Motion DNA: Fitness From the Ground UpMotion DNA is moving fitness and rehab into the 21st century with wireless, sensorless digital 3D motion capture technology.
This is a pretty cool graphic and scientific explanation of how the body transfers energy from the ground up, resulting in the one-punch KO

If someone can find a different copy of the video I originally posted in this thread that would be awesome.

It was some really cool 3D animations of a one punch knockout, illustrating the energy wave building power as it works its way up the kinetic chain.

That video is eithe the same exact thing or pretty damn close to the one used in the Sport Science show Chiron is talking about. I had to do a presentation a few weeks ago analyzing a movement and I picked a hook punch and used a clip from this. Those 3D animation thins are pretty neat.
Interesting tangent: the explanation of the kinetic movement up into the hand sounds very much like one a bullwhip goes through. A small and not very fast flick of the wrist travels down an ever-decreasing radius bullwhip, accelerating faster through the smaller and smaller medium until, at the end, it surpasses the speed of sound and is traveling around 800-900 mph. Then you hear the sonic boom as the whip breaks the sound barrier (most people incorrectly assume the noise is the whip end hitting itself).
Here's a good example with a 25 foot bullwhip by a friend of a friend who is a champion bullwhip... um... guy (his name is Chris Camp and he holds the record with most whip cracks in one minute at 222). His hand is moving maybe 10 mph when it starts the reaction:
