Don't mess with this guy (but what is a six-bladed knuckle duster?)

11 years ago

My assumption is a six-bladed knuckleduster is a set of brass knuckles with blades on it. Possibly something like this:
10" DOUBLE BLADE SPIKED FANTASY BRASS KNUCKLE KNIFE WITH PLAQUE - CrazyCoolBuys

Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

Oh yeah - that's nice. I want one.

Take a look at the boxer at 16 - he looks 20. 16 year old boys didn't look like that when I went to school.

He probably felt safe in assuming he could physically overwhelm senior citizens. As the judge said, he got what he deserved...as an apetizer before being handed a stiff prison sentence. I wonder how fellow inmates will respond to his criminal profile -- sympathetically?

  The moron was lucky. I'm glad the old guy (old, meaning a few years older than I am) got in a couple of good licks. But hold the guy for police? Restrain him?
  
  Threaten me and my wife with a knife? He wouldn't have been the one going to prison.
  
  The "six bladed knuckle buster" is something like a knife with brass knuckles.

WOW, corti must be STRONG! Only TWO things can make a fist do THAT kind of damage! POWER, and SPEED! I mean if he were super slow, he would have to be that much stronger.

Boxers know how to throw a punch quickly without the muscles being that quick.
It's a matter of efficiency of movement. Most trained boxers and some martial artists never lose that quickness. It's in their nerves and bones.

Muhammad Ali could still throw a devastating jab 20 years after he retired... with Parkinson's disease. It's all technique.

Cordi doesn't have to be fast. The technique is fast. A little twist of the waist, and the fist is flying,. I'm just impressed that he didn't break his hand. Maybe he's still training....or his bones just haven't got brittle yet.

Thanks

Well, even if you twist your hips to move the hand closer, the hand still moves faster. I didn't say HOW it got there. As for the bones?

If you take in enough of the minerals, the loss won't be so quick ANYWAY!

Steve; I'll let you in on a secret. Twisting your hip (actually a quick jerking motion) builds up an enormous amount of stored momentum. You can direct that momentum to your arm and fling it out like a whip. Impossible to block, and it looks like you did nothing.

But if you have the internal timing right, the effect on the person getting hit...looks supernatural.

And about the bones? punching a bag over several years makes the bones in your hand denser. You develop a heavier hand that won't be injured when connecting with your opponent's face or other bones.

You can build bone density with impact exercises (like punching a heavy bag) or heavy weight lifting. but hitting a heavy bag over a long period of time also aligns your joints automatically, and gives your punch far more power than is normal. Boxing is a real martial art.

I was talking to an old boxer once, and I told him that I practiced Kung Fu for years..and he wanted me to test my punch, by hitting him in the face.

I refused, but he wasn't joking. Boxers are the toughest martial artists I've seen. That's from limited experience.

Thanks

WOW! What a SECRET! NEXT THING YOU KNOW, you will be saying grass is green when it is healthy, the earth is a water planet, nearly 75% covered by water, wind can damage buildings if it is strong enough, etc.... WOW!

OK, but it still isn't wise to dare such a thing. Bruce lee was rumored to be VERY strong, and could probably break a jaw easily, etc....

BTW I could put him in a LOT of pain with maybe a three inch movement, 20 pounds of force, and a little 1/3" rod. Just try to pull that stupid mouth ring out!

I think every kid should learn how to box. (Or some kind of martial arts.) The way the world is now, it's a useful skill.

They would have a definite advantage no matter their size, because almost nobody knows how to throw a proper punch.

Check it out yourself--on almost every Youtube fight, the combatants use the ol' big windup roundhouse style punch. A kid with boxing skills could handle that no problem.

Thanks

You got that right. Every once in a while I'll see a fight between two younger guys. I can't remember the last time I saw one where either man had any skill at all.

I remember watching a fight, and a woman next to me said "One of them is going to get killed"..

And I said "Not the way they are fighting". I felt like breaking them up and saying "No! Like this", and then show them what a real punch is.

I lived with a boxer for 10 years. I remember I tried to put him down with a move that would topple just about anyone I used it on no matter how big. My guy was only 5'11". I couldn't budge him. I looked like a cartoon where the baby chicken is trying to deck the rooster and the rooster is just standing there. Learned real fast that boxers have balance from hell and you have to find another way to put them down. Up until then I really underestimated boxing as a self-defense weapon.

There's reasons why boxing is called "the sweet science". Many people under-estimate how important proper footwork is for boxing. Angles are also very important. A good boxer will try to get an angle with his/her opponent that maximizes his punching effectiveness while minimizing his opponent's, using proper footwork to maintain balance, power, etc.
