Can you do it!!!

[Spielwurfel]

I was talking to a friend that already practiced karate with my sensei, and he told me that one day, he learned how to throw a person several feets of distance with just one punch!! He said that my sensei throwed him 29 feets of distance (about 9 meters)!! And the punch don't hurt you... He told me that he throwed a guy 8 feets of distance... Did someone already did it?

I didn't understand...

I was thinking more of rollerskates myself

 

First of all, you can't "throw" somebody with a punch. You can knock the back, and I suppose that if the guy staggers back far enough, he could stagger back for a long ways. But lifting a person off their feet and back that far with a punch? Not possible bud. Somebody's feeding you a pile of you-know-what.

 

Unless you nailed a guy with an uppercut, I doubt if they'd leave their feet, and in the case of an uppercut he would be lifted upwards, not backwards, a few inches at most. But then again, Mike Tyson could probably uppercut a stationary target a foot or more if they were real light. Kicks...yeah, you cn take a guy off his feet that way, and back a few FEET (farther if he's backpeddl;ing with his legs as he goes backwards)...but not the distance you're talking about.

The punches in question probably have a lot more pushing power than punching...otherwise the person would have been hurt. Now as far as distance goes, I'm sure there was some (a lot) exaggeration...

Once your center of balance is countered, you can fall backwards a good distance. This is mostly due to your efforts to 'stop' yourself from falling, with backstepping and torso twisting in an effort to regain balance. I would call it mostly a trick, an exploitation of someone's lack of confidence in falling or unwillingness to land on your butt (pride), and not so much a power technique.

 

As far as causing someone to get off balance, via a push-strike, most people don't know how to center and are then subjected to being treated like a pendulum. When told to 'expect' a strike, they stand there ready to take on a punch and have almost all their focus set far too high (solar plexus level). This focus is accentuated by the striker using his 'eyes' to insinuate he will be striking at the solar plexus. But instead, he strikes around 3 inches above the solar plexus, using the body as a lever... and effecting centripetal force. The lower body is then subjected to a reactive counter-balancing centrifugal force and the human body instinctively attempts to counter the counter-balance... thus the stepping backwards.

 

Tricks, not power.

[Shorin Ryuu]

Right...I was just referring to the fact that it was more of a push rather than a punch. A properly delivered punch with that much "power" could very well be fatal...but as it were, it mysteriously did not hurt the person...

Never got punched that far, got a roundhouse to the chest that sent me flying a few feet....but 9 meters.....erm....

I have a special Samurai Technique handed down to ne called "Chisai-zuki!!!" I have demonstrated this punch to many students and public. I rest my hand, open palmed, and with the my inner Ki, I move the person back 23 feet. He is still standing and un-hurt! It is an amazing feat I am able to accomplish! The secret technique of the Shogun!!!
