The Deadly Power Punch Technique From Korean Karate!

[I:http://aromatherapyexpert.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/AlCase31.jpg] This Korean Karate trick is one of the simplest and most deadly moves you will ever find. As simple as it is, it requires exquisite timing, and a number of little bits and pieces of which I am about to tell you. Understanding these fine points, and working on the thing a bit, and you are going to have one of the most powerful punches in your martial arts arsenal.

I discovered this trick in the form which is sometimes called Heian Five, it happens right after you execute a crescent kick and low block. You are now standing in a horse stance, and you swing the right arm across the body to cover the left side of the body with a palm block. You then perform a left fist to the left, and that is what I have labeled the power punch.

You can do this move right out of the form, and it will work with plenty of power. But there are ways to tweak it to make even more power, and to make it even more workable. And we want more workable, because we want to understand this technique so well that we can use it on the street.

Have your partner face you, handshake distance away. Have him step forward with his right foot and punch to your face with his right hand. You step back with your left leg into a back stance as you execute a left palm block, this causes your partner’s right hand to pass in front of you, and this presents his body for the counter.

To counter, turn your body and feet into a horse stance as you perform a right punch to his ribcage. Now, this has got to be done quick and sharp, and you have to drop your weight and snap those hips, and you are going to find that this technique, if executed correctly, is going to smash his ribs to splinters. In addition, if you happen to use a little precision, and this will happen naturally over time, you can stick your fingers directly into his armpit.

The thing is that you must have perfect CBM, Coordinated Body Motion. This means that all body parts move at the same time and in harmony. Thus, you strike with a couple of hundred pounds of mass (assuming you weigh a couple of hundred pounds), and not twenty pounds of arm.

In addition, you must make sure your stance is at the correct distance so that your arm is nearly straightened out, only has a couple of inches to extend, when you strike him. If you decide to use the flattened out hand, go slower, and add fingertip push ups to your daily exercises. If you decide to go deep and do a throw, you can set your legs so that your punched out arm can sweep him over your horse.

I always found this to be a wonderful move, quick and easy, and I love the feeling of moving in quick and light and then dropped the deep power into the last oomph of the punch. The damage to that mugger is going to be considerable, and the move is very usable on the street, and can be adjusted as one needs. The official label for this move, in my system, which is a slight modification of Korean Karate, is The Power Punch, hope you enjoy it.
