  • Punching a bag with gloves is not the same as punching in a self-defense situation with bare hands. Here's my tip for how to punch safely with a bare hand!

    Learning how to punch can be confusing. Especially when the gloves come off.
    Some people turn the fist, some don't. Some hit with the big knuckles, some don't. Some say you should never punch to the head in a street fight, some say that's crazy talk.
    So, what exactly is the best fist for a real street fight? All of them. And none of them. Here’s the rule-
    The best fist is the one that fits. And that depends on two factors: your position and the intended target. It's all about angles and contours.
    Make it your goal to be able to adapt to any situation. Be able to hit any target from any position.
    But be warned, punching in the air will not teach your hands how to punch. You’ve got to hit something solid. The more variety, the better.
    Even when you spar with gloves on, bring awareness to your hands. Don’t just think about hitting, think about fitting.
    And here's a little secret for you...
    Some say you shouldn’t punch to the head in a real fight, that you should only use a palm heel to avoid breaking your hand.
    The truth is I teach that, too... but only to beginners! Once you know how to pick the right fist for the job, you can punch to the head without much danger.
    So, don’t let anyone tell you you’re punching the wrong way… just do the work to make sure you learn how to punch the right way.

    I finally found someone saying the same thing I've been teaching and saying for years!! I even heard guys at a Sports Authority talking about hitting a heavy bag only when they have wraps and gloves on so they don't break their wrist. I challenged that remark and showed them right there I could hit it just fine with power without gloves or wraps and not hurt my wrist. Those things help beginners learn how to keep their wrists aligned and because they do the "super punch" as you call it, the one size fits all. I did a video talking about how targeting dictates how you will strike a target and its something even elite soldiers like SEALs use in their hand to hand training drills.

    Very nice Ando! What an awesome reminder that martial arts are flexible; they have to be in order to really work. So, it makes sense that punching has flexibility too- finding the target based on the position will dictate how you punch. I do practice in the air and on the bag. Air helps me increase quickness, while the bag helps me feel the "real" thing! Thanks for your great insught.

    @RandyVogel 9 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    Another excellent production!
    I was taught that the action of turning the fist orientation from vertical (0:23 in the vid) to flat (0:20) as the punch is being delivered causes the two bones of your forearm (the radius and ulna) to twist together and form a stiffer, more stable structure for receiving the equal-and-opposite force that the impact of the punch is going to deliver (to you!). By allowing the impact energy to be dissipated through your arm, you reduce the likelihood of injuring the hand or wrist.
    I agree that having proper orientation when you hit the target (so as not to apply excessive torque to the wrist) is the most important consideration in delivering a solid punch safely and effectively. Regular practice with a hanging heavy bag is the best way I've found for developing the required hand-eye-coordination and balance/spacing skills.

    • @AndoMierzwa
      @AndoMierzwa  9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Thanks for the comment, Randy. It's funny how every style can explain why their fist is technically sound... and in the air, everyone is right! The real proof is in the hitting. The right fist at the wrong time will break your hand just as fast as the wrong punch at the right time!

    Hey Sensei Ando Loving your videos there helpful and fun, were new to karate (Dad/Son/Daughter) and were struggling with keeping a steady stance - any advice you could give would be fab 👍

    • @AndoMierzwa
      @AndoMierzwa  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You're training with your kids? That is AWESOME. You're a great dad!
      A steady stance? You mean you get knocked around during sparring? Or just shaky during forms? Either way, give it time. It's not just building muscle, it's building muscle memory! And keep your back straight. Don't look down at your feet! Happy training to you all!

    This is a great lesson, for someone like myself, I've never lost a fight, not to say I've been in all too many fights that is, the one fight I had I won.
    I hurt the fuck out of my hand, because I was getting overwhelmed by a flurry of gang-banger style punches, over the top, fast rolling motion, should I say, style punches, he was trying to scare me I think, as well as get to my face or anything else, I was backing off, over half a 2 lane streets width, using my space to lead him into a false sense of security, I went with what felt natural, which was backing off and away, and sometimes turning my back/ribs, to avoid that critical head/face punch, which is not always advisable but the punches as I said, I could feel, weren't intended to critically harm my ribs/stomach/shoulder bone etc: (we were school kids, hyped on adrenaline, trying to be the bigger men, even myself in a sense)so I let him throw his punches, and eventually, caved to the ground a little when I ran out of space, I waited for the right moment when I had no other choice practically(I'm sure if I continued in this manner, I would have succumbed to a good blow or two, because at this point, he knew he was getting nowhere, and was more or less questioning how he wanted to do it I imagine) it was then that I grabbed all that kinetic energy, in my arms from the ground(I even remember putting my knuckles of my right hand(I was in a crab-like position, almost out of balance)on the ground, and saying this is it, let's go then)and from my legs, straightening my body up and forcing myself to stand, and I went from the bottom right, sharp up to the side of his head, really hoping at first to hit the face, but in that moment you don't always think(which is the most dangerous thing)but because my Dad had taught me things, and I had gone to karate, just a little while(3/4 daily sessions tops, busting a kids nose bleeding as a reaction to again training, and the fact that he kicked me in my nuts I think)I seemed to almost automatically readjust for the temple, as I knew I didn't even want to fight in the first place, my brain was clearly like fuck it(dangerous too, think before you act, trust, nobody wants to go to jail for an accidental cripple/death, it's serious as fuck, beat that into your head)and sufficed to say, he dropped like a sack of potatoes.
    Even hitting his head on the cement curb, thankfully to God, somewhat lightly, and that was the end of it.
    About the kid in karate, the way I learned to flatten a guys nose, when he was a green belt, and I don't know I must've been a white, if I even got a belt at that stage, was due to my Father, he had been in tons of pretty violent fights throughout he's life, having to deal with bullies who were almost twice the width of him at times more than likely.
    He taught me if I want to break the guys nose, simply pull your punch back(I was taught to twist my hands from the side-fist slightly angled ready position to a quarter rotation left if your working with your right hand as dominant to get to a flat vertical fist, with a slightly bent elbow)and imagine your going to punch the nose, now simply think about punching through his head, then you send it, and trust me if you connect and your at the right position, he's either not getting back up, or you were too far away, and now his eyes are blurry to hell, so have your fun.
    Another thing on the nose, it is one of the most tactical positions to attack in my opinion.
    Because even if strength isn't your suit, and the other guy is a monster, if you can hit it, you've got a huge advantage, because he's eyes WILL water, at the very least slightly.
    The method goes as such, 2 left hooks, they don't have to be strong at all, just enough to bend his nose a bit maybe, just to disorient him, then you send your dominant hook, and you make sure you put some elbow grease behind it, street fights are almost never fair however, so this tactic is still useful, but you might rarely get the chance to use it if they are street smart.
    They will usually try to scare you as mentioned before, dancing about like they have endless stamina, flicking fingers at you, anything to distract you, disorient you, any advantage they can get.
    That's usually when they're homies come up behind you and either cheap shot knock you (TF) out, or jab you with a knife in your ribs and take your wallet.
    It's no joke, people are absolute scum when it comes to fair fighting, whether it be in clubs, pubs,festivals, anything.
    ALWAYS, be aware of your surroundings, and you will always, have the best upper hand, so long as you can keep the threats at distance, think about your hearing especially, because that's when you can become Jason fucking bourne and take 2 at once or worse, but don't you dare get cocky, play it safe, use your distance to recuperate and reevaluate, THEN take action, unless you have no choice, then you gotta think carefully.
    I hope this does help some of you, I had this fight maybe around grade 6, I would have been 8 years old, more or less, I can't recall.
    But what I do know is not a single person would easily come up to me again, especially when the whole primary and high school probably saw it on video...
    Never be afraid to back down from a fight, don't let your ego get the best of your better judgement, trust your gut, and if your getting constantly harassed, stick around a large group of friends or anyone really, if your really afraid, don't go into a corner by yourself, run out into the open, do what you must, if they want to threaten you with knives or anything, you rip they're fucking eyeballs out, and you run lol.
    I'll end my rambling essay here, great video Sensei Ando, I'm sure this would have taught many.

    Hi Ando! I already been fan and subscriber, I searched how to punch & your video popped up & was what I needed! I just want to learn some basic self defense. Ever since 2 men carjacking/at gunpoint a year ago, I've been paranoid, everywhere I go. A hermit. Hyper vigilant is one thing! I carry pepper spray, & a pocket knife, but I really need to learn to fight/ protect myself! I just have no experience. I want to get punching bag!! Would you say that it's the best way to start out? Always great videos! You deserve way more views! Thanks! 🙏❤️🌈

    • @AndoMierzwa
      @AndoMierzwa  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow! So glad you survived the carjacking. That will definitely shake you up! But don't let the bad guys make you hide... the good guys need you back in action!
      As for training, there are so many paths. I'd rather see you training in a school then by yourself, but start however you can. If you can get out to check out some classes, though, do that!

    Thank you Sensei Ando for your wise and informative video(s). About punching people in the face, one can get some pretty nasty, dirty gashes on ones hands from the other guys teeth. Guess thats just going to happen if you are striking with closed hands...best if danger is imminent, and you can't leave, to go from being harmless reasonable guy to ultra-violent guy very quickly and show them the err of their ways with a series of well placed kicks first...you may not have to punch!
    Prepare for Peace! :) did i just coin that?! I want the t-shirt! Please continue your good work Sensei. Staying tuned in Toronto.

    • @AndoMierzwa
      @AndoMierzwa  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good point. I suppose striking to the mouth with any part of your body can result in a gash. I also agree that we must train to flip the switch from cool to combative as fast as possible. If you need to fight, you need to fight NOW! "Prepare for Peace!" Yes! I'd buy that! :)
