A hook or an uppercut isnt going to generate as much power as a straight cross- a cross is the most powerfull punch one can throw. As to which one is better for ko's, thats widely open to debate. As far as how much power people throw behind their punches, its just a nice number to put to someones punches. Its not so much how hard you hit them as where you hit them.

Theres no definate answer- some people have strong jaws, some have glass jaws- some people punch hard and heavy, some dont. Simple put, as a small 15 year old girl, it is possible for you to knock a full grown man out, but there are many variables. The best thing I can say is that the most dangerous punch is the one you dont see. Most people who are fighters, be it boxers, kickboxers, or mixed martial artists, have decent jaws and can certainly take a shot when they see it coming. Why they get knocked out is because of the setups utilized by the other fighters- they sneak that uppercut, that cross, or that hook in their perfectly, and the opposition never even sees it. So, in short, if you work your combinations and develop some power, you dont need 1000lbs of force to ko someone

Like Rick 72. I also dunno what style of Karate you trainned before. In karate, we were taught to able to "one hit one kill." Yes, there is time we want to get in and out quick, but there are also times we want to penetrate, and finish fight in one hit. They are just different techics with different intention. I've had the chance to train with some muay thai fighters and I've had experience in karate and tae kwon do. The kicks are completely different. I remember when I held the pad in karate for people who I used to think kicked hard- this changed when I held it for the muay thai fighters. A karate kick may want to drive through the opponent, but the same details arent addressed as would be in a muay thai class. Watch the way the thai fighters turn their hips over when they kick and how their leg looks like an axe chopping down trees. Better yet, dont take my word for it, go to a class, hold the pads and see for yourself

Whoa, watch your "G"s here young man, otherwise you'll end up having to pay royalties to Rorion! NO I met from NJ and NY where I'm from.I know a few gracie guys and we sometimes train in the part in NY.He told me they work mostly all ground work and what I've seen so far looks to be true.I'm sure other BJJ can train differently but that's what I've seen so far alone with a bout 10 BJJ guys I've come across. I have not seen any self defense from BJJ so far.its mostly for competition. That obviously makes sense, since BJJ is a grappling martial art. What people were simply implying is that the clinch is also part of grappling, and considering that most people know zero about grappling to begin with, self defense techniques, such as closing the distance, attaining a dominant clinch, and then throwing your opponent with a vicious hip throw are quite easy to do against people who have no grappling training. Theres no need to go to the ground after that.

Rulon's first and last fight was against Hidehiko Yoshida around a year or so ago. Yoshida was an olympic gold medalist in Judo, Gardner a gold medalist in Greco. The whole fight was supposed to serve the "Judo vs Wrestling" theme, but nothing of that sort happened. Gardners takedown defense was too good for Yoshida, and Yoshidas guard game was too dangerous for Gardner to want to utilize any of his takedowns. As a result, it was a poor performance where the only thing you saw was a bad boxing match. Rulon has stated afterwards that since hes a very religious man and that his family didnt like the violence of MMA, its not very likely you'll see him in the ring again.
