I experiment as an observation with an opposite of the lunge punch, as the attacker moves towards you and you are moving away, you throw a wide hook, and found the punch rarely misses, done right it catches your attacker in the temple as he moves into it. Point? It can be interesting in looking for new ways of applying old ideas.

So I take by your inference that you do not prepare your students to deal with boxing style punches? If so that is interesting!
I teach my students to deal with the tactical/interactive space (kukan) no matter how someone positions their body to create that space.
I teach my students Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, I'm not qualified to teach boxing.
It's all the same anyway.
If it's not, you're going to be spending a lot of time chasing for a counter to every technique there is.
Very true Stephen, very true. Space and timing are essential. In the end you are right in that it is all the same albeit people get to that in a different way.
If people are looking, Stephen Hayes' third volume of his ninjutsu series has a pretty good summary of these concepts in chapter 4.
