. If you are in a street fight punch them in the throat. Okay, keep on going. Turning the hips see the perfect alignment and her knees are slightly bent.
