A Letter For Oscar De La Hoya

The secret of clenching the fist: is to clench the fist just before the impact.

And to double the impact, don’t just throw punches because of trying to
reach the target, but also by putting the energy from your whole body behind
every punch of yours, especially the whole waist, which is a large axis.

And to triple the impact, use the vertical fist with the fist facing the floor
slightly down then to straighten it just before the impact.

And to gain another strength in combination attack, simple attack or

compound attack, snap your fist while moving the waist in a sudden move
before the impact. Means that the punch comes from the whole hip and the
hip also does a very sudden move just before the impact. Do a lot of Wrist
roller to increase the wrist’s strength.

In stepping to the opponent, move your hand first before the sudden move
done by your feet.

And the art of taking punches at your face is by absorbing the impact.

When the punch goes to the stomach, then exhale strongly.

Don’t brake the movement by tensing the antagonistic muscle. Contract only
the sinergetic muscle. And what I feel is that the inner forearm is an
antagonistic muscle, so relax it. While the outer one is the opposite, this is
not suppose to be tense, just contract it.

Use the art of lengthening the reach of the punching movement.

Assalamu manit taba’al huda (May peace, development and safe from guile
be upon who follow the guidance).

Assalamu'alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh (May peace, development

and safe from guile be upon who follow the guidance and blessings from
Allah and His mercy be upon you).
