Answer 5

If you're using just a regular punch, like most people think of it, you should be punching with the first two knuckles (your index and middle finger); they can take the most pressure. Make sure you have a good, solid stance with your hands up by your face; for more power, twist your hips or pivot your foot.  Also, do not fully extend your arm; keep it slightly bent, or you can overextend your elbow.  Punch fast, and bring your hand back fast to avoid the other person trapping your hand.  Breathe out; a silent kia, if you know what that is.  Don't telegraph by cocking back your hand; just let it fly from your face.
