What are the main muscles used in a punch? Which muscles exactly in the arm.

My guess would be your forearm muscles, your biceps and triceps, and your deltoids.

The shoulders, the forearms, the legs, and the hips. If you notice the physique of many powerful punching boxers, you'll see they all have one thing in common: They usually all have VERY developed shoulders and forearms. These two muscle groups help in punching power more so than the biceps (which have little to no function in punching).

The JAW muscles.
You start communication with aggro, then these will be mostly used muscles!
It is a scientific fact!
But if you are on about the actual ACTION of PUNCH then it depends HOW you PUNCH and WHAT KIND of PUNCH it IS.
Put 'em up, pal!

The power of a punch comes from shifting or falling body-weight.It does not come from muscles.

upper cut, jab, cross ??? what are we talkin here friend--- most will include bicep, tricep, some forearm, and a whole lot of the three heads of your shoulder----your pectorals and lats will come in to play as well and don't forget the abdominals and leg muscles required to get the proper stance and pivot--- hey is this a trick question ??

There are no main muscles. But if their were it would be your hips.

Easy, the JAW muscles. You need to bge able to talk some serious trash and psyche out your opponent. really get into his/her head. If you can do that, it's a cinch!!!!
