this could very well fall under any MA category on the boards but i decided instead to ask here.
take a look a look at the linked article tell me what you think. i found the article after a discussion i had about generating increased power in your punch, thus transferring more force into your attacker. my long standing belief is that, it's not hitting to the target, but rather, hitting through your target. and that goes for just about any strike or kick. the whole elbow thing makes sense. anyhoo...
also, would like to know how many of you implement the vertical fist punch into your techniques? and why?
i use the vertical punch quite a bit, and actually prefer it over the "karate style" horizontal punch. at first i thought it just depended on the target you are striking. i don't feel that is all that pertinent now.
thoughts?
