In martial arts practice, we are taught to pivot our hips to put power into the punch. However, when we spar, I see me and most of the students just punch with their arms.
Pivoting our hips seems to take too much time and too much thought. In sparring our reaction has to be fast.
What we do in practice like gathering power from the ground and spiraling the power up into our bodies and into our arms as we punch just can't be pulled off in sparring because it takes too much time.
Is there a solution to this problem?
