Technique of the Week: John Wayne Parr shows how to maximize uppercut power

Kickboxing and Muay Thai legend John Wayne Parr demonstrates how to maximize your uppercut power, in Submission Radio's "Technique of the Week".

10-time Muay Thai world champion, John Wayne Parr returns for his final edition of Submission Radio's "Technique of the Week".

In the video above, Parr demonstrates the difference between throwing 'arm punches' and actually adding power to your uppercuts. The lead uppercut is also followed by a powerful straight right, both of which hold the intention of knocking your opponent out.

Parr is a multiple-time world champion in both Muay Thai and Kickboxing. In 2013, he intended on trying out for the 'Australia vs Canada' season of The Ultimate Fighter, however without the necessary minimum of five MMA bouts on his resume, he was not eligible to compete.
