I’m sure you’re right, but I have so many questions now! Doesn’t that depend on the technique I use? Like what if I neither pivot my feet nor twist my torso? What about punching in different directions, for example upwards? I’ve been punching the air around me for a full minute now.
They explain the physics of it pretty well here, I think https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LNfAwWk33nI&t=1m25s
It’s partially but not entirely true. Having correct technique in your upper body matters too, as does accuracy, timing and the ability to create collisions.
All else being equal in terms of technical skill and leg strength, the guy with the bigger arms, fists as shoulders will have a stronger punch.
I had a ton of muscular atrophy in my right upper body due to a bulging disk in my neck --since corrected by surgery-- and I definitely noticed a huge diminution in my striking power, as did my regular sparring partners at the gym. So it definitely does matter.
I’m doing better now, but still not back to 100 percent and probably never will be. But that’s OK since I’m pretty old anyway.
