blocking a haymaker punch (John Wayne Punch)

[Warp Spider]

It's not compressed gas fuel. Inert gas is stored under pressure to propel a liquid fuel. It is a similar principal to a compressed-air paint sprayer or a pumper jug, but much more powerful.

 

Also I never said that they don't hit or that they are simultaneous, but they are very quick and generally don't have much power.

Not all of that post was enccessiarily at you. The "not actually hit" iomment was not, the simultanious commet was (since you are mentioning "deliver the punch with a leg in the air", and obviously the one addressed directly to you is.

[Warp Spider]

Well, yes, but a jab snaps out and is back within a tiny fraction of a second. The value of a kick as a distraction would have expired by the time your kick returned. That is why I said you would have to make the punch before your leg was returned.

[JerryLove]

I disagree both with the statement that you cannot simultaniously punch and kick and get a good hit, and with the assertation that one cannot rrecover from a kick and still have the distraction value.

sounds like a comment from a guy who isn't balanced when kicking doesn't it jerry?

[Warp Spider]

I dunno, I just can't see it working, but that's just me.

well if sombodys throwing a haymaker at you there isnt any time to waste with a destraction, dont bother doing anything fancy like throwing or ducking, hit them in the face before they finish the slow haymaker then use the knees, elbows and throat strikes to finish them off,

 

simple, unclean but effective

[Warp Spider]

Actually the distraction discussion was in regards to making the haymaker more effective, not in defending against it. It was in response to an assertion that haymakers are unilaterally an ineffective attack.

[JerryLove]

That said, I can't seem to easily imagine where I would want a haymaker over a faster/harder to block/ harder hook.

my friend does drunken boxing, and he said he'd mix some styles up for that... throw himself to the floor, and use his legs to sweep him and put on a hold... of course, i dont know how fast he can safely fall to the floor. logical method?
