Well without lifting or spinning his heel, which steals from his root and steals power, a good CMA practitioner can throw from one side of his body
1. A palm strike
2. A back fist
3. A punch
4. An elbow and
5. A shoulder strike
A boxer can throw
1. a punch and
2. An elbow
2 to 5 ratio those are seriously steep odds in Vegas my friend.
The reason I don't mention gloves or conditioning is because I don't play sports and I train to avoid being hit.
If you stop a CMA practitioners leg from moving he can still strike with the same amount of power. If you stop a boxers leg from moving you steal almost all his power and he has to over extend himself.
And rolling your shoulder up opens your mid section to all kinds of kicks and knees so the protection to your head is only covering one soft spot and exposing numerous others including your groin.
I understand perfectly why the boxing punch is throw the way it is and have compared it to the way a CMA practitioner punches. You seem to just be spouting things written in a text book again.
Explain to me again the dynamics of how you throw a CMA strike? I can compare the two together since I have practiced them both. How much have you trained in CMA's. This is not asked to be rude but I'd like to know if I am so closed minded where you are gathering your comparison from. I would be more than happy to hear what experience you have in the CMA's Dick.
I am not trying to be a know it all but no one seems to be able to make more of a comparison I just see people typing what is said in every book about boxing. What about body and muscle alignment. Doesn't a boxer have to draw back before his next strike? What defense does a boxer have against a kick when he throws his strike? These are things that are covered already when I strike in the manner I do using CMA principles.
