Guy attacks you...

[Jiu-fu fighter]

A guy comes charging at you with a punch, what do you do?

I would throw his punch to my side with a block and round house him hard in the knee or thigh.
followed by a a lunge punch to the face, and a left hook to his chin


what combos or moves would you do?
what techniques?

[Garland]

Smash a bottle over his head and then open his throat with the broken bottle. Then I find out where his family, friends, pets, and the employees of every store/restaraunt/etc he's been in that week and murder them.

Good call Garland. You can never be too preemptive these days.

What about the people who give you dirty looks along the way? I swear Garland you're getting weak!

That depends. What flavor is the punch?

[Ardith]

It is cherry flavored.

[Bjjexpertise@be]

Mike Brewer their ass and take out a pen and go for their groin.

[Jiu-fu fighter]

lol.... its funny how forums go to hell so quickly.

but honestly, people, if a guy threw a punch at you, what combination or defense would you most likely use as you have learned through your various martial art trainings.

and no not punch as in the drink

[jubaji]

The question is kind of 'broad' don't ya think?

[knifehand]

first of all your prob not gonna block it ....punches are harder to block than mcdojo's lead people to believe.......i would try to slip or duck depending on the angle of the punch and counter with strike to the head or body whichever is available......slipping allows a fighter to counter with both hands free ......then i would call brewer and boar to tagteam on the SOB .

I've only trained kickboxing (3 years).
If he came charging at me, I would probably use footwork to get out of the way of his attack and pivot to face him, then tell him "hey mate, chill, I don't want to fight. Let's talk instead".
If he charged me again, I would suspect he's ready for me pivoting away, and come at me with less speed. Then I would probably try to look relaxed as long as possible, then step in as he came at me with a one-two to his face.
If he has no training, I think (hope?) my timing, judging of distance, and footwork would be much better than his, which would allow me to land the one-two combo before or while he throws his haymaker right. Keeping my chin tucked and my shoulder high would not let him land his strike clean on my face.
But if he's too big of a guy for me I would still run.
(Of course, I live in sweden, so it's not so likely that he has a knife or other weapon.)

Oh, man........

Haha yeah I'm sorry jubaji, I know it sounds a bit gay... I'm just too friendly.
I'm being honest when I say I would PROBABLY avoid the fight as long as possible. I'm just not one of those guys who needs to huff and puff, I'd rather be friends with the guy haha...
