Kickboxing Punch How can you tell the pounds of pressure in your punch?
I've recently become interested in kickboxing. I want to find out the amount of pressure I can pack in a punch. How would I do this?
It's actually pretty simple, all you need is a camcorder, tree, some duct tape and a weight scale.
Step 1 - Duct tape scale to tree.
Step 2 - Roll camcorder.
Step 3 - Punch scale as hard as you can, really put your hips into it.
Step 4 - Review recording in slow-motion. Take note of where the scales lbs. readout tops out at. This should give you a pretty accurate reading of the power or your punch in pounds of pressure.
Step 5 - Go brag to your friends.
