• Keep wrist locked. When punching (circular or linear), ensure your wrists are correctly aligned with your forearm. If your wrist bends or collapses on impact, it may either sprain or break.

• Tighten fist on impact. This augments the impact power of your strike and protects the fist.

• Relax. Tension is the opposite of everything good or favorable in your performance. Tension is the opposite of speed. Tension is the opposite of power. Tension telegraphs you intentions Tension is the opposite of mobility. Tension is a drain on endurance. In the case of punching power, tension in the shoulders is the problem. 

• Punch with entire body. When you punch with the whole body, the opponents feels your mass behind the punch. A Thai saying states that a person who really knows how to hit moves fluidly but his touch is as heavy as a mountain.

• Focus. Full power must come at precisely the right range at the right time so the punch does not come up short or get jammed.

• Impact point. The point of impact should be the web space between the first two fingers. This point will not actually strike the target but using it as a striking point will ensure the first two knuckles strike the target first.

• Sequence. Punching power comes from a succession of coordinated muscle contractions and releases.
