Casting Punch vid with shot with the Fight Nerd

Hey Steve, question. What's the impact felt on the shoulder? Is there an extra strain placed there because of the positioning and motion of the arm? Is there an increased chance of taking an injury using that strike?

I've actually done this type of punch while sparring. It wasn't as sharp as Fedor's but it had the same concept: I striked my partner's temple with my top knuckles and used a lot of hip and back-foot movement. It's not the same as your traditional boxing punches but it knocks the wind out of the guy and breaks through his defences pretty effectlivly.

Good video SamboSteve, it will definitly help me in sharpening up this punch. I know what I'm going to be drilling on the heavy bag :D

Doesn't matter if you said wind. You're still hitting a little low. In other words you said "I striked my partner's temple with my top knuckles ".

How does hitting somebody in the temple knock the "wind" out of somebody?

I gotta say, I tried this punch sparring one time and it's soo good for setting up throws. I mean I know it's been said before, and tested, and my word means pretty much nothing, but I gotta say it clicked soo good. Hitting throws with that punch is a rush.
