Head punches By teej - 01-18-2008 11:57 AM

=========

Not a Kenpo question, but I know one of you will have an answer.

What is the reasoning behind the Koreans and Japanese not allowing punches to the head but allowing kicks to the head? Being two different countries or governing bodies, do they have different reasons for not allowing head punches?

Recently watching Human Weapon and Fight Quest episodes where matches were stopped and warnings given because the Americans head punched. Infact, I beleive the episode in Greece had the same rules, no head punches.

All the arts have tough fighters, but as you all know kicks generate more force than punches. What is the reasoning?

Just courious, Teej
