Hammer Principle

Hammer Principle

You must punch in a straight line, and repeat the punches many times in a circular motion.
From a By-Jon stance only, execute a straight right jab. After the punch lands on the target, let it drop down in a circular motion and execute a rear left punch. Apply the same exact circular motion by executing another right punch and repeat with the left punch - you must do it with speed and power. Also you must keep your elbows in on both punches, very close to your ribs to keep them protected from any side blows. The main reason that I like to do the straight blast only from a By-Jon position is that through the years I have noticed a lot of practitioners executing the straight blast in a natural position, thinking that the opponent is just going to stand still. That is not going to happen against a kicker or a grappler. I will assure you that while you’re busy punching, you will be either kicked in the groin or grappled down. You must not leave the lower gate exposed, as you should be covered even when both hands are tied-up in a punching motion. Your feet should not be visible while punching and always have a backup. Have the knees and both legs always ready to use.
