New punches to me...

[Symphony-x]

Okay, so I read earlier about punches I hadn't ever heard of before:

Bolo punch and Wing punch.

so i searched them, and couldnt really get any good descriptions of them or that, anyone care to help?

thanks

A bolo punch is used by boxers, but very rarely. It involves one of he arms going in a circle to distract the opponent. Which ever arm the opponent looks at, the other strikes the opponent. So it's a fake out basically.

I don't know about a wing punch.

Those are new to me as well. Do you have a style to associate with them?

A bolo punch is the default drunken street brawler's punch, he pulls his dominant hand out of the invisible holster on his hip and throws a big wide hook at you. I've heard it's also used by boxers as a decoy (very occasionally) as cathal mentioned, albeit in a much more refined manner than the drunk.

well both punches are on the WAKO kickboxing syllabis

The most classic bolo punch of all time was used by Sugar Ray Leonard against Roberto Duran. I'm sure you could find it on the web. Everyone (including Sugar Ray) was surprised that it worked in a championship fight. I believe in the same fight, Duran ended up giving up by raising his hands and exclaiming, "no mas!"

Why are you punching a brick? :/

On a side note, has anyone ever heard of, or seen (maybe in the back of a bar next to some kind of gym) a bolo kick?

And yes, why are you punching a brick?
