Learning how to punch is one thing. Learning how to land punches is another. Want to land more punches?
Whether you're sparring or in a real fight, there's one bad habit that will keep you from landing punches-leaning.
I call it "Riding the See Saw" because people rock back and forth when they punch and kick. It shows up three different ways...
See Saw #1: Leaning forward when you punch.
This is a huge mistake for many reasons. First, you’re offering your head to the bad guy on a silver platter.
Second, you’re opening up your low line to punches, kicks, and takedowns.
Third, you’re setting yourself up for being snapped down or pulled off balance.
But it's the fourth problem that will keep you from landing punches. When you lean forward, your weight gets stuck on your front foot.
So, even if you connect with your first punch, you’re not in position to follow up! To throw another punch, you either have to fall forward or you pull back into your stance and start over.
The answer to this problem? Stay in your stance and use your footwork to drive in-don't be lazy. When you stay in your stance, you're not only protecting yourself, you’re on balance and in position to keep throwing flurries of punches.
See Saw #2: Leaning backwards when you punch.
No, I’m not talking about fading and snapping back on purpose. I’m talking about holding your head back while throwing your hand forward. What's the problem with that?
First, you shorten your reach. Second, you reduce your power. Your arm is going one way, your body the other.
To be frank, leaning forward and backward during a fight is a tough habit to break, because it’s usually rooted in fear... either the fear of committing your body into the fight or the fear of being hit in the face.
How do I know?
Watch people hit the mitts or a heavy bag and, unless they’re being lazy, they typically stay in their stance and practice good form. But once punches start flying during sparring or self-defense drills, fear holds back the hips and tips back the head. In short-
No one leans back when no one’s hitting back.
See Saw #3: Leaning back when you throw kicks.
This one is tricky because some martial artists deliberately lean back to counter-balance their raised leg. They See Saw on purpose!
Some folks even drop their head to the ground so they can even kick straight up over their head, which is a great move if you’re ever being attacked by a barn owl.
But here’s the thing-if you want to land punches, it's best to keep your hands in punching range. When you lean back to counter-balance a kick, you take your hands out of punching range.
Leaning back adds a beat into the timing of your follow-up punches after a kick. Instead of KICK PUNCH PUNCH, you end up throwing KICK beat PUNCH PUNCH. That beat is the time it takes to get back into your stance to throw punches.
Now, that little beat may not seem like a big deal, but believe me-it's everything! Against a good fighter, one little beat is all the time he or she needs to play their trump card.
The fix? Stay in your stance. Crunch down when you kick and keep your hands in punching range at all times.
So, get off the See Saw and stop leaning. I guarantee you’ll throw better punches, get hit less, and land more punches than ever before.

good advice - do not give head to the bad guy
Ha! Exactly!
Am I immature or was it suppose to sound like that?
Thaddeus Sampsel lmao ikr
i thought he was referencing a self defense video where the instructor tells you to put your attacker in your mouth and bite him off, but no
so can you hit the bad guy with ya head ?
this guy is a good instructor
James Moore Thank you very much, sir!
@Nathaniel Regan that's why everyone in the UFC never uses any techniques.
Very true
@@AndoMierzwa what if you have less reach than larger opponent? What will possibly work for contact?

I just feel sorry for Uncle Bob.
Ha! Well, he started it! :)
Ando Mierzwa haha
And here you are watching this video tryna find out how to throw more punches lol
ASKING FOT LIKES WHEN YOU LEAVE UNFOLDING PARAGRAPH
Happy Holidays! 😂
I just had my first sparring session last week and now I get why people say heavy bags don't hit back 😂 landing punches on a object that also wants to hit you is harder then it seems lol!
Ha! Welcome to the suck! 😄
Didn't Bruce Lee used to say that when they strike is your chance to strike back? Like when they throw a punch, take out their elbow on their attacking arm or something like that.
The 'film yourself' tip is the best thing I've heard so far. Thanks!
Absolutely. I watch myself... get sickened... then delete all the time! :)
***** hahaha! Your tips are very useful. Keep it up man
You got it! Happy training!
Man, this guy is dedicated to his fans, he's responded to 90% of all the top comments
I try! 😁
You make me less scared to get into real fights now
Thanks! Knowledge is power! Knowledge and practice is even better! :)
𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧
Kinda makes me more scared given it's showing me just how Much I don't know
the fact that you keep replying to comments is amazing
Seems like the friendly thing to do! 😁🙏🏻
Your knowledge is solid, I've never even thought about these things before but it makes sense.
+Goldie Wihongi That's a great compliment. Thank you!
very nice advice, much much appreciated
You're welcome!
I laughed and cringed when he said it.. I was like, really? That's actually a thing people do? xD
Admit it-- you want to land more punches. We ALL do!
Well, here's a tip to help you land more punches during sparring or while defending yourself in a real fight.
Take a look and get punching! :)

Wait doesnt Floyd Mayweather lean back all the time?
Hannibal Bastian Sure! But not as a strategy to land more punches in an offensive combo or to land more powerful punches. As a defensive strategy or in counter-punching, leaning absolutely has its place. Until, like Anderson Silva, you run out of room to lean back!
Hannibal Bastian thts boxibg dude a simple thai kick or any kick really and he"ll (respect the kicks) as they say if bot keep kicking he wont stand the pain of your shin much longer
jared simich
Thanks for your comment, Jared.
+Ando Mierzwa I know it's a very old video. But I got to ask. When I was training karate, it was damn near impossible to get a punch in, because kicking is more effective. A leg can reach further than a punch. A kick has more force than a punch. So unless you are very flexible and training yoga, then how do you want to kick somebody in the chest if you don't lean back a little? Also, you shouldn't need more than one well-placed kick to set your opponent out of the fight. You might open yourself up by leaning back, but I only see the problem if you are fighting multiple opponents, since if you are fighting only one, then most guys goes down if they get a foot in their solar plexus, but most people needs to lean back a little to place a kick that high. I mean there must also be a reason for why so many systems teaches the lean-back stance. Karate, muay thai, taekwondo, kickboxing, kung-fu..
The only time I lean in training, sparring or in a tournament is if I quickly dodge a punch or kick that I don’t have time to step away from.
Keep fading! 👍🏼
Helped me in kickboxing sparring :)
Awesome!
I simply love it when someone who knows what they're talking about shares their knowledge with the rest of us. Thank you Sensei Ando for making this video, and sharing it. I love the point about counterbalancing just after the 5 minute mark. It's something beginners just naturally seem drawn to.
I am humbled by your kind words, sir. Thank you sincerely. More to come!
dude, i love that you incorporate humor into it
This man shares some excellent advice. I noticed during one of my classes when we were practicing our forms that I was leaning in and punching; as well as during sparing.
Glad you caught yourself! Keep up the good work!
Sensei Ando you have some serious wisdom going on here. I remember purchasing a master text from renown Karate martial artist Dan Anderson that had a section talking about the importance of Karate postural alignment in all effective techniques. Thanks for shedding light on such a scarce topic in the martial arts. OSU!
Thanks for the comment, Michael! Yes, the older I get, the more I appreciate the most basic of principles... and alignment is one of them. Happy training! OSU!
It's very great of you to read all the comments and also reply to them, you just earned a loyal follower. Keep up the good work, I hope i had gone for some karate lessons
Thank you for being here, sir!
All videos are very helpful sensei! Thank you
I’m happy to hear that! Thank you!
Thank you, that was a great advice. Definitely trying this out next time
Awesome, Lisa! Hope it helps! 👊🏼
Great tips! Never considered this before. Thanks.
Awesome! Thanks for saying so, Jeff!
Great channel, m8, I joined the gym last year, and have been novicing around a bit, started working out more properly about 3 months ago. Decided to start punching now, and found your channel. Awesome stuff meng, really great. I hope to use your tips to improve my body and life. You got my sub.
+Fetus Sexytime Honored to have you here, sir. Or "meng"! :)
I like that you take the time to respond and read everyones comments. It shows how committed you are to your fans!
I try! Thank you for being here!
Ando Mierzwa 👍
That's why you twist your hips to put more power into your punches.
I do that too
I spar with my friend Tom at school he always wins but I'm learning 🤓
That’s the idea! Keep learning!
Is he bigger than you?
Ando, thank you so much for posting all of these videos!
Very glad you like them, Mitchell! Thank you for the comments!
Great advice, thanks for sharing
+Declan Silvine You're welcome! Thanks, Declan!
I like your videos sir, these tips are handy for any type of martial art. :)
+Luis Hernández Great-- that was the idea! Thanks for letting me know I'm on the right track, sir.
Just scream ora-ora constantly it helps trust me
Muda-Muda helps as well
Or dorarararara
or ariariariariari
just choose whatever stand cry you want
You're officially the best instructor ever
HA! 😄 And that’s officially the best comment ever!
You are not just a fighting Master you also are a life couch. Damn you know how to make someone feel like they can do what they want by implying themselves. Thanks Sensei Ando. ✊
Strong spirit, strong mind, strong body. It all goes together. Thank you for the kind words, sir!
Karate is shi# pepper spray works best.
this really helped me
That makes my day! Thanks!
your welcome
I put subtitles on and when he said happy holidays uncle bob, it said happy holidays Obama?!?! :D
+Thunder Storm What? No way! Maybe I should take a closer look at my family tree. :)
And when you said practice breathing it said practice breeding
+Poke Man Well, that's a whole different kind of video!

Poke Man got to practice😂
Sir, you are an amazing instructor! I'm Glad that I found your channel!
I’m glad you found the channel, too! Thanks for being here.🙏🏻
Discovering your videos at the moment. Interesting content and the bit of humor is just perfect! Enjoy training!
Thank you for the comment, sir! Happy training to you as well! :)
Great video, I teach Muay Thai so our kicks are different but I took some knowledge away from this as we have a fighter (green) trying to break his flinching
Awesome! We all have more in common than we think. Thank you, sir!
Thank you!! I tend to lean a bit when 'bursting' into the punch in Krav Maga, if I'm getting tired or concentrating too much on another part. I hadn't thought of it as an important issue until now. Something to focus on next time. Your videos are wonderful, and make the whole thing less intimidating.
... And I REALLY felt the Uncle Bob part - if my grandad 'disapproves' of a girl boxing one more time, he'll get to see what I've been learning...
Ha! Watch out granddad! 🥊 😄
Just came across your channel and I just wanted to let you know that I've really been enjoying your videos. Thanks for all the tips!
+Frank Wagner Thanks very much, Frank! More coming! Happy training!
Thank you for the great lesson sensei!
Thank you very much!
When I took Kenpo, I would catch myself leaning all the time. inevitably, I broke my arm because of it, my sparring partner didn't even mean to do it. But, it goes to show how easy it is to lose your balance and power from see-sawing.
I fixed it by just following through with my punches and kicks. Imagine you are punching through the target, rather than at it. It gives a lot more power to your strike.
Great lesson there. Thank you for sharing, sir!
Would leaning be useful to sway and avoid punches then move/shuffle forward in stance to punch and do a combo
Sure! Leaning with purpose can be very useful. It’s leaning out of fear or as a involuntary reaction that can get you in trouble!
Great video. But what's better is the detailed description totally answered my questions.
+0o0o0o0 Awesome. Thanks for the feedback!
Your videos are great,they really helped me
Awesome! Thank you for letting me know!
WAAM BAAM BOOM
how about punch-punch-kick. this way it doesn't really matter leaning or not.
AND the first few punch also a perfect set up for a kick. start with punch and when the enemy step back or lean back to get out of punching range we throw the kick.
Absolutely, Gabriel! Setting up a kick with punches is a fundamental skill. Of course, if you're leaning on the set-up, the kick will suffer! Thanks for the tip!
Keep up the good work learning loads from your videos
Awesome. I really appreciate that!
I love how he still replies to comments after years, what a legend
I try! Thanks for being here! 😁
4:03 well there go‘s my life plans
HA! 😄
Is it possibly to instinctively jerk your head back even if you don't feel the fear?
+madjack821 I'd say yes. Flinching doesn't have to be emotional.
madjack821 of coarse
I loved that uncle Bob joke.Great video!
Ha! We all have one. Thanks!
Very humble and wise with a touch of dark humor💀 I love it. Keep it up sensei Ando! 🥋✊
Ha! Yes, the world is a swirl of light and darkness. ☯️ Thank you for the kind words! 🙏🏻
All of this is great... But what pose do we take if he/she has a gun?
400 meter sprint position. :)
lot of puches less the powers. thats the truth.
take off not one person can take on a gun
Move to the uk
Sound advice on punching. But that bit you said about not leaning during a kick - I don't 100% agree on that. I'll explain. If done for the wrong reason like fear or lack of flex/balance it's bad. If it's done so to keep your center of mass over your contact point with the ground then it's a tool to make the kicks much faster. If you can expand instead of having to locomote, you can throw it a lot faster. I used to spare with people who would absolutely smoke me with their kicks and they showed me how to do it. You just have to get used to the hit-or-miss factor so a high hung heavy bag should be used to train it.
That's a great point, Max. I not only agree, I'll take it a step further.... anything you do on purpose is okay. Anything you do without being aware of it? That's trouble. That's because every choice has a pro and a con. Weighing those pros and cons and making a decision is how you create your art. So, lean away! I lean sometimes, too. But I do it on purpose and I know what I'm giving up in the trade. Thanks for bringing that up! A very helpful comment, sir!
+Ando Mierzwa Awesome! Glad you can see my point. I'm a speed freak! I'm currently studying extremes of the human body in the area of speed and reflexes. It feels like we can go much faster than most people think.
+Max C I wish there was an easier way to measure speed. I always think I'm figuring out a way to move faster, but can't prove it! Good luck!
Bill "Superfoot" Wallace seems to have figured the speed thing out, at least when he was younger for his one good leg!
Ha! He sure did. And even with hip implants, he's still faster than I am! :)
Freakin love your vids man. Great content. Great instructions.
That makes my day, sir. Thank you!
hello I got into boxing and katana wielding recently and decided to finally get some tips. I came across your videos and has been watching ever since.

Thanks alot for this video. You described exactly my problem during sparring and that's the fear of getting hit. I always felt like a coward but now I know I should get hit more often.
You're not a coward. Most people don't want to get hit! I bet if you were fighting for a reason, and not just sparring, you wouldn't worry at all!
Great advice thanks!
Thank you for watching!
I love Ando. He's hilarious!
Thank you very much! 😁
