And never put your thumb inside the fist, that's where a dowel or roll of quarters goes.
Beat me to it by two hours, and don't forget to scale from dimes to dollar coins (sorry Yankees, try the Canuck or European ones if you have no rolls in your sock drawer), as optimized for your own hand size.
My rolls of pennies has a function afterall.
Other errors people make with fists:
Putting the thumb under the fingertips in such a way that impact would push the fingertips into the thumb.
Letting the thumb just stick off to the side.
Angling the thumb along the arm so that it sticks out in front of the knuckles instead if curling under them.
Failing to squeeze the fist on impact or otherwise having a loose first when the impact occurs.
These will all risk harming your hand in some way.
Bonus points if you have a rod of osmium or depleted uranium.
Whoa Mr Fancy Pants, tungsten or lead too good for you?? Geez, even a rod of mild steel would suffice.
Dr. Brown? I thought that the Libyans got you...
Also, your power comes from the hips. Get your hips to swing in with the arm that is punching. And aim your fist to end behind the intended target, like you are punching through them.
And your obliques, can't forget about those power houses.
Also, if you have the opportunity to take a martial art, no matter what you think your skill level or physical fitness level is, do it. I always recommend Tang Soo Do, or Soo Bahk Do.
Please also mention where the thumb should go. Not inside the fingers.
Nazi punks fuck off (is a fun song :3)
