List the theory of power
Reaction Force: For every action (force) there is an equal and opposite reaction (Newton's third law). Another reaction force is your own. A punch with the right fist is aided by pulling back the left fist to the hip
Concentration: The smaller the focal point of youer weapon the more force there will be on a given target.
Equilibrium: To have maximum power you must maintain your balance. Without balance, your power can easily be diverted. The center of balance must be on a staight line midway between the legs.
Breath Control: Controlled breathing is important for a number of reasons. It protects the body against attack and creates more power in your technique by tightening your muscles. Breath can be turned into a yell to bolster your courage and startle your apponent. It can also improve your stamina and speed.
Mass: Use sine wave and hip jerk to increase power. (the moer mass you have the more power you should be able to generate).
Speed: Speed is the most essential factor to create power.
