I found that many kyokushin fighters use their shoulder and back muscles to punch and are usually short punches. Once you use your hips as the source of your power, you'll find that you'll take full advantage of your reach and do some serious damage. Also, kyokushin fighters don't expect that and don't know how to respond to it.

Don't know about the kyo dojos you have been to, but any half decent kyokushin instructor will explain the use of the feet, legs and hips in the sweet science of punching, IMHO.Ous
