Damn, I thought is was a Japanese name for some type of throw or technique. LOL

That's the Goku punch you're thinking of.

You can ask Nick Diaz about em...he was swearing in his last interview that Gomi was throwing Hadoken shit at him.

People use the superman punch quite a lot in TKD competition sparring, it can be a quick point winner when applied correctly. Applied wrongly and the puncher is often taken down with a side kick or back kick to his exposed gut.

I saw this guy at a tourament using a version of the superman punch. He was scoring at will and actually took first place in sparring. The version he was using was actually a jumping overhand hook. It was something I had never seen before and it was like lightining. It was actually in the form of a rightside up cresent moon. I can't remember but I think it was point sparring.

Yeah thats a personal fave of mine if someone is sidekicking or using a chamber a lot, push down on the leg with one hand, jump up and bop em with the other one, improvise from there
