| chamber?
Is there a reason to chamber a hand when blocking and punching? My tkd instructor says its for power but after watching many boxing matches, I have never seen a chamber. I was talking to a MT guy last night and he said over 60% of punching power comes from the hips and you need to keep that hand up or else you will be popped. My TKD instructor actually has us punch without the hips. So it seems like chambering and not using the hips are bad habits. Can anyone confirm this? |
