Eddie asked:
How do you increase your force and a punch acceleration?
So you have to train your tendons and technique and then you focus, okay. That’s how you get power. Okay. When you define it, it comes down to force over area areas of focus, where how you’re hitting and then you force.
Okay. And obviously getting your technique, everything behind it. Learn how to get your basically a, if you want to try to get your force in terms of your timing.
Timing is very important because of the timing is off. I could punch with a lot of arm power of my hips behind, I can impact and then get the lay and that’ll create proper timing and then it’ll fail you.
So time is very important with the technique and focus. All, all those three are very important. So getting your connection and the connection is basically, if you break it down and it comes with six points in your body, your ankle, you need your hip, your shoulder or your elbow, wrist.
And then combining all of that to work at snap all at one time. And getting to the point of what you’re making contact. So small point, you develop very, very good power and very little effort cause you know, pick it up a dumbbell with just a bicep , puts a lot of stress on the bicep.
Let’s just say what takes 50 kilo joules to pick up from your bicep. But if you divide the workload or among your whole body, it’s still the same energy. It’s just might be, let’s say I have 10 points in my body, so it’s only five kilojoules per muscle group because I’m using one muscle group, but it’s still the same energy.
It’s just less work per muscle group, less load per muscle group I should say. And that’ll help you. So dividing the workload is much better. It’s less strain on the body.

Is Jiu Jitsu Good or Bad To Learn?
People there I sent over from west Ross. What do you think of Jiu Jitsu? Jiu Jitsu is good. It has its value. I mean it’s proven itself. Uh, in, in, in MMA its proven itself in, if you watch videos to Jiu Jitsu has shown that it can take a lot, but it by itself it becomes weak.
Cause as you can see in MMA, it’s, it’s, it’s grown, it’s evolved to where it can handle grapplers you know, you can see a lot of times the strikers we’ll learn how in the beginning they didn’t, but now you’ve got the ground and pound techniques.
You’ve got people know how to handle, um, the grapplers so you know, now the grapplers need to evolve and know how to handle the strikes to, because everything’s evolving. It changes.
Everything is changing. And so you have to adapt to that change. Now, history, you’ll always see things change.
You always see people like Karate was so powerful, you know, and then came Aikido , Aiki Jiu Jitsu and they learn how to take shotogan and take their energy, absorb it and turn it back to them.
Everything has evolved. Even Bruce Lee evolves the style because he saw that in China it worked well because people like to fight close in America. And he saw that people did not like to stay close.
So I’d like to make the space he, that’s why he started thinking outside the box and said, listen, this doesn’t work here. And he started evolving it and to try to make like you did, he wrote a book, I didn’t read it, I saw it, but he did like low kicks and learn how to close in the distance by taken out the legs first and then closing the distance and then using Wing Chun for that ability.
So no matter what style you do, you have to find a way to handle whatever it is you’re fighting . That’s why we’re all about the energy. Cause then you know, no matter what style you are, it’s about the energy. Learn how to control the energy.
Well that to anything. It’s universal. So if I’m in a grappling situation, I tell my students this, you know, in the beginning, have you ever looked, uh, people when they did Jiu Jitsu a lot of people just sprawling techniques they wanted to get away and they actually, uh, was trying to prevent that from happening.
Now you see more people, they know how to get in and close in and come down on top of them and, and try to put pressure back on. So they have learned how to, um, handle takedowns and put that back on them.
Whereas before, people want to prevent it. Now people don’t mind getting into it and learn how to put on and it’s evolved. So too, Jiu Jitsu itself should evolve. If it’s all about pure grappling and you do it for sport, it’s great.
But if you’re doing an MMA, obviously nobody just does Jujitsu because they’re going to get hit in the face is the easiest. They don’t know how to handle, how to handle the strikers as well. So they have to evolve if they’re trying to, uh, to, uh, become more improved upon handling these MMA guys.
And you know, that’s what martial arts is always about evolving. Once you start sticking to one thing and times change and you don’t, you’re an old record, you know, you’re an Eight Track. If anybody knows what that is, it’s, it’s out of date. You need to update today. Everyone’s streams, you know, so you got to update with the Times.
People are going to handle differently and you got to learn how to handle that. The good thing is energy is universal. It’s always there. It stays true from the beginning of time to the end of time is always going to be the same. You know what today is like the Principle of energy.
It’s the wants to go the path of least resistance, right That’s going to stay for next hundred years. Can I, can I prove that Well, I can tell you, no one can disprove it. So, um, it’s, it’s, uh, these are sciences. These are facts, you know, learn how to understand principles and using that to adapt the techniques. That’s what you want.
