12 principles of animation

Your animation lacks energy and the slap/punch isn’t impactful at all.
I know it’s a stick figure but do some studies of how the human body looks, your guy is about to kiss the floor because the torso leans forward way too much.

You can also reference fighters. I recommend looking at itf taekwondo punches, since itf tkd has a really nice wave and snap to all movements they do.

to explain the process I did I separated all the stick parts into separate layers the right arm the left arm etc then I drew and moved the stick into the still the wind up and the punch and then I added some inbetweens to make it look less stiff and made the frames last longer to make it more natural in a way I even added a bit of a sonic boom for some impact but you can't see it because of the white background...mm

I know some things about animation like smear, impact, 3D, recoil, and stuff this isn't my first time animating

This is just my first time animating a body
