Have you ever punched someone in the face?

[slog]

i've punched myself in the face a few times. it's usually in the morning when i'm looking in the mirror, letting it all sink in you know? right before the coffee.

 

[KOnah]

Maybe :wink:

Yes, and I fucked up my hand on all occassions. As lame as it sounds/looks, the palm strike has served me better.

exactly what i said... even when throwing them correctly, you can still jack up your hand pretty good with a closed fist....it's still instinct to use the closed fist, but if you actually know how to throw punched with your palm. they can be really good (see bas in pancrase)

my palm strikes are decent, but i'm still more likely to throw closed fist.. if your on the ground, def you want to use the palm, because you will prob break your hand if you use the fist...

i have been in a few fights and to be honesti have hit a fair amout of people in the face and i have never broken my hand, but i did actually have a slight fracture when sparring w/gloves how odd is that.

 

[devante]

even in actual fights im actually kinda judicious in what i throw; so i guess that is why, since i don't start bombing like alot of people out there

I had a street fight few days ago after soccer game. Some guy was blaming me for going at him too hard and waited for me outside. I came out he started pushing me and cursing me out. I waited for him to push me one more time and put my hands up. I waited and he threw a wild overhand punch(stree fight punch) which i knew will come i just helmet guarded and he hit my elbow with his fist. He kinda went like "oohh" and i just went in and jabbed him hard and then threw my left elbow(i 'm a southpaw). Guy went down and i left home.

My damn brother gets mad and can punch anything not break his damn hand he hits like a 220 pound man hitting mitts hes 175.With his left hook strait right anyway. Some people just gots better hands eh? 4 once gloves take care of everything thou.

Before I knew proper mechanics I busted the knuckles over my pinkie and ringfinger every time. Then I trained 5 years of Kempo/BJJ where we worked palm heel strikes nearly every day. I throw pretty hard anyway and would use palms now. Thank God I haven't had a street fight since then.

lol I had bullies at my babysitters house in kindergarten and kinda got into thinking fighting solves everything until like middle school but yea first punch to the face was back wen i was in senior kindergarten against fuckin 10 year old bullies lol but most memorable punch to the face was at elemtary school i was 7 yrs old and i lost a soccer game ( and fighting solved everything at the time ) and punched the game winner in the face and broke the kids nose...i never seen so much blood until then but fights are often not anymore even tho im still in high school but maybe cuz i was traumatized from bullies:S got beaten up daily by 2 kids for the entire school year n i never won one fight except wen one of the kids was sick but yea i remember those days pretty clear

I've had to punch people in the face many times. I started street fighting real young. Grew up in a tough neighborhood with a hot sister and gay brother. That made me a target. I've easily had over 30 fights on the street, 4 in the ring. Best face shot was when two kids were trying to rob me and the leader of the two had a huge lollipop in his mouth. BULLSEYE!! Six teeth in one shot. Fuckin sweet!!

As a kid ohh. Besides with my brother id pretty much grab and wrestle more then punch..

First clear memory of punching the face before wrestling was 14 when i smashed a guys window out with a piece of a cinder block opened his door and started to punch him. After few hits he hit the peddle it was in reverse his door pushed me to the side my little brother jumps on the door and starts riding it while punching him i wouldnt do that shit. The guy ran my friends mom over with the door she had to get stitches like 73 in her head.

Later that night his friends came back said they didnt know if he was dead or not he was passed out in a parking lot they said they door couldnt shut. I guess because i was like 275 pounds back then LoL. His " friends" eh.

Anyways he wasnt dead. Har har

Was in my first street-fight this summer. Had been out on the town and on my way home a guy calls me a ***got. So I tell him he's a dick and he would probably crawl trough a perfectly good whorehouse just to get to a fat mans ass.
Then he swung 4 haymakers after me which I slipped while backstepping, then he tried the good old kick to the balls and then I threw a right cross. Hit him right in the chin, but I was off balance so quite a lot of power was lost. He still decided he didnt mean it.

Got a small fracture in my pinky knuckle for my troubles :/

 

[Kyryllo]

Yes. The knuckles of my right fist have multipple small scars from other people's teeth. These time are over though.

 

[cockysprinter]

they say i did my first slam when i was three. i first punched someone in the face somewhere between kindergarten and third grade. it never really felt anything special.

 

[Eric O]

Several times while bouncing. Each time I hurt my hand, even when I landed correctly. Unless you just graze their chin anyone used to training while wearing gloves or wraps will hurt themselves.

 

[Yojimbo]

I was 5 or 6. My first year or two of school, I can't remember which. I grew up in a rough neighborhood in southern California and got in a scrap with a couple Mexican kids.

Quite a few fights as a kid. I was 10 years old when I moved to Bama, in 1993. I've been in one fight since then.

 

[swamp_fist]

I was messing around, sparring a friend who practiced Kung Fu. I threw a hook punch towards his chest, and he used an upwards block that re-directed my hook to his jaw. Luckily I pulled it in time not to do serious damage, but it rocked his world.

Never used a face punch in anger or self-defense. Threw a front-of-the-shoulder punch and deadened the crap out of a dude's arm to end a confrontation before it began. They can't punch if the gun's numb!

Yes, and I fucked up my hand on all occassions. As lame as it sounds/looks, the palm strike has served me better.

I have many times and my recommendation to you is never hit to the forehead if you like your hands.

lol. too true. I only have a couple friends shorter than me, and i have one with what you could call the 'napoleon complex'. Well this guy coud slug it out real well. But the problem is he would end up hitting the guys forehead with his first punch..thus breaking his hand..on like..three seperate occasions.

But yeah i was just trying to convince my friends earlier how palm strikes would be effective. Even though they look somewhat like what a womans self defense instructor would teach you, You could really bust noses with the heel of your hand. AND they do damage from real close distance, given you hit them in the nose, eyes, ears (ears are a little brutal but hey)

 

[aries]

I have clear memories of punching people at a lot at school when I was about 5. I always targetted the temple. I had aggression problems even back then.

This happened while reading "Preacher"?
