The simple truth involved in improving MAXIMUM STRIKING power comes from your lower body strength, NOT your upper body strength. Yes, the key to creating maximum striking power comes from your leg strength, balance AND your ability to Pivot Your Hips to deliver devastating striking power!
The stronger your legs and the quicker your pivot speed, THE MORE STRIKING POWER YOU WILL HAVE! This is not only true for martial artists it is true for any athlete.
For example, a baseball players’ hitting power comes from not only his lower body strength but also from how fast he can pivot his body from the hips. The same holds true for a tennis player. When they drive their bodies towards the ball (in their particular sport) it is the lower body + timing that creates the power to the ball. If their balance is not exactly correct, i.e., if they are leaning forward or leaning back, they will not be in a position to deliver maximum power.
I have created a little exercise that can help you to be able to transfer maximum power through to your strikes. It is simple and easy to do and as you start to develop your rhythm and balance your striking power will improve dramatically. Give it a try!
