Mainstream journalism, biographers and popular media always make it a fuss that Mike Tyson can throw blows with such high PSI that it can break through tanks and how Mas Oyama can chop through a live aggressive bull's horn with one hand.
But this leads me to a big question As many RBSD and military H2H instructors pointed out, pro fighters throw hundreds and hundreds of punches despite how journalists always write about Bruce lee having the power to kill a man with a direct roundhouse.
Yet complete amateurs who never even played a game of baseball can easily KO a muscular man with strong chin in one swing, even knocking his teeth out and you mentioned that without any training at all, an obese nerdy waste can get a $5 hammer at a local store and seriously love up a knight's well made plate armor with one sloppy clumsy swing.
Is the gap really that great and why so? I mean the fact an old man using a 12 ounce stick can easily make someone like Klitschko brothers seriously bleed if he simply throw his stick at the face is making me severely confused and curious.
And its not just unarmed powerful blows with PSI measured by the hundreds, I also am wondering about how different the gap in damage is for different weapons. I mean despite weighing the same and weighing much lighter, a frying pan can knock out someone far easier than say a sai or other Japanese martial arts weapon (esp if amateurs tryt o use either).
Why could a pillow do far more serious damage from a nobody like me than a boxing punch from George Foreman which is measured as being strong enough to pierce car doors?. I use pillows because I was shocked as love to learn that adults who play in pillow fighting have gotten not only bleeding nose and mouth but even broken chins or gash wounds when their kids hit them with the pillow. NOT LYING this happened to my uncle and from a child who is so weak I can carry his whole body with one arm.
It shocks me so much that an untrained person can simply throw a Gatorade drink at someone cand cause a broken nose right away,something that pro boxers have difficulty doing even to out of shape untrained accountants! It also shocks e how someone using a small branch can cause bruses far more easily than someone using Okinawan kobudo weapons such as a Tonfa and Kama!
Shouldn't Tyson be in jail for murder since his punch should have killed random drunks who pissed Tyson off at a local bar? Since his punch should be able to wreck a tank apart? But a mere glass tin metal drinking cup can knock out Ricky Hatton in an instant? (YES this incident really did happen in a bar)?
Is there something sports journalism. martial artist biographers, and TV documentaries seriously leaving out everytime they write about Marciano punching door stalls apart or Brock Lesnar being able to break through a fence by tackling because his recorded sprawl is so full of force?
Please help me understand the inconsistency in effective damage from kicks and punches vs smashing a computer modem over someone's head?
