How do you increase punching power?
>>37019051
Learn proper technique
>be born with natural punching levers
>have explosive muscle fibers
>have a weird ability to engage and turn through hips. Probably mostly genetic
>>37019051
Increase body weight and use it on the punch
>>37019103
No, engaging and turning in the hips isn't mostly genetic. It's mostly technique.
Force = Mass x Acceleration. When you learn proper technique you learn how to punch with your entire body (the hip thing), thus adding more mass to the formula. You also learn how to punch fast, adding acceleration to the formula.
OP - Nr. 1 way to punch harder is learning and train the technique. You do that by joining a boxing club. (As said both mass and acceleration here)
Of course you can also train your speed / rate of force development. (Acceleration)
And just increasing your BW is also a way to punch harder. (Mass)
Sorry for eventual grammar mistakes. I am not a native speaker.

Go to a boxing gym and take lessons. They probably know more than anyone on here. It's called /fit/ not /mma/.

First off it's called a pivot not "the hip thing" second there are numerous ways you can do it, but first you should start with slow movements. I'm not talking fucking tai chi slow either put a little force but practice your pivot. You don't run before you crawl. Once you get that down, you should be able to shadow box holding dumbbells. Another way is to hang your bag higher so your punching the bottom of the bag because the bottom is way harder than the top. Punching doesn't matter though if your not accurate, so train on the double end. Beachball is good for starters but gradually go down to a smaller one to the point your punching a tennis ball. Push ups help with your ability to punch too. once you got that down packed, spar like a motherfucker. Work your way up to 8 - 10 round sparring sessions.
>>37019051
100 push ups
100 sit ups
100 squats
10km running
every single day
Punch gravel to toughen your knuckles.

By practicing. To develop a skill you need to generally prepare your body obviously but once you have sufficient strength and mobility what's left to do is the specific skill work. You get good at punching by punching a lot, not by doing push ups not by benching, not by watching rocky and motivational "how bad do you wanna succeed" video. It's not glamorous. Whatever skill you're working on you'll need to spend several years developing before it become noteworthy or impressive. Certain disciplines have carryover to eachother but you need very specific work. You can't go jogging a couple of time a week and expect you'll be good at swimming since they're both aerobic activities.

This.
And eat your vegetables, and water your cactus.
Clap push-ups for explosive strength
Im not telling
>>37019051
Start spinning
>>37020298
THE CACTUS IS THE REASON
>>37019146
You fucking dumbass, its not mass you're adding. Its torque from twisting your hips.
>>37020298
>and water your cactus
wat
>>37020145
Dont do this
>>37019051
Although knockout power is a trait you can be born with it can also be learned. Punching is a snapping motion, not pushing so lifting will not help too much. Force is determined by mass x acceleration. Although you can increase your mass by a little bit (of your fist), you will find the most improvement in being able to "snap" your point of contact from one place to another quickly. Core exercises will help a lot, particularly obliques. And repetition, its a skill like anything you improve with practice. If you are looking for knockout force there is a lot more than power that goes into putting a man down. Timing, body position, the location of the punch, and your opponents course of motion all factor in.

Not every mma fighter is Honda housey my man.
You're born with it. You can teach someone to punch with perfect technique, that doesn't mean theyll punch hard. Just like throwing a baseball 100+ mph. You can learn to throw and never be able to throw at high speeds
Just stick with Tai Chi
You dont need to be born with it to master it

Technique. 90% of power is using your body.
Martial artists gain most of their punching strength from "grounding", they develop the ability to keep their body firm on the ground in nearly any situation, even when standing on their toes.
When you're properly grounded, you can use your legs to push off the ground (but still stay down firmly), and direct the force through your body, swing from your hips, turn your chest, fling your arm and extend your lower arm at the last second.
You seriously won't believe how much power you can exert, but it all starts with grounding and technique. Imagine the force of a squat diverted to your arm, that is why you will accomplish.
Train muay Thai/boxing. Bam, now you punch harder.

NO nigga, you practice hard punching by punching a hard BAG, you punch through the bag.
Hitting a wall is autistic and will fuck up your hands for no purpose. If you can punch a wall so hard that you wont break your arms youre made out of fucking spagetti
>>37019051
Train your bag and your core very hard.
>>37020298
Also no air conditioning or heating to strengthen the mind.
