I read that twice and i still doesn't get what is this shoulder pop punch thing he is talking about. Only hypothetical situations where it can be apply....

Watching, self practice, and lots of distance-mentoring from Sinister, aka Luis Monda. That's him the video, by the way.
I'm trying to make the switch to boxing currently, as well.
Except remove the snap from the shoulder.
Speed is great, but I think it has very little to do with the shoulder. I'd say that a punch with a low elbow and no shoulder movement is much harder to see coming, but hey. :wink:
This is all foreign talk for me. Shoulder pop? I think I need to go back to basics, e.g. learning how to throw a proper jab and cross.
So by shoulder pop do you just mean a less-committed punch to set up a harder one? An arm punch, more or less? I don't see Rigo lifting his shoulders much in that video. He's got pretty excellent posture.
lol apizur thanks for explaining it in real english. obviously your first language. i have to resort to poor anedcotes and examples. shouldn't be that hard to understand though......
boxed since i was 14-15.. im 24 now. and yes we agree because you have competed and knows what works and doesnt, and you understand what i mean.
Hah! Inexperience isn't the reason I didn't understand. Your phrasing was confusing, and your explanations more so.
i never say you're inexperienced, i don't even know anything about your experience other than that you are an author and love martial arts.
but my explanations arent that confusing imo, since the video provided the visuals.
