Generating Punching Power with the Push-shuffle - TFA Intermediate Footwork

Generating Punching Power
with the
Push-shuffle
(TFA Intermediate Footwork)



Video summary:
Sifu Marcus Lovemore demonstrates the Transformational Fighting Arts intermediate footwork technique on how to generate power from your push-shuffle to your straight punch while maintaining power and economy of motion.


Training Suggestions:
If you ever want to generate power or intercept in any realistic way with any of your hand weapons, including your elbows and shrugs - without sacrificing economy of motion - you must master this footwork technique.

The significant difference between this punching footwork and most others is, most other footwork to the punch techniques are exactly that - footwork to a punch. Most of these other techniques are two distinct motions - basically step and hit systems (e.g. Boxing , Karate, and Tai Kwon Do). Why? The up side to this step and hit concept is that you are very grounded on contact. The down side is, you limit your full expression of power by expressing most of your power into the ground in that step. Step and hit is mostly muscular tork energy from the rotation of your hip and shoulder, and is almost the same amount of power as your stationary shot. Seems a shame to waist all that forward momentum by just stopping and then hitting. Why do two things when you can do one (3 to 2 to 1 rule).

I show you the solution to this possible problem in this video. I show you how to collapse the set and hit into one fluid motion without giving up any rotational tork. Remember this is probably not what you are used to, so please practice this at least 500 times with all your hand weapons before you think about employing it. Also, understand the timing is very important to either hit before your front foot hits the ground, or hit simultaneously. Everything else is just step and hit and a waist of your expression because is not truly you.

Good training,
Sifu Marcus
