	Punching Techniques (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The punch is a hand technique which uses the muscles of the arms and trunk to transfer the power generated by the legs and hips to the target.
		The forearm is rotated during the punch, stopping palm down, which allows a better connection between the arm and the shoulder and chest muscles to be acheived.
		The "correct" punch and therefore the correct route is determined by the position and angle of the target surface in relation to the puncher.

	Punch (strike) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When punches are practiced on a heavy punching bag, bag gloves are worn to protect the skin of the hand, and the hands are wrapped tightly to protect them from damage due to repetitive impacts.
		In boxing, punches are classified according to the motion and direction of the strike; contact is always made with the knuckles.
		Hook: A relatively wide sweeping, rotating motion of the hip is the hallmark of the hook punch; it is executed by bending the elbow, bringing the arm to a parallel position with the ground, and using the abdominal muscles to twist the upper body away from the target.

		As the punching elbow clears the hip, a little resistance can be felt from the arm muscles, so it is most natural to allow the forearm to twist, giving a shearing motion to the punch.
		Throughout the punch, minimize tension on the outside of the arm and over the shoulder to maintain a smooth arch under the arm -- tensing the latissimus dorsi and serratus anterior muscles (along the ribs) -- to transfer the forces.
		When you are punching, imagine that the sound coming from the voice into your ear can take two neurological paths: One path goes to the brain to tell you that a sound has been received; the other path triggers a body reflex to start the technique.
