So if a person talk about boxing like striking power but not train what boxer trained fundamentals like skipping rope,
You can tell by the obvious defect in the frame when they strike or footwork. That is not to say he is no good fighter, just not perfect in terms of boxing style striking.
Skipping is one of the best way to maintain and preserve dexterity of feet. It also stimulate the distal nerve to wake our system up.

Isn't it? I saw some "tai chi" people in sanda competitions jumping around. Not my cup of tea. I didn't see much Tai Chi at all. Or any at all.
What I meant, and what I actually said, is that boxing footwork is not necessary for good punching power. He generalises the issue a little and, believe it or not, but there are in fact many different ways to generate good punching power. I don't doubt that skipping rope is excellent general practice.

The reason is to force you to weight shift(or drop step). That is to force you use your weight to propel the rope, regardless of the direction.
Once you memorize the feeling then you move on to light rope for speed.
Is there weight shift principle in Xingyi? Of course. But it also emphasizes the frame connected to the ground.
So the question is, when you shoot a gun, do you let the bullet go or keep the bullet in the gun barrel?
Bao do you practice punch on heavy bag much without gloves? What is the difference between gloves or non gloves?
