Proper punch form

[se11]

I am not a boxer or fighter, but I am getting interested in it. I was just wondering if their was any proper form for punches. Like if a target is directly in front of you, what type of form and from what direction, do you procede to punch?

jesus, i'm at a gasp for words - you've basically just asked us to type out the entire basics of boxing

well i can't really type out the proper punching form, it's really a both a science and an art, just make sure your using your back, keeping your guard up, and don't lose your balance

have you ever heard the term.. punch through the target.. that is about 6-8" past the point of impact... rotate the hips. lean in..

don't miss......

As cheesey as it may sound to those that haven't read it, Tao of Jeet Kune Do has probably the best explanation/philosophy of striking I've ever heard/read

You guys heard of the old philosophy "...you must first understand, it is like one hand clapping...." that to some who understand is all there is to know about punching....
