When punching someone, you do many types of movements. When punching, you usually extend the arm and forearm and flex fingers..

Now there are over 50 muscles in relation to the upper limbs but we will go over the basics.

Since it will take a while to understand the anatomy, I'll give you a brief list of the muscles. This includes the arm and forearm.

Triceps (extension of the arm)

Anconeous (extension of the arm)

Flexor digitorum longus and superficialis (flexes joints of the fingers)
