Boxing and Martial Arts
This is the hardest part of teaching the whip blow. When teaching people how to strike, I have to use different references to different people. So remember that these are just a few methods of exemplification, references or visualization. They may or may not work. They are just different ways to visualize the blow and it's up to you to figure out which one helps the most to understand the blow with whip effect when wearing boxing body protector.
Method 1 - Strike in Two Frames This method helps you strike with more speed and explosion. Do not imagine your fist making a slow-motion trajectory to the opponent. Instead, imagine your first exploding from your body in the direction of your opponent. It is as if it were a movement so fast that it would not be possible to observe the blow making the trajectory in the air. Imagine if someone was watching you strike, your punches would simply disappear from the starting position and instantly appear to hit the target, in this case, the opponent. Method 2 - Relaxed Launch, Relaxed Return Their strokes start with relaxed muscles, have a phase of acceleration during the trajectory and reach the maximum speed centimeters before impact. You start your strokes slowly (in slow motion) and cause your body to do the whip effect adding speed and strength as the movement approaches the end. This method allows your body to have time to add weight to the blow at the beginning of the movement, before rotating the first and before reaching the target. Breathing is also similar - you slowly exhale at the beginning of the blow and accelerate that exhalation quickly as the blow hits the target. The return of the arm to the guard must occur in a relaxed manner as the weight of the body is distributed so that another blow in sequence is released in the same manner. Method 3 - Early Recovery Try to return your arm to the guard ahead of what you normally do. Try to make this recovery before the blow almost does not penetrate the punching bag. You may find that all your strike sequences will become faster and have a whip effect magnified because your fists will touch the target for less time and will also stay on track for less time. Method 4 - Shock, Do Not Push Many people will say that their blows should not push the punch bag, that in fact the punch bag should be shaking under the same shaft as if it were having a seizure. The punching bag should not stand swaying to all sides if you are using the lash effect technique correctly. Instead, he should shake in the same place as if he were having a seizure. Method 5 - Strike From Hips Do not picture your wrists as being weights attached to the ends of your arms. Instead, imagine your wrists as being weights attached to your hips. Your arms and hands will be relaxed and level on your hips as you move around the punching bag. When you are ready, quickly fasten your base to the floor and contract the abdomen, imagining that your hands gain "weight" and trigger that weight with speed from the hips. Method 6 - Do not Look This method helps you relax your hands even more and allows your body to move more naturally using the speed and strength you actually have instead of using "programmed strokes". Basically what you should do is hit the punching bag without looking. Just toss your fists anywhere in the punching bag. Try to get each hit to a location close to where the previous hit struck, without "controlling" the blow much. Method 7 - Stealing Bread I heard this funny analogy being used to describe the rapid movement of the coup and realized it might be useful. Basically you should imagine that your hand is being fired in the direction of your opponent in a relaxed manner. Your fist will rotate and strain as if you are "catching a lot of bread" and quickly bring your fist back into the guard. Let's steal bread! Method 8 - Whip VS Stick Visualize your arm as a whip. Every stroke (except the jab) has a preparation movement where you relax the arm causing your chest to lengthen slightly before you throw the arm forward and create the blow with a quick whip. What you should not do is stress your arm and swing it "like a bat" before the blow. Again, strike like a whip, not like a staff. Method 9 - Touch the Stroke Bag When you strike a blow with a whip effect correctly, you will hear a smack sound caused by the impact of the blow. When you hit a blow with a jerk, the sound will be different and you will hear something more muffled like "tuf". The "smack" sound pops up because you're touching the punching bag with perfect whip blows. Go ahead, listen to your blows, and try to cause the smack in the punching bag. Method 10 - Counter Strike When you strike, counter (retract) your target blow as fast as you can. This will force you to realize the correct time of return to guard to properly execute the blow with whip effect. You should contract the musculature of the shoulders and the back to strike with firmness, and then you must relax that musculature so that the fist is rebounded by the target.
