Punching?

[pompey]

How can i increase my punching power? My martial arts teacher said that any normal person can knock any 1 out. I disagree about that. How can any normal person knock a boxer or even a trained martial artist. He said speed is everything and that is the key to knock out some1, but i still disagree. Do u think that it is possible to knock a boxer out, i doubt that?

According to the orogramme Braniac (the fountain of scientific knoweldge lol) increased adrenaline can have a very significant impact on your punching power. They had a chappy weighing 9.5 stone who was only able to punch 100lbs psi on a funfiar machine. After taking him on a rollercoaster ride he then went back and punched 200lbs psi!! Double the amount. So if you are in a situation whereby your adrenalin levels are greatly increased - what they call the "fight or flight" syndrome - YES it is very possible for a regular person to floor even a boxer or martial arts expert. xxxx

In a word 'technique' speed being only one part of this. A boxer is no less susceptible to being knocked out as you cannot train the brain against being knocked of its axis. The only hard part would be getting close enough in the first place.

you are just not ard enuff pompey. fist makes contact with skull - skull rotates - brain hits skull - unconsciousness results. a knock out. do boxers and MA have special brains? no they have strong neck muscles. stop trying to be so tough.

I think you asked these questions about height/physique/punching power a few weeks back pompey. The answers now were the same as then. Stop worrying, don't try to be 'the big, hard man' and wait and see what/how you develope.

Most boxers would tell you that if you hit anybody on the chin with just a few pounds of force and it will knock them out.
