Yes it has to be balanced, but you also have to throw it "off balance" in a controlled way, to gain actual power, by throwing your whole weight in the motion. That's how you gain actual power beyond your mere muscular force, and that's also when you run the risk of taking a counter. And I'm talking hard blows here, like hook or overhand, not a jab of course
Every strike you commit to leaves an opening. Hell, the most sublime technique is intercepting your intent before. Reading your commitment and striking the opening.
A lot of this is based on footwork and faints. Faints used to draw an attack.
I've gotten many people that way, expose myself and then slip, change angles and attack.
>Every strike you commit to leaves an opening.
There's a difference between a canyon and a ditch, let's not put again everything at the same level as if a jab was just like a overhand
A jab still leaves an opening because if I change angles to slip your jab you're already 2 steps behind. Literally.
