A powerful jab uses your full reaching distance, while you roll your shoulder inwards toward your body, also keeping your arm tight to your chin.

A strong hook comes from the hips, rotating them towards your target while also using your back foot for balance, and keeping your arm and elbow parallel to the ground.

The uppercut is a commonly misunderstood strike. All the power from the uppercut comes from squatting down and exploding up with your legs while keeping your fist tight to your chin.

A roundhouse kick is very complex. To have a powerful roundhouse kick you must angle your front foot away from your target, swing your leg and rotate your hips, dropping your body and pulling your hand down in the process.

Clinch work is very painful, it involves placing your hands one over the other on the back of your partners neck, and locking your elbows together in front of them. This allows you to pull them in any direction you want while throwing knees into their ribcage.

Using reach is very important in sparring. When facing a smaller opponent with less reach than you it is important to be constantly using your reach to keep them back. Even if the punches don't land it won't allow them to get close enough to hit you.
