You tell people to lean forward. That adds nothing to the punch, at all; and it puts all your wieght on your front foot which traps it and throws off yoru balance. everything was pretty spot on except for one thing.

Sure enough it worked. I had to drag the guy out the back door though and that was tough because I think I broke my hand. I imagine when he comes to he's going to want to split, he's going to be soaked too as it is pouring rain. I just had to try this so I hit this guy who came into sell stolen pictures in our office.

There's no simple definitive reply: it's a matter of timing the impact of the fist so it corresponds with moment when body is in full swing. So you can whip out the fist at the end of the movement of your body, or mix it up by throwing the fist early while making sure the body is behind the punch at the point of impact. I can now practice getting that timing right. Thanks for quick response – yes that is helpful.

Glad it helps. Before I go on, make note that I was sparring/training using grappling gloves (similar to <a href="http://www.vitaminsandminerals.com/images/products/VM-AC-8994.jpg" rel="nofollow">these</a>), so you may have to make adjustments to distances I mention as you're using thicker boxing gloves. And one thing before the main advice: Putting your weight "through the punch" is often misinterpreted as having to follow through after you make contact with the opponent. The fact is though, that a 2-3 inches after the punch is delivered, you just start pushing. This can be good if you want to unbalance the opponent and if he's likely to fall if given the push. But if not, 2-3 inches are more than enough and you should immediately withdraw to guard yourself (and/or to deliver a follow-up punch) and prevent losing your own balance. Okay, I'm guessing the reason you're not getting definitive answers is that you can deliver the ultimate "heavy snap" with the weight of your body despite the exact moment you throw your arm. But (and this is a large "but"): Moving your body before you move your arm is a larger movement, and thus your opponent is likelier to have time to react. Personally, I became accustomed to throwing my hand at the same time as I started swiveling, which is not optimum due to telegraphing, but works fine. Point being: It's a matter of timing. Your body is the power-driver, the hand is just the medium of delivery — contact should be made when the driver has reached maximum power; whether the arm moved first, or the body. You following me? If you can manage throwing your hand first and moving your body afterwards while still getting that powerful snap with the weight of your body — then that's great. But otherwise: just keep in mind that your arm is just a stick that is somewhat (not entirely) irrelevant to the power of the punch. (But as with everything in life, there are exceptions!)

I still have a question. Just started boxing training in last few months, and find it difficult to get definitve answer from coaches/sparring partners. My question is: when should the arm be thrown? Everyone says "put your weight through the punch". Other people advise "the arm comes out at the end of the punch, after your foot has swivelled, your hips rotated and your shoulders turned". I find it difficult to reconcile these two pieces of advice in practice. I suppose if my fist leaves my shoulder at the same time as my foot starts to swivel I am throwing the arm too early; equally if my fist leaves my shoulder after my foot, leg, hip and shoulders have finished rotating I am throwing the arm too late. Suppose the answer is to think of the energy moving from the heel of the back foot, then up the leg, then through the hips, then the back and shoulders and finally into the arm. It's a chain reaction where one movement leads seemlessly to the next. I think I have tendency to over-analyse! Any guidance gratefully received so I can apply in my training.
