They'll move and counterattack. The more forceful your punches, the easier it is for them to counter.

Ultimately, you'll realize that in the ring, it's more about technique and speed than raw power.

Distracted gaze

Many people don't even look at the bag when punching; instead, they tend to stare at the ground.

As a result, their punches become increasingly lower and lower.

Believe it or not, sometimes when I ask trainees, "Where do you look when hitting the punching bag?" they can't answer.
