Description: myboxingcoach.com - When developing punch power, the wall pad is a really good piece of punching equipment to use. As always though, technique, and combining skills, is king! The wall pad is basically a heavy bag that is fixed to a solid surface and does not move when punched. It's a heavy bag without the swing. So, in this video we use the wall pad in 2 ways. Firstly, we focus on footwork. We move in to range of the wall pad, we deliver the punches, we pivot off the lead foot and exit in a different direction. Because the wall pad does not move, it is up to you to be dynamic and inject good foot movement into your work. The second way we are using the wall pad is to focus on our punch power. We use hooks, left hooks and right hooks, and we focus on driving punch power from our feet. To drive extra punch power in the left hook (or lead hand hook), you can add a slip. This slip will generate more stored energy in the lead leg to be transferred into the punch. With the right hook (or back hand hook), you already have a huge amount of punch power potential because of the availability of hip rotation. Of course these principles cross over onto conventional punch bags, but a wall pad is always a nice alternative to work your punch power.
