ever hit someone with a reverse lunge punch, where the timing, focus, body moving forward etc. is perfect? Ain't nothing sweeter! That's pretty much the expression you get! Seen guys literally knocked back 3 or 4 metres and not being able to breath for about 5 mins after!!
To my karate brothers, as a Chinese martial arts guy of many years I do not know the terminology of a "lunge punch." Could Bamboo or someone here translate for me? Thanks!! When I think of lunge, I think of Nasty Anderson jumping in the air, leaving his ribs exposed, and trying to hit Billy Blanks before Blanks nails him with a great side kick, in classic semi contact tourneys in the early to mid 80s pre Taebo Blanks....LOL. That is a lunge to me!!

Thanks Elite....but with apologies of not making myself clear (whoops), I did not mean the Japanese name for it but what the actual technique does or how it is used since, to my knowledge, we do not use the term "lunge punch" in Chinese martial arts. Thanks!!

Okay. From what I know (srry if IM wrng) the lunge punch start in a left forwards stance with your right arm pulled back and with your fist at chest or hip level (depending on your school).you then launch your Oi Tsuke while taking a forward step. I hope this answers your question.

I'm sure you know what I meant though! Like trying to breath with a cracked sternum!
Where is the punch supposed to land? chest?
