There are a number of ways to explain this concept. In the following video, self-defense expert Richard Ryan gives you the explanation he uses with his students. When you understand this concept and practice it, you will be able to generate a lot of force even in very close range.<!--more-->\n\n[dfads params='groups=292&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']\n<div class=\"flex-video\" style=\"float:none!important;margin: 0, 0, 1rem, 0!important\">\n  <iframe width=\"1365\" height=\"947\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/J3z-WBtxtgg\" style=\"border:0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-10 medium-centered large-6 large-centered columns\">\n\t[dfads params='groups=290&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']<\/div>\n<h4>Breaking It Down<\/h4>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-6 large-4 columns right align-to-p img\">\n  <img src=\"https:\/\/www.fightfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/close-range1.png\" width=\"100%\"><\/div>\nAs you saw in the video above, the key to this technique is moving your body explosively (even if it is a very short distance) in the direction of the target.\n\nWith your body moving explosively in the direction of the attacker, you now throw your punch, elbow, headbutt, or nearly any other technique and will be able to cause much more damage. With this technique, a close range punch turns into a battering ram that nobody will expect.\n\nTo top it off, you don\u2019t have to be large to make this work. In fact, a 110 pound woman can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightfast.com\/ar\/SM-k.php?utm_campaign=SMALL&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=RichardSecret_4-30-14&amp;utm_term=existing-list\">easily knock out a larger man<\/a> using this technique.\n\nWhen you learn to use your body weight in striking, all your techniques will be amplified, and when you learn to develop power even in close range, you will become a very dangerous person.\n\nMost attackers, especially big guys, rely on mass transfer while standing up straight and in punching distance. They often don\u2019t know what to do when you get in close, this is where those who understand this principle gain a serious advantage.\n<p id=\"read-more-link\">\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightfast.com\/ar\/VSF-k.php?utm_campaign=VCFHT&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=RichardSecret_4-30-14&amp;utm_term=existing-list\">Click here for more brutal techniques by Richard Ryan!<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Physics of Striking Most people have heard someone say they need to \u201cthrow their weight\u201d into a punch or strike, but few people truly understand how to do this.
