Have you ever used this technique? I saw a thread in the main UFC thread about hand speed. A guy posted a video of Roy Jones throwing jabs from his hip and it reminded me of this. I'm thinking hand speed is important, but if you use a technique like this it kind of makes up for lack of speed, when you are trying to land on a quick guy. Watch the whole video it makes a lot of sense. I think this applies to kicks to. Notable examples of this technique: Roy Jones Junior and Anderson Silva (his ko of Vitor). Roy would use his right hand as a distraction while leaning in and closing the distance without his opponent realizing. He would lean straight to the opponent and then throw a straight punch from the hip. You do this by keeping your feet planted and then only leaning and step after you start to throw the punch.
