BlackBeltKid Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 I was wonedering what kind of punch do you like.
karatekid1975 Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 I like the straight punch in sparring (must come from my point sparring days), because I score with it 90% of the time or backfist (if that counts), but I can't use that in TKD. Laurie F
SoonerJohn Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 I like the Jab.I can do more things with it than any other punch.
KK Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 I like using Mae-ken when I am sparring and the follow up with a punch to the body.Sometimes use the Mae-ken as a decoy and often capitalise with the punch to the body.
marie curie Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 I like a backfist You suck-train harder.......................Don't block with your faceA good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. -Lao Tzu
KK Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Uraken is one of my faves too but again would only use it as a follow up punch rather than a starting technique during a fight.
Whitefeather Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 My favorite would be by far the Yagi-I think that is the right word. To explain, it is a reverse hand straight punch (yakazuki), except you bring your fist up to head-level then start the punch. You bring your hand up by pivoting your entire arm upwards in a circular outwards motion, the pivot point at the shoulder, so at the checkpoint your palm faces away from your head. In other words, the punch starts at the head level and hits at the sternum level. It is fearfully effective at penetrating peoples gaurd. Especially when followed by a front hand uppercut to the ribs.Just my 3 cents,Dave "Between genius and insanity, there lies a fine line. I like to think of it as the tip of the diving board."-An anonymous insane genius"Fight I, not as one that beateth the air"
HAPKIDO-KID Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Any punch I can pull off to either get around or blast through there defenses...and get my opponent KTFO! MARTIAL ARTS IS NOT A GAME...THEREFORE IS NOT A SPORT!
