A Drop Dead Power Punch From Korean Karate

A Drop Dead Power Punch From Korean Karate

By:


This Korean Karate trick is one of the most powerful tricks you will ever find. As simple as it is, it requires perfect and exact timing, and a number of little bits and pieces I'm about to tell you about. Understanding these little points, and drilling the thing a bit, and you are going to have one of the most powerful tools in your martial arts arsenal.

I discovered the technique 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 to cover the left side of the body with a weird, fingers pointed palm block. You then execute a left punch to the left, and that is your power punch.

You can do this move exactly as it is in the form, and it will work with plenty of power. But there are ways to adjust it to make even more power, and to make it even more functional. And we want more functional, because we want to understand this technique so well that we can use it in street situations.

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 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, in your strike. CBM is when all body parts move at the same time. Thus, you strike with a couple of hundred pounds of mass (assuming you weigh a couple of hundred pounds), and not just the weight of your arm.

In addition, you must set the stance at the exact and correct distance so that your arm is nearly straightened out, only has a couple of inches to extend, when you make contact. If you decide to use the fingers, go slower, and add fingertip push ups to your work outs. If you decide to go deep, 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.
