Not knocking you but I learned this all the way back in the 8th grade. You get a bit more wham for your strike if you do not choke up on the hammer so tight. Let the inertia do twice the work as your muscles, it's hard to relearn a bad habit, but it will help your arm in the long run.
What I'm going for during most of this video is fine control, and you get way more control when doing finer detail work, like beveling, when you choke up on the handle. Not everything is about power, my friend.
