Hapkidodude Posted January 13, 2002 Posted January 13, 2002 The straight blast is very effective if done properly. It has been my experience that the straight blast works well when used to close the distance and then use close techniques like knee and elbow strikes. When you are doing the straight blast you also have to drive forward to hopefully unbalance your opponent. This all must be done very quickly. Once you are in you get on his neck and control him.

Angus Posted January 13, 2002 Posted January 13, 2002 That sounds about right to me. Most serious fights i've been in have just included me doing the whole punching thing, appart from a few where i've done spinning kicks and so forth. I've started to do more and more rising front thrust kicks to the shoulder/chest area nowadays, and i find that this kinda straight action hits them off their centre of gravity. I pity the guy holding the pands for me. A good jab-cross combo never goes astray. You just have to remember your correct boxing footwork. Angus Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
shotochem Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 Sai I was referring to the quick multiple punches described by Arahat. Hapki I totally agree a straight hard thrusting attack is great for closing distance and unbalancing an attacker. I prefer a good hard rear leg front kick followed by a reverse punch . Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.
SaiFightsMS Posted January 14, 2002 Posted January 14, 2002 Actually Shotochem so was I. In order to effectively throw multiple punches they have to be practiced as multiple punches.
street fighter Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 The straight blast, hey fellas, yes if the bad guy is not ready for it he will be set back on his heels and that is a good place for a bad guy to be, but someone said it above step left or right and your out of the attack, nothing is full proof but it is worth practicing but suit up and good full contact with a willing partner and see how hard it is when the other guy knows it is coming. Hey thats just mine Survivor
Straight Blast Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 The stright blast is like a 4 by 4 keeping the distance between you and the opponent.When throwing the series of punches,you will be able to keep him from tackling or clinching to you.Some tough guys maybe able to run towards you while doin the SB,but you to will also move back. This move is not a KO move,jsut another distraction for a greater hit.i mean...how open will the opponent be when his arms are flailing in the air?
Nick_UKWC Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 you can bet that none of these fighters have ever practiced their art RUNNING BACKWARDS! I have, and I'm not the greatest anything lol "...or maybe you are carrying a large vicious dog in your pocket." -Scottnshelly
