How do you strike with power from full mount?

hard to use hips from that position

 

[biscuitsbrah]

You’re welcome

 

[IndyCovaHart]

Not hard at all.

 

[Frode Falch]

Pick your hard shots. Lean forward with the shots you want to be hard.

So there's no kinetic linking or use of the hips its an arm punch? Or an upper body punch with gravity? (From full mount)

Thanks guys btw!

It has some hips to it, you use gravity. You lean forward, or at a slight angle. You then drop down and use your hips at a slight angle mostly core and weight displacement. Remember your punching down, not every punch has to use this principle but you can create a hard punch with this in mind. I like to elbow from mount this way, using gravity, hips & core while using a slight angle.

The fact that homeboy's head would be against the ground negates any loss in torque.

so you use your hips but no rotation

I use both hips and rotation, its hard to explain without demonstrating it irl.

kinetic linking too?

Hand control -> elbow drop.

the angle makes all the difference doesn't it, especially with the elbow.

The point of rotation is to bring your bodyweight into the strike when the body is already partially rotated away from the opponent. Rotation isn't the goal, moving your body weight towards the opponent is the goal.

So, striking from full mount relies on the same principle - getting your bodyweight moving in the same direction as the strike. From mount, that's about dropping the bodyweight towards an opponent who is lower than you. So, you need to have the bodyweight up and then drop it down. How you do that can vary from angling the body down with each strike or posturing up and then dropping the whole body down.

But whatever you choose to do, understand that the principle is the same standing or mounted - move your body in the direction of your strike.

This, assist the blow with as much weight as you can behind it as it forces more momentum into your opponent and less if absorbed by the limb. Muscles rigid only at point of contact creating a solid platform.

Straights using the elbow in tight "jackhammer method" in the greg Jackson video, but 12-6 o'clock hooks for more power on the looping punches.

Also variety in attack, work the body too don't just head hunt. Or work to lock your opponents arms down with something like the mounted straight jacket.
