Different equipment. Different strikes. Shared fundamentals. 🥊

Whether you train with a traditional kung fu bean bag, a boxing or MMA heavy bag, or a wooden dummy, understanding how your body works together matters.

And it’s not just about punching. Principles of balance, alignment, and whole-body coordination can also apply to palm strikes and forearm strikes.

KUNG FU PUNCHING 101
A beginner-friendly workshop with Sifu Kin Sze

We use punching to explore how your feet, legs, hips, trunk, shoulder, and fist work together—rather than relying only on your arms.

WHAT YOU’LL EXPLORE
• Ground connection and leg drive
• Hip stability and trunk control
• Shoulder, arm, and wrist alignment
• Common “power leaks”
• Fundamentals relevant to kung fu, karate, boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA

Optional before-and-after punch-force testing gives you feedback to reflect on—not a competition.

You won’t master punching in one afternoon. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of the fundamentals and what to practise next.

Flashy high kicks won’t be effective if you cannot control your balance ❌️

It’s about being effectively anchoring one leg to the earth 🌎 while whipping the other leg as a weapon

True power and control – Glute activation 🍑

When you engage your glutes of the supporting leg, you lock your pelvis and latch your entire body to the ground like the root of a tree🌴

If you allow your glute to fall asleep, your kicking kinetic chain leaks, you lose power and you compensate with other parts of your body – your back, your thighs, your knees. 

Don't get injured, wake up your glutes and maximize your kicking potential! 💢💥

Punching power is generated from the ground up. By pushing the feet off the ground, the ground rebound force is directed through a rigid, locked kinetic chain to the target through the hands.

The body is a kinetic chain - an assembly of body sections and limbs joined together like a chain.

Maximizing punching power is a coordination art, not muscle size. It is an art of staying relaxed and then bracing the whole chain just milliseconds before impact.

If you are practicing martial arts: kung fu, boxing, karate, taekwondo, kickboxing, any predominantly hand striking martial art styles, it is worth noting that your true power in your striking techniques comes from your legs and lower body structures pushing into the ground - ground rooting technique.

Generating power by driving your feet off the ground is an efficient, biomechanically sound way to generate a massive amount of power in your punching or hand striking techniques.

Instead of being led into flashy, acrobatic techniques, practicing ground technique is not flashy and sometimes can be frustrating. Once you achieve a breakthrough, the feeling is very rewarding, and the ingrained muscle memory will serve you well.
