How The Precision Punch Works

     The Precision Punch Striking Trainer maximizes a fighters potential by tightening their guard, increasing their accuracy, speed, and power through keeping them in the box. Keeping the elbows inside the shoulders is the first step in building proper technique and body mechanics. Whether striking or guarding, keeping the elbows inside the box is a crucial element of the stand-up game and helps in several ways.

     First, staying in the box will shorten the distance traveled throughout the strike, allowing the fighter to keep is hands in front of him to maintain his balance and this will improve the fighter's accuracy. The shorter distance will mean the strike arrives faster decreasing the opponent's ability to slip or block it, but because the fighter is moving directly toward the target and not away from it they will be accelerating the entire time of the strike.

     This acceleration is where the fighter will first be improving his power, but because the elbows will have been inside the box the entire strike, the strike will have smoother tempo and at the moment of contact the body weight will be completely behind the punch allowing for perfect striking tempo.

     The most important element in any kind of striking, is speed, this is true with Baseball and Golf as well. The Power of a strike is a cause of the speed and weight of the object that is doing the striking.

     What this means to a fighter is that your punch can get harder without your weight getting heavier but by your speed getting faster. With this improved speed and tempo you will experience a boost in power, but this increased speed and accuracy will also cause your percentage of strikes landed to improve and that will mean that you will not throw as many punches, you will not get as tired as early in the bout.

     There are many aspects of the stand-up game that get positively affected by keeping the elbows inside the box, from more powerful punches to a higher percentage of strikes landed and The Precision Punch Striking Trainer will train you to be able to do this faster and easier than ever before!!
