THE STOCKTON SLAP: WHY SLAPPING IS THE NEW PUNCHING, by Jack Slack

[Better Every Day]

Jack also discusses palm strikes.

Personal note (by MZ): One of the lessons I took from watching the first few UFCs, back in the day when it was without gloves and without wrappings, was how easily even high degree black belts in striking arts broke their hands punching skulls. As I was already training a martial art that believed in palm strikes, I embraced palm-striking as a preferred technique because of this. When I later trained in boxing, I found that even wearing gloves, and with wrists and knuckles wrapped, I was less comfortable punching a heavy bag with full force than using a full force palm strike.

The Gracie family actually TEACH the proper way to slap an opponent in a fight - No joke.

The Diaz bros just took that shit to the next level, 209 style.

This guy threw a ton of open hand strikes in his career.

Open hand strikes are effective.

I can't get past the title, sorry.

 

[Defeat Unknown]

Just read that about 15 minutes ago. Good stuff.

It's curious what kind of intent is behind the Diaz Bros. They both have one of the most effective "mind games" in the sport. These guys come off as dumb in media and shit, but they know the fight game so well.

Who knew the pimp hand would become a mma technique?

How to act like you completely understood that stuff that guy in that one fight was doing, and actually did it first

One of my all time fave exchanges, back in the day:

 

[Hasbeen]

I grew up in the 209. We slap. I have slapped many a people followed by "what the fuck are you gonna do?" and I have been slapped. I have said since 6th grade, I'd rather be punched than slapped.

He writes articles about what people are most interested in at the time. Seems pretty standard.

Over analyzing at it's finest.

 

[rob mafia]

i like how the retard author mentioned pancrase/bas/etc, as if that was the preferred way to strike... and not that closed fist strikes were illegal. a+, more brilliant mma journalism.
