Punch Power Exercise

Taken from “Triple Your  Punching Power Overnight” by Royce Bunch

Originally in Inside Kung-Fu January 1999

            “Place pillow or another soft object against a wall.  Place your fist or palm against the target and push at four different ranges: long, medium, short, and very short.  Do not lean into target; turn waist into target.  Hold a few minutes at each position, tense the whole body, then press to the point of shaking.  At each of the four levels, go into the target in sequence and step backward in sequence.  Remember to hold tension at each level.”

Long range- arm fully extended, but not locked out

Short range- Elbow at side
