Samurai Shotokan Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Ok i was wondering if 2 people practise punching one does the normal triple punch (high middle and low)and the other does Katas. My question is whose punch would be better? 28 movies, 50 years Godzilla is King of the Monsters"nothing like a good workout" Paul Pheonix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jussi Häkkinen Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 The one who actually understands that what he's actually doing when he's doing those punching excercises. They're just training tools for learning certain principles, not the "final thing". Many don't understand.

yamesu Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Definantly, we could all wave our arms around all day, that wont improve our punching without the knowledge of HOW TO PUNCH. Assuming both the Kihon and Kata practitioners have equal knowledge of the techniques, Id say the Kata man would be more effective, as most strikes in kata are provided with the proper footwork and followthrough. Especially Tsuki from Zenkutsu-dachi, as tsuki is usually executed with a full step through the target area. Ouchies. OSU. "We did not inherit this earth from our parents.
