Understanding Punch Force Calculation
Key Components
1. Physical Factors
- Mass of striking arm
- Velocity of punch
- Impact duration
- Technique efficiency
2. Technical Factors
- Punch technique
- Body mechanics
- Impact angle
- Follow-through
Physics Behind the Force
The force of a punch is calculated using:
- Momentum change (mass × velocity)
- Impact time
- Technique multiplier
- Body mechanics efficiency
Punch Techniques
Straight Punch
- Direct linear force
- Efficient energy transfer
- Shortest path to target
Hook/Uppercut
- Rotational force
- Hip rotation contribution
- Increased mass involvement
Important Notes
This calculator provides estimates based on physics principles. Actual force may vary due to:
- Individual technique differences
- Physical conditioning
- Environmental factors
- Target resistance
