Don't Start
Punch Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Desire to finish what is started, so it just never gets off the ground. Is this stubborn circle a good way not to fail, or just a means of trickery? Pressure coming from outside and within. Is it real or imagined? Just don’t even start.

Overall Meaning

In Punch's song Don't Start, the lyrics speak to the conflicting emotions and pressures that can arise when faced with the possibility of starting something new. The desire to be successful and finish what is started can lead to a stubborn circle where one feels the need to constantly be doing something, but at the same time, the fear of failure can prevent anything from actually getting off the ground. The question posed in the lyrics is whether this cycle is a way to avoid failure, or if it's just a form of self-deception. The pressure to succeed can come from both external factors and within oneself, making it difficult to discern what is real and what is imagined. The ultimate resolution in the song is to simply not start at all, which can be seen as a way to avoid potential failure but also a missed opportunity for growth and progress.

Line by Line Meaning

Desire to finish what is started, so it just never gets off the ground.
The fear of failing is so strong that the person prefers to not even try, resulting in nothing ever coming to fruition.

Is this stubborn circle a good way not to fail, or just a means of trickery?
The person questions whether their avoidance of starting things is a wise self-preservation mechanism or simply a way of deceiving themselves.

Pressure coming from outside and within.
The individual is feeling pressure from both external and internal forces.

Is it real or imagined?
The person is unsure whether the pressure they're experiencing is tangible or just imagined in their mind.

Just don’t even start.
The ultimate decision is to not start anything at all due to these fears and pressures.

This is a very good insight into the mechanics of movements, really for all too often we focus on the "big" things such as contraction & tensing but we rarely focus on the "small" things e.g. core muscle stremgth or in this case T-spine flexibility. That actually make a huge difference in the efficacy of our execution. Kudos!

Heinriz Liya Putra

It is said by a Ba Ji Quan Sifu, a punch is already started when the hand besides the waist (to launch a punch). Shall the opponent close the distance to you, if you master stances fluidly, your stances might lead to easy-shift to other attack such as attack with shoulders or elbow or a take down. That's why it is important to consider to practice the preparation (initial position) and deliverence until end point when launching an attack, not just considering the end point. Because if you only considering the end point, when your opponent change his position, those end point will give him opening and might be disadvantage for you as it will lack of power.

I also found the same principle from some Okinawan Karate I recognize such as Uechi Ryu and Goju Ryu. Not sure with other style.

Note: Ba Ji Quan is one of Chinesse martial art, translated to roughly "eight extreme fist" (also means 8 directional fist to emphasis it's explosiveness), quite popular in Japan, Sensei Tatsuya Naka also did some exchange knowledge with Ba Ji Quan master in Japan.

I'd say a punch starts in the feet. You must have a base to "throw" from. And you generate power starting in the feet from the ground.

Rickster Drummer

The feet directs the force. The spine is what generates it.

Florent Couturier

3y↑2

That would explain why the T-Spine ondulation technique is taught later in karate. For first build the fondation of stability (and the emphasis on the form first to have a breakthrought toward more mobility and kime.) I'm still waiting to have a book on the biomecanics of karate. Does someone know one ?

محمد الكناني

Excellent efforts on your part. You are always distinguished in your choice and in the topics presented, in addition to the professional people you choose. I wish you success. You are a legend

Nile Dunn

Good video Jesse, good to refresh my knowledge on bio mechanics. This also applies to throws and kicks

Daniel Ordoñez

3y↑1

Very instructive. Thank you. I think the stabilizer/mobilizer is relative for the movement though. For example in boxing, while avoining punches to the sides, the hips work as a stabilizer, that will switch the whole scheme, being everything from the hips under a stabilizer. Furthermore, there are two kinds of joits, ankles and shoulders work 360 degrees, knees and elbows roughly 180 and unidirectional. Hips are like the first( ankles and shoulders), like direction free(a ball)probably a little more limited backwards. The spine is another story, where the main roles are taken by the muscles: abbs and "lumbs" lift the whole like a hanging bridge. So its good to have balance there and not just support your back with "lumbs"(sorry the ignorance). Which will stress it and since there's a nervous center there it will be neural pain and not muscular pain( after the lactic acid thing). Muscular pain being positive and neural pain being negative(injury). Moving up, the same hanging bridge principle applyes for head and arms.
(Had to correct some spelling)

Watched this video multiple times already and learned so much.

Really loved your Ohan Dai tutorial, can you do a similar tutorial to the Okinawan version of Anan?

Naraku1987

Always good lessons from Dr. Lucio. Nice KU rash guard. Personally still feel that the best way to teach beginners is to punch from the floor/ feet. Hips are way to over-cued. Without the power transfer from the floor and a stiff core it's impossible to transfer any real amount of power to the fist.

Love the helpful exercise recommendations at the end! Thank you 🙏🏽

I have scoliosis in my upper spine and cant help but feel it’s restricting my martial arts a little when it comes to stances. And fast movements.

Really good analysis on things when where punching and kicking starts but ultimately power comes from the waist like the g.o.a.t legendary Bruce Lee said from the waist of course the whole focus should be on the annihilation of your target or targets this is a good analysis on the study on how the structuring of human bodies work well done as always very informative and always fight on 👊👍

When I studied Shotokan Karate (I had to stop because of health issues), our teacher kept saying that the focal point was always the hips for both kicks and punches, and that movement had to be developed with your entire body, either to strengthen or to stabilize.

Jesse Enkamp

The hip is the primary mechanism through which acceleration reaches its potential 👍

Rai Cruz

Funny how you can learn 3 or more things in less than 4min and it’s available forever. Awesome content! Thanks!

Adriano Ribeiro

Jesse, how to improve the “Ju” and be less “Go”? I really have a problem on letting de movement flow freely and cannot contract only at the end. Is there any content about this part? I feel is also a metaphor for life. That’s what inspires me so much about Goju Ryu and Karate itself. Thanks for you amazing work. 🙇🏻‍♂️

This is why it's important to do exercises like power clean, clean and jerk, and hang cleans an dead lifts when practicing karate. It's helps you generate alot of power by specifically strenghthing the tspine, lumbar and hips

vagabond

Properly made 'hand kick' allways comes from the heel. It travels through knees and heeps.Trust me. When it was demonstrated on me. I was flying 2meters high and 3meters back. And I had my rib broken. Sensei had open hand on my chest. And only thing he did is the one small litlle snatch from his heel. So. Next thing. Me. In the air. It was properly made kick demonstration

Duccio Cinquini

Hi Jesse, great video! (Plus, dr. Maurino is a connational of mine 😀) I'd like to give a suggestion for a future video... could you cover the kaisai theory (kaisai no genri) for kata bunkai? Thank you, good day!

Mr. Thomas

Videos like this show there's more than one way to throw a punch, very useful information on body mechanics as well.

Jeffrey Hotchkiss

These areas appear to be where Sanchin kata builds strength and resilience. Those two simple breathing exercises really look worth trying, too.

Daniel Haire

While Dr. Maurino is correct that PHYSICALLY a punch starts from the thoracic, I would say that it actually begins mentally when the mind recognizes the input from the senses and decides upon the target either consciously or subconsciously. Then it tells the body to begin all the movements that were talked about in this video.

Punch extension concept is similar to Wing Chun one inch punch metality, namely, one should imagine punching through the target, not just focusing on the contact point.

Atae Mekkiat

In kickboxing n boxing the punch start from rotating the leg n the hips to the shoulder the punch.
It gives more speed n more distance comparing to a classic karate punch

Josh Crank

Are there exercises to build this compression into muscle memorie?

Fire Outrageous

Well i do boxing but in my opinion or what i have learned is the punch is generate by the spine like he said but if we want to increase more power we'd use our leg and twist or move our hips to increase more power.

Arigatou gozaimasu, Jesse-san!!! I think this explain some points about the forgotten "Line of Might"...

Robert Min

Hi Jesse, this is an interesting analysis of the bio mechanics of the body during a punch. However, I believe the vertical punch that Wing Chun does, and Bruce lee did with his 1 inch punch is another great perspective because it uses the body's energy coming from weight, hips, but mainly the lat muscles and core, and less shoulder or not much shoulder. Also the hit comes from the bottom fingers which which seem to be stiffer than the forefinger and second squeeze.

Jari Norvanto

3y↑1

Extending ten meters beyond reach... Or 'hitting through the target', as i recognize from systema. Takes some practice so as not to destroy your elbow? I guess the hazard of overextending the elbow is why striking with a baton should be done in a circular motion rather than a straight. Another reason would be to come back in a 'loaded position' after delivering a blow, in order to hit again.

Obi wan said it best to Luke Skywalker, strecth yours feelings. Sijo Lee said it in Enter the Dragon, "Feel, dont think." True content is never enough feel the punch as to stretch all of weight of your own body mass into one single relaxed motion and end with a devastating quick whips. In short use all necessary in one relaxed and, Wapah flow from. -OAM. Thank you Mr. Enkamp you do remind me basics are the essence of what is the pure core of Martial thinking and living.

Good explanation on extension of shoulder

johnny elkins

Question would this be any different with a person that has a curved spine? just asking for a myself as i need to practice more on breathing techniques especially ones that can give your punch more power unless it won't work for me. Then its back to the search engine to look for how to increase power in punches for a curved spine
