My thoughts are along the lines of these statements. But I would expand a little more.Your structure is off a bit. In theory you are punching like you are going to hit something. So even though you are hitting air your punches still need to genarate power properly.
Where in your case your body moves then your arm moves it all looks disconnected from each other.
Damn that is harsh lol.This is going to sound harsh but I say it with no ill intent just honest opinion...while I appreciate your willingness to put yourself out for criticism and hopefully help I am going to be honest...I can not lie with this. Your fundamentals suck.

Don't sacrifice technique. It's fine to be relaxed but you have to be relax within the techniques that you are using. If being relaxed is the goal then train relaxation for the movement that you need to use. You can still make a fist while being relaxed. It's difficult but it's possible. The key is how you squeeze the fist. If that's too hard for you then make but don't squeeze all the way until the end of the punch. If you use open hand techniques then keep your hands open for those specific techniques.The way I am moving about in the video is a very relaxed form of myself; I sacrifice power, and technique, by aiming to relax my muscles as much as possible regardless of whether I need to use them or not. It's why my hands don't shape into fists, and why my arms look more like dangling ropes than anything else.
Thanks for the input guys. The way I am moving about in the video is a very relaxed form of myself; I sacrifice power, and technique, by aiming to relax my muscles as much as possible regardless of whether I need to use them or not. It's why my hands don't shape into fists, and why my arms look more like dangling ropes than anything else. I will post another video emphasising more on technique, and I hope you guys can provide some more of this great feedback and constructive criticism.
To help with generating power when shadowboxing, I use weights (currently 5 kg ones)Your structure is off a bit. In theory you are punching like you are going to hit something. So even though you are hitting air your punches still need to genarate power properly.

yea, you can over do that and change the punch mechanics to much resisting the gravitational effectsTo help with generating power when shadowboxing, I use weights (currently 5 kg ones)
Yes, I understand that, but it can also help develop punching power. If you combine both then shadowboxing with weights is much more effective then without.yea, you can over do that and change the punch mechanics to much resisting the gravitational effects
the power of a punch comes primerily from speed and transfere of body weight, the actual strengh of the muscles is less important other than it helps develop speed
but shadow boxing is not good for developing punchibg power at all, doing it with weights doesnt therefore help muchYes, I understand that, but it can also help develop punching power. If you combine both then shadowboxing with weights is much more effective then without.

hit things
helps? it marginaly improves something that isnt very good in the first placeIf you shadow box with weights, it does help.
