Ah, I was referencing, leaving the ball joint in socket, with repetitious impact, and the damage that would follow.
Could you elaborate on that? I'm trying to picture the joint and how different punching methods affect the pressure transmitted to it. I'm not having much success.
If punching affects your shoulders then it means that your punching technique is off. Go back to basics and focus on how to throw the punch correctly just focus on technique.
if you are punching correctly then it's actually less work on your shoulders. Use your waist(not your hips) when you throw punches and all of that hardship on your shoulders will vanish and you'll end up with a more powerful punch.
It is not a good thing, for the long term. You don't want to be injuring your joints at 14. I hurt my knee at 16 or so throwing bad kicks and it still bothers me. 23 now and I have to accept the knee issue will continue for decades to come.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, you are gonna be better off dropping your knee to center before picking the knee up to kick, or anchoring your elbow on center, as part of your punching process, Anything else is gonna cause scar tissue to build up inside the joint. If you do this simple thing, it will increase your range by almost a foot. For some reason, this all works better if your knees are bent.
Now I'm lost. Are you talking about the shoulder?Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, you are gonna be better off dropping your knee to center before picking the knee up to kick, or anchoring your elbow on center, as part of your punching process, Anything else is gonna cause scar tissue to build up inside the joint.

Yeah, but the hip is the shoulder of the leg, and incident-ly, the neck is the wrist of the head.
Just make sure you punch just like you are shooting a basket, but lower.
That makes sense to me - I'm still not sure what he meant about leaving the ball joint in socket.
Okay, I think I know what you mean about the ball being in the socket. I never really paid attention to the shoulder, perhaps because I was taught the elbow position so early it's just what I've always done.Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, you are gonna be better off dropping your knee to center before picking the knee up to kick, or anchoring your elbow on center, as part of your punching process, Anything else is gonna cause scar tissue to build up inside the joint.

Put down the hallucinogens, TOD!Yeah, but the hip is the shoulder of the leg, and incident-ly, the neck is the wrist of the head.
Oh, no. I definitely DON'T want to punch like I shoot a basket. I'd manage to hit my opponent maybe 10% of the time...
We have discussed this before, and you informed me it was dangerous, but I still stand by, going through the motion of kicking something with your knee, before striking with the foot. Maybe it is dangerous for a beginner to do it fast, but the motion is sound.Put down the hallucinogens, TOD!
