a hook
In boxing (and most martial arts), a jab is performed by sticking out the leading fist with the muscles of the arm and shoulder. A hook, by contrast, uses all of these muscles, plus many more in the core and even the legs to twist the body and drive the punch to its target. Thus, because the hook uses more muscles, it tends to be more powerful.
Punch is the term mainly used in Boxing. Basically there are 4 kinds of punches in boxing jab, straight right or left hand, hook and uppercut.
Maybe,but you throw another punch line I will punch you! From rockey 950
If you have time, tensing your muscles helps.
push up from crouch with legs so calves quads hams rotory motion of torso hips ab muscles then upper body movement chest and biceps for a hook (mainly) usually chest shoulder and triceps for straight punches back triceps and shoulders come into play too
yes, because you are helping your muscles in your arms
All of them! Good kicks require solid muscles from the feet up into the abs. Good punches require solid muscles from the shoulders down to the toes. And every muscle needs to be able to take a punch or a kick without becoming useless.
A bell punch is a conductor's punch which rings a bell when used.
depending on the punch. you use different muscles for different movements. for a jab or cross i would say tricep. but for a hook or uppercut you use your whole body so its hard to say. punching is more technique than brute strength
It's a punch that resembles a controlled haymaker or an overhand right more than anything, it's almost like a signature punch for Fedor Emelianenko and Igor Vovchanchyn.
Effective for what? Setting up a combination? That would be the jab. Effective at rendering the other person unconscious? A hook or overhand to the jaw/chin. Power punch has force!
