Kimbo's catch all question/answer thread.

[AdamGB]

Kimbo I think you need to go and do a small bit of reading on the basics of exercise and sport training.

the questions that you're asking are basically the same as asking "how long is a piece of string?"

Get a tatoo of a ship's anchor on your forearm. Eat a can of Spinach. Stalk a woman called Olive and learn how to laugh like 'gug gug gug'. Oh, and be careful of a guy called Bluto.

my the randomness is difficult to follow.

How do you throw a 'Haymaker'? If that is indeed a serious question, join a boxing gym and learn that in boxing Haymakers are not used. Same with Haymaker Kicks. Join a martial arts gym and learn how to kick properly.

Trying to learn 'Haymakers' over the internet is a recipe to get hurt. Concentrate on your schoolwork instead. No hooks before books...

Truthfully if you are interested in defending yourself stick to a jab and a straight right to the body. I have ended many would be confrontations with those 2 punches. The jab if executed semi-correctly is more than enough to break a nose, tear up the eyes, interfere with breathing and it keeps you in a good defensive position and at a distance from any surprise blows. The straight right to the solar plexus (generally wide open after the jab to the face) quickly ends most confrontations and if for some reason it does go on from there I guarantee their desire is fading fast. The body punch targets an unexpected area, interferes with their breathing and takes all of their punching power away.
A haymaker is easily avoided or countered-if by some miracle it lands your hand will most likely be broke and if they dont go out you are left defending yourself with 1 hand.
Lastly a side step or drop step will save your face better than any haymaker and will put you in a position to do serious damage with your jab
