What muscle groups help you punch harder?

Short answer; back. Long answer; Punching power is about using your whole body in a correctly chained sequence. You need to synchronize muscle groups to maximize power. Strong legs will help you drive off the ground and initiate an explosive pivot and weight transfer. A strong core will carry that energy as you titrate your trunk. A strong back will pull you into the target as you continue to pivot. A strong chest and shoulders will transmit that energy as you push into the target. The key is relaxation and synchronization. You can lift all the weight in the world and without the proper synchronization you ain't be maximizing on the power you can deliver.

I actually wonder if weightlifting is counter to martial arts muscle engagement. In bodybuilding time under tension is a valuable tool. As such you want to feel every muscle and tax it as hard as possible. On the other hand in martial arts you want to be as relaxed as possible and only use your muscles at right time. That said I lift weights and train martial arts and I think my weight lifting has only enhanced my ability to mover with power.

Anecdotally, I recall seeing a study where punching power was analyzed and fighters with bigger backs were said to generate more power. I can't recall the source. I read to much lol.

Martial Arts community is about unity.

It's not just about training within our own; it's about coming together with others who share the same devoted passion. I love the camaraderie that comes from training with different disciplines.

Together, we inspire and challenge each other to grow both as budo brothers & sisters. 🙏

How would real martial artists fare in MMA?

In early UFC days, lots of “traditional” marital artists entered. Karate, taekwondo, Kung-fu, sumo, judo, jiu-jitsu, and of course boxing, kick boxing and wrestling.

Basically wrestlers and jiujitsu practitioners crushed everyone at first.

More well known marital arts did not stand up well to wrestlers who could take them to the ground. The exception was Jiujitsu- which excels on the ground is basically a combat form of wrestling.

Early years of UFC, most winners were either wrestlers or jiujitsu fighters.

Then rules changed a bit (no headbutts to the face of a downed opponent, no stomping a downed opponent, rounds, judges and time limits) and kickboxers with some basic grappling defensive skills started to do well also.

These kickboxers used striking to dominate fights, but also cross trained in early MMA skills- wrestling and submissions, but mostly how to avoid takedowns, escape holds, stand up and return to striking position if they ended up on the ground.

Sometimes they would learn how to stall and avoid damage until a ref would start the fight from the feet again.

Good examples are Maurice Smith and Chuck Liddell. Both awesome strikers who learned to be very effective at defending against superior wrestlers.

Eventually a new form of Martial art (MMA) took shape which combines skills from Wrestling, jiujitsu, kickboxing and boxing. Some karate and taekwondo is also shown in some fighters styles as well.

Well known fighters like Machida, McGregor, Roy Nelson, all have backgrounds in traditional martial arts. But all train for MMA fights.

Basically, most traditional martial artists did not do well (even some world champions) in MMA, unless they cross train in a host of other styles.

Trust your energy, let your thoughts flow freely. Don’t succumb to negative thoughts, over power them with the positives. No matter what your obstacles are you will overcome them all.
