isshinryu5toforever Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 What isn't more effective in a combo? Seriously. The whole one punch knockout/kill thing is a great thing to be able to do, but you're never going to be able to do it consistently unless you're Superman.Unless you're talking about just scoring a quick point in a game of tag, then yes, everything is better in a combo than on its own.

And disguising your distance with your stance is important. BTW, tuck your chin in just in case. But techniques used in combinations tend to be more successful.

sensei8 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Anything's possible, but, nothing's guaranteed! There are just way to many parameters to each and everything in the martial arts...including just for points. **Proof is on the floor!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todome Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 It's not very likely anyone's going to walk into your range so you can just snap one off without moving your feet (if they've crept in past your jab, you're sleeping). On the other hand, a good shifting reverse punch attack is a must. It's not all that easy, either, but it definitely draws a line in the sand for you. we all have our moments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeke34 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 if not countering you will have to set it up somehow...if it's for tournaments you can use footwork/movements like in this vid at 44sec... he does this a lot in actual competition and catches a lot of people with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
