Simply put, if you break down every element of a punch, and use that thing inside your head to ask, well how can I improve, yes you might increase the risk of breaking your wrist if you aren't careful, and you might take a lot longer than if you had a good instructor, but you will also learn the basics like an egg becoming a chicken!

And you don't believe classes are necessary based on what experience?
No amount of self analyzing can replace a great teacher that can explain and make you feel the nuances of even a seemingly simply straight punch.
It takes me about 5 seconds of watching someone to tell if they've studied with someone good or just learned from a video.
