When Chuck Liddell isn’t ballroom dancing or winning UFC fights, he manages to make time to teach others how to fight just as effectively as he does.
If you thought you knew how to punch, think again. Chuck schools some of his students in this video and nearly breaks a kid’s arm.
When you watch UFC matches, it’s easy to forget the brute strength behind all of the moves. Why Chuck could have so many quick knock-outs always baffled me; weren’t the other guys punching just as hard? Apparently not.
Rather than using your arm muscles and punching straight out, putting a pivot and using your whole body can produce a much stronger effect. Sure, it’s a little “weird” (as Chuck describes), but it’s the difference between a winning and losing a fight.
