RE: Classic 1- 4 Boxing Combo w MMA Twist at UFC Gym

Thanks for the video. Here's a random discussion question that I need an opinion on. I might get some fun answers. I've had Karate instructors teach when throwing a punch to make contact with the index and middle knuckle for point of impact. It's where you are pointing with the index knuckle. I'd say it's hard to keep track of what part of the hand makes contact with the point of impact. Do you find that there is a specific part of the hand to use when making contact with an opponent?

I've seen that in books, but agree that in actual sparring or fighting just keeping from accidentally smashing my own fingers is about all I can keep track of 😎 That said focusing your power into one small point as much as possible is legit. This is the argument for accuracy> power

You got that right. I'll find myself with a wrist sprain if I don't focus on my punches. I tape my fingers as it is for my jiu jitsu training. Any good advice on where to find other good material for improvements on boxing/stand up? My striking can use work.

Haha! It's true though :) Here on #Steemit I follow @martiallee - he's posted a number of tips and workouts for hitting the heavy bag. I also like Shane Fazen's Fight Tips. He has tons of good advice for beginners and enthusiasts. Here's a good video of his explaining some of these same tips about throwing hooks:
