When you throw a strike, a punch for example, which moves first, your hand or your body?
Many people say the hand moves first and the body follows through.
If you’ve practiced the Silk Reeling exercises of Tai Chi you know that movement begins in the feet and channels upward through the waist and is released through the hand. In other wards, the hand completes the movement, it doesn’t begin it.
It’s like snapping a towel.
You can generate tremendous force for knockdown punches, but you need to practice correctly or you’ll have big problems with telegraphing.
