Body Coordination For Power

Generation of power can be maximized through properly coordinating the moving parts of your body to lock at the same time. You generate power by striking outward very quickly with your arm. You generate power by pulling back with your non-striking arm. You generate power by turning your waist. You generate power by pushing off with your legs while gripping the ground. These are some of the individual things that you can do to generate power in your strike. The big trick is to do all of these individual things at the same time and have them coordinate so the peak power in each individual component occurs at the exact same moment. Turning your waist followed by extending your arm results in a technique where you only use the power of your arm because the waist turn finished before you began your technique. The ideal situation has all of the components of your technique ending at the same time resulting in your hips, arms, legs, shoulders all locking at the same time. Think about this when you are executing your techniques and your power will increase.
