The straight is a higher success rate punch compared to other power punches. In this segment we'll see and come to better understand one that landed perfectly timed. Rough draft script: "The best punch is the one that's best for the moment. In this sense, there are techniques which land more often than others because they have more consistent windows of entry, but also may have the least repercussion when thrown. This is why the Jab is the most important punch. feeling for entry, a quick pop with just the right commitment allowing for quit exit need be... But what about the straight? The straight is a high skill technique that takes a long time to perfect the body mechanics of. It's ability to beat sloppy technique, or looping punches to the punch makes it another higher success rate move. Some punches land more often than others. The straight with the right finesse in body mechanics ensures more consistent entry than more dedicated power punches... And if you can hurt someone with a perfectly timed punch, if you can knock them off balance or footing, if you can beat sloppy or looping techniques to the punch, punishing them for their ill form or high risk high reward gamble... The straight, it has served it's role well. The Mechanic of a cross is simple despite how long it takes to master. Turning with your hips, the primary focus from a balanced position is to feel your left shoulder pull back if you are orthodox. In pulling the left shoulder back, it acts as a fulcrum or counter balance for the cross snapping forward. This philosophy can be used directly towards life. Just observe what consistently works for you more often, and just do that unless you have an aptitude for another direction."
