Synopsis

The rear hand straight punch (also known as a cross punch) is arguably the most important technique utilised in combat sports. Therefore, in the current era where such a large emphasis is placed on maintaining an undefeated record, it is absolutely vital to fully optimise this technique. This article will explore the key kinematic and kinetic contributors of the rear hand straight punch, with the aim of providing coaches and athletes with the biomechanical understanding required to help develop peak punching performance.
