I have yet to read about the full technique of a proper punch. I read about friction, snapping the punch, etc.
We are taught that while kicking, one must twist the knee in order to experience full strength and also prevent injury to the static knee.
However, one must consider that POWER comes from our CORE (or hips) and that if you use your hips in your strikes, you will definitely experience a lot of more with less effort.
It's like a whip really.
So, the initial strength must originate from the core. As you twist your hips, the rest of the body follows and you'll find that you transfer more weight (hence power) when you deliver the strike which is devastating.
I'll finish my comment by saying: looking at how Kyokushin fighters punch compared to boxers or kickboxers and see if you can detect that tiny difference in technique that makes a huge difference in a fight.
