One of the things that consistently surprises me while teaching is how even adults don’t know how to throw a punch. Sometimes it’s movie-style, camera-friendly punches, sometimes it’s just an attempt to throw a fist forward, but if they’re inexperienced it’s always sloppy (to be fair, mine probably were so many years ago, too). I really enjoy giving them a few corrections, then letting them hit the pad again and watching the lightbulb go off when they feel the difference in their power.
