I've recently learnt about lifetraps and it's made a huge positive impact on how I view myself and my relationships

The strength behind your punch is in how you pivot your feet and twist your torso, not from your arm or fist itself.

I'm sure you're right, but I have so many questions now! Doesn't that depend on the technique I use? Like what if I neither pivot my feet nor twist my torso? What about punching in different directions, for example upwards? I've been punching the air around me for a full minute now.
