I remember two things from the kung-fu I did at uni (apart from the punch from the hip snap punch.
1) Kick low, hard and as soon as you can... preferably the knee - it's hard for your opponent to fight when they can't stand.
2) If throwing a punch at a face, bring your elbow through and around afters... if your punch misses there's every chance your elbow ...[text shortened]... I, like others above, am a runner not a fighter.
I'll see you down the end of the road...
The truth is though, and I think Huck may have mentioned this before - Stamp kick to the knee cap will sort anyone out.
Originally posted by lauseyYes. Look at them in the face as if that's where you are intending to punch them, then stamp down on their knee as hard as you can. If you do it right they will fall to the floor, then you can decide whether or not to walk away or kick their head in.
Anyone with any training in fighting knows you should not let them know what you are going for. 😉
The hardest bloke I ever met taught me that.

Actually that should be Cassius or Muhammed.

"My name is not guy, it's Muhammed Ali,
And here's some advice I'm gonna give you for free,
Right Guard anti-perspirant, it's a powerful spray,
Just one shot in the morning and you're good for the day.
Now believe what I say, because I'm always right,
Right Guard gives those odors one heck of a fight.
Now others may say that they are the latest,
But brother, next to me, Right Guard, it's the greatest."
No Cosell in the entire commercial
Originally posted by shortcircuitI was watching a documentary on Ali and a lot of it involved Cocell. Just as Ali was starting to go into a rant the phone rings.

"Hello".
Long pause....
"Yes, hello. Is this Mr. (insert slaughtered pronunciation)?
"Hold on, I'll get him...."
I put the phone up to the speaker and Ali ranted on. After some time, I get on the phone and say, "Did he pick up?"
"No, take your time". I guess he was enjoying it as much as me... so I hung up.
