Biomechanics: what the body does
A wide, low arc that travels between a hook and an uppercut. One arm often circles first to draw the eyes, then the punch rises from below the opponent’s line of sight. The hips and shoulders turn together, so the power comes from rotation rather than from the arm alone.
