Love Weight Loss

What happened when I finally used my fists somebody, after 30 years in the martial arts, studying Kenpo and Korean Karate and Aikido and Wing Chun, and all sorts of other stuff, and what it felt like, was a crack up…and it was a wake up call. I tell you this little anecdote not to advocate bashing gays, or to encourage you to hit people. Hitting people, after all, though nothing happened to me, could have ended up with me being sued, or at least thrown in jail.

I was manager of an apartment house in Southern California, and it was not on a good side of town. One day a fellow came by with a mutt on a leash, and I told him (in a polite manner) that dogs weren’t allowed in the apartment house. He just looked at me and said, “Why don’t you tell him,” and he motioned to his canine companion.

I went to the tenant he had visited and told him that he would have to tell that fellow not to visit again, and I was met with rudeness. I started taking note of the people that were coming to see this tenant, and I realized that the guy was selling drugs. This is where the story gets interesting.

I knocked on the door to his apartment and was let in, and I told the fellow that drugs weren’t allowed, and that he would have to move. He just laughed at me and announced, “I’m not even going to pay rent from now on, and you can’t do anything about it!” So I punched him.

Now, I merely dropped my weight into the sanchin stance, and I punched him with both fists on the chest. Man, he flew over the bed and struck the wall. But it was a stunning wake up to me. I hadn’t really damaged him, and I couldn’t believe the feeling of actually hitting somebody.

The shock jarred my arms and shook my shoulders, and my strike was not effective. I had knocked the stuffings out of bags for years, but the feeling of 175 pounds of human flesh was entirely different. I realized than that I had to change my training methods. If this had been a real fight, with somebody willing to stand up to me, I’d have a knock down drag out on my hands.

Anyway, the tenant jumps up, and he’s sobbing, an adult and he’s actually crying, and he says, “You can’t hit me!” Well, I wasn’t going to punch him again, I had suddenly realized how incredibly idiotic I was to lose it like that, but there was a ring of truth to his words. So I growled, “Why not?”

“Because my friend is in the closet!” I was frozen for a moment, then I crossed the room and opened the door to his closet, and his naked, gay lover was standing there, trembling in fear and with a really sickly grin on his face. Well, I learned something, I was going to stick to regular training in traditional martial arts like Aikido and Tai Chi, and figure out a way to make my strikes really real, and I was going to avoid fighting.

Forty years of learning what a punch really is. You can take advantage of this knowledge at Punch ‘Em Out. You can have the Strongest Punch in the World!

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 Pinan 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 weird, fingers pointed palm block. You then perform a left punch to the left, and that is what I call 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 stand in front of you, handshake apart. Have him step forward with his right leg and punch to your face with his right hand. You step back with your left foot into a back stance as you do a palm block with your left hand, this causes your partner’s right hand to pass in front of you, and this sets up his body for the counterpunch.

To counter, turn the hips and feet into a horse stance as you execute a right punch to his body. Now, this has got to be snappy, and you have to sink 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 go precise, and this will happen naturally over time, you can stick your fingers into his armpit.

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

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 thrilling technique, quick and easy, and I love the feeling of moving in quick and light and then dropped the deep power into the last snap of the fist. The potential for damage is wonderful, and it is very usable on the street, and can be adjusted or modified as one needs. The official name for this punch, in my system, which is a slight modification of Korean Karate, is The Power Punch, hope you like it.
