i take wild punch to mean a big unamed wide swing you see in street fights. I would first of all move out the way. thats the easiest. Or I'd throw a faster more direct straight punch. Or you could bum rush and take them down. Or get them in a choke. But, its so easy to just move out the way and avoid all the troubles.

I say the best defense would be to laugh really hard, slap your knee, then give him a big hug. works every time.undefined

hahaha :lol:

 

 

Step inside the reach of the punch and use one arm to block, with the other arm performing an elbow strike in line with the step. Either that or step under the punch and through with a reverse knife hand strike or finger thrust to the throat, or more likely a rear inwards punch to the chest.

In real fights i think simplicity is the best thing.

 

I wouldn't to step back else chances are he is gonna throw another one at you then another and so on. I wouldn't even dream of trying to apply a restraint either that ain't gonna work.

 

I'd step forward into it with my chin tucked right into my shoulder, i'd raise my elbow (as if doing a raising elbow strike) To cover the whole side of my head. and tuck my head right behind it. Hopefully they'll punch my elbow.

 

I now find my self stood at super close range. This is the point where no attacker wants you to be as they'll be off balance and won't have a clue what to do.

 

This is the point where i light them up with elbows, kness and head butts. keeping in nice and tight!!!

we did this exact thing today in jujitsu. you step forward and knife hand the center of the bicep and the center of the forarm. if you get it correct it REALLY hurts. and the harder they punch the more it hurts. this is for a drunken hook punch. hope i could help.

 

 

as we've been trained to i would:

 

block up with my closer arm then:

 

*straight punch his ribs

 

*turn my arm to elbow him

 

*step my front foot through to trip him up

 

*or in special cases use my other arm to grab his neck and..........................i probably wouldn't use that

 

 

if the hook is going from the left hand to right,

 

then you would circle down under to the left, making the opponent slightly off balance with him having his arm stretched out without hitting anything, then circle under and to the side of the arm to the right and follow with the body's circular movement with jab then follow with a cross do the head

 

do xactly the opposite with a hook from the right hand to left position

 

 

This is a question none of us can really answer. I mean I may say I would do this or that but you never know how you would react. It all depends too if its your drunk friend or a stranger.

 

My preferance is to block or move and counter with low roundhouse to knee.

 

 

Ok, to those people that wrote about a direct assault w/out blocking. when asked about it, our master instructor put it this way. "Think of it as a gunfight. Even if you shoot first, that bullet's still coming at you." just a thought.
