First maybe you should define “power”.
Mainly through heavy weight lifting and explosive work (explosive weight training, medicine ball throws, simple jumps and plyo work)
Hitting the heavy bag and working throws on partners is also a big help in developing power

i midget toss
power comes from proper mechanics, which is why the early basic training is so important. Everyone wants to go “fast” everyone THINKS they are hitting “hard” but the reality is, GO SLOW, learn the technique properly, do the rep CORRECTLY 10,000 times and THEN the power comes
or you can toss 1000 midgets 
Did Frank jut say he’d tossed off 1000 midgets? :eek: Who’d have thought it ? 
i find arguing about lineage gives me incredible power and stamina
i channel the power of the purple grass nun
Power is the ability to do work over a period of time.
More work under same time = more power
More work over less time = more power
Same work over less time = more power
etc, etc.
First understand what you are trying to accomplish, then develop it.

Most excellent advice sir!
[QUOTE=hskwarrior;956412]or you can toss 1000 midgets :D[/QUOTE]
Just remember to, “GO SLOW, learn the technique properly, do the rep CORRECTLY 10,000 times and THEN the power comes!” Then you are ready for the midgets! I recommend working up to the 6 footers at least!
Personally I train for power by crushing my enemies and hearing the lamentation of deer vimmin!

I am striving for less work, over more time.
If I can get others to do my work for me,
That’s power.

[QUOTE=IRONMONK;956436]what do you guys think of the claim that “power hitters are born” ?[/QUOTE]
Quite correct, all can develop “power”, but those born with power well always be ahead of the curve, just like those born with speed and strength.
I was born big and have had some great instruction over the years.
Big plus trained strength is a good thing.
For years most of my teachers would look at say what the hell you need this for anyway, just kill them…
but I like martial arts…
Some people are born with “heavy hands” (or heavy feet since we can be talking about kicking). They may even be able to KO you with little, no or even WRONG technique. I know someone who kicks incorrectly but just has those “heavy feet” and KO’s people all the time…
I still think you should strive for the best technique possible

I remember my first boxing coach when he held the mitts for me,“Wow, nice power, now lets see if we can put it to some use” LOL !!
He made me hit 'softer" and focus on technique ( sound familiar) and from there the power IE: Impace force, went through the roof.
I was always naturally strong and quick too, running the 100 meter under 11 seconds when I was 16 ( with no training) and deadlifting 360lbs in less than 2 months of training with a BW of 160.
Of course God balanced it out by making me shorter than a leperchaun !! ( I’m 5-6).:mad:
