Without the training and conditioning that boxers and martial artists go through to strengthen their punches, the average person has a much lower PSI. Most individuals’ average punching power falls between 60-170 PSI, with outliers on both ends of that range.
STRIKING ARTS
Dirty boxing is when a fighter throws short punches from the clinch position while holding the opponent’s back of the head to gain a tactical advantage. It’s called “dirty boxing” to describe a set of unorthodox boxing techniques in combat sports, which can be on the borderline of being illegal.
The term “Sweet Science” is used to describe how technical boxing is, although boxers only use their hands. Boxing teaches how to be in a tactical advantage position and read the opponent’s moves in advance by preparing with counter moves. Boxing is all about the scientific approach to combat.
Yet Boxing has started to decline while the UFC happens to be on the rise. In fact, UFC has not only seen a rise in viewership across every major demographic…but they have even gotten over numerous different divisions and even female fighting.
