Build Explosive Punching Power Through Rotational Strength, Kinetic-Chain Training, and Fighter-Specific Power Development
Your fist doesn’t create punching power. It delivers it.
The complete 8-week system for fighters, athletes, and coaches who want to stop guessing and start systematically building a harder, faster, more explosive punch.

Why Getting Stronger Doesn’t Always Make You Hit Harder
You’ve put in the hours. You’ve added strength. You’ve grinded through conditioning. And somehow, your punch still doesn’t feel like it should.
Here’s the truth most training programs never explain: strength, speed, and power are not the same quality. You can be strong and still punch soft. You can move fast and still lack impact. Punching power isn’t located in one muscle, one lift, or one drill — it’s produced by a system.
If any link in that system is weak — your foot pressure, your hip timing, your torso stability, your shoulder relaxation — everything before it gets wasted.
Most fighters never find the leak. This book is built to find it, and fix it.
Introducing the Six-Link Power Chain
Every powerful punch travels through the same sequence:
Ground → Legs → Hips → Torso → Shoulder → Fist
FIGHTING SHAPE: BOXING POWER is built entirely around this chain — teaching you to produce force, transmit it without loss, and express it explosively through your fist, in that exact order.
This isn’t a bodybuilding program disguised as boxing training. It’s a purpose-built system for one outcome: usable boxing power.
WHAT’S INSIDE:
A Complete, Diagnostic-Driven Training System
🥊 The Boxing Power Leak Audit An 8-point diagnostic that identifies exactly where your power is escaping — before you waste another training cycle guessing.
🥊 The Power Development Hierarchy A seven-stage framework — Position → Force → Transmission → Speed → Timing → Integration → Repeatability — that organizes every phase of your training.
🥊 The 8-Week Power Progression A fully structured program broken into four phases: Build the Transmission, Build the Engine, Accelerate the Force, and Express Boxing Power — complete with exact sets, reps, and coaching cues.
🥊 Three Full Equipment Tracks Every workout is programmed for Full Gym, Minimal Equipment, and Home-Limited setups — so the system works no matter where you train.
🥊 The Boxing Power Assessment A baseline testing protocol that classifies your specific limitation — Force, Speed, Transmission, Stability, or Technique — so you know precisely what to prioritize.
WHO IT’S FOR:
Built to Flex to Your Goals
🔹 The Recreational Boxer — training for fitness, confidence, and a harder punch without a fight on the calendar.
🔹 The Competitive Boxer — prepping for fight camp with a program designed to build power early and preserve it through the final weeks before competition.
🔹 The Fitness-Focused Trainee — chasing the hardest-hitting conditioning system available, whether or not you ever step in the ring.
METHODOLOGY HIGHLIGHTS:
What Makes This Different
Most boxing power content stops at “hit the bag harder” or “lift heavier.” This book goes further:
- Hip-to-Shoulder Separation — the hidden multiplier elite rotational athletes use, and how to train it safely
- Dynamic Stiffness — the real relationship between relaxation and impact, and why staying tense actually slows your punch
- Deceleration Training — the forgotten half of power: controlling force, not just producing it
- Kinetic-Chain Sequencing — ground initiates, hips accelerate, torso transfers, shoulder follows, arm delivers — trained as one connected movement, not isolated parts
PROGRAM STRUCTURE PREVIEW:
The 8-Week Power Progression at a Glance
Phase | Weeks | Focus |
Phase 1 | 1–2 | Build the Transmission — movement quality, ground connection, sequencing |
Phase 2 | 3–4 | Build the Engine — strength, rotational power, controlled ballistics |
Phase 3 | 5–6 | Accelerate the Force — rate of force development, explosive conversion |
Phase 4 | 7–8 | Express Boxing Power — bag integration, shadowboxing, peak testing |
About Dominic Paris
Dominic Paris is a Fitness and Conditioning Coach with over 25 years of experience training athletes, executives, and high performers. His work centers on translating complex physical performance concepts — like force production, kinetic-chain sequencing, and rotational power — into systems that any dedicated trainee can apply, regardless of their starting point or available equipment.
FIGHTING SHAPE: BOXING POWER distills over two decades of coaching into a single, structured methodology built around two original frameworks: the Six-Link Power Chain and the Power Development Hierarchy.
FAQ:
Do I need a full gym to follow this program? No. Every workout includes three equipment tracks — Full Gym, Minimal Equipment, and Home-Limited — so you can train anywhere.
Is this only for competitive boxers? No. The program is built to flex for recreational boxers, competitive fighters, and fitness-focused trainees alike, with example schedules for each.
How much time does the program require? Two focused power sessions per week outside of fight camp — designed to fit alongside your existing boxing, strength, or conditioning training, not replace it.
Do I need boxing experience to use this book? No prior boxing background is required. The physical qualities trained in this book — ground force, hip rotation, torso transfer — benefit any athlete pursuing explosive, rotational power.
