Some observations from someone who has trained with Peter extensively and has a fair grasp on the method: I think a minority here need to re-watch the video if they think this is a “standard punch”. Such a statement is evidence they missed many of the points stated in the video. Firstly, the axis of rotation is on the side of the hip, and not central as it is with most standard punching. Secondly, the kinetic chain is different in that the hip goes before the arm, and not at the same time as happens with most standard punching. If we look at basic physics, the greater the mass and the greater the velocity, the greater the impact. The link between the hip and arm ensures the most mass in motion at impact, and the greatest acceleration, hence the greatest force. There are a few other nuances too, but those are the key ones a few people seem to have overlooked. All these points are clearly made in the video, so I’m not sure why they are being overlooked. This method is markedly different from what is taught as standard … as those who have trained first-hand with Peter can attest. It should be obvious, but I’ll make the statement any way … watching a KZread video of someone getting hit is not the same as getting hit :-) I’ve witnessed several hundred people get hit by Peter over the years. 100% of those people would agree with Rokas that being on the receiving end of those shots is a “road to Damascus” moment where they realise there is a whole new level of “hard” they were previously unaware of. I made the decision to become a student of Peter’s the first time he hit me. Just as Peter did when Shigeru Kimura (developer of the method) hit him. Peter is also clear at the start that what is shown is a demonstration of the basics. The method can be used in explosive, free flowing combinations with fast and overlapping transitions. Again, this is something that all students of Peter know first-hand. Our training group consists of boxers, kick boxers, thai-boxers jujutsuka, karateka, MMA practitioners, etc. We all find the method to be highly applicable. I hope this post is of some use and I’m sure other people with first-hand experience of the method will also help correct misunderstandings. For those who do feel this is “standard punch” and hence a method they are already familiar with, I would suggest re-watching the video with an open and attentive mind. All the best, Iain

I think that seeing a punch like that and feeling a punch like that really would change the way that you look on a martial art for example. The most tandible thing from having watched the punch was that he could generate the energy slowly, comparatively speaking, and still exert such force. There's this process that needs to happen for someone trying a punch like this that the value might not seem worth the time going in: but I spent 45 minutes just rolling my hips and shifting the way that he did and I noticed a huge improvement in body connection. They really comes down to how much someone needs to be spooned fed on a topic like this. Some people need to go to 50 seminars and get all the information. Some people can do things from watching a couple videos and trying themselves. I'm not saying that I understand it after that but it's a deeper topic I need to explore.

@practicalkatabunkai "If we look at basic physics, Force = Mass X Acceleration (not to be confused with speed; they are not the same thing). The link between the hip and arm ensures the most mass in motion at impact, and the greatest acceleration, hence the greatest force." Well, there may be a link between the hip and the arm, but there is none between the stated premiss and conclusion. It would be better to simply say, "Mr C provides an alternate way to punch hard. If you don't believe me, try it for yourselves." That would be preferable to throwing in random references to physics or biomechanics that say nothing upon examination.

I agree this is not like a normal punch, it is incredible how much power he is able to generate. I also think that power is not as important as some people think though, a regular straight right or left hook is enough to knock people out in most cases, especially if it hits flush and unprepared against. Bearing that in mind a person could come to the conclusion that timing and position are more important in striking than being able to generate huge amounts of power.

I contacted Peter earlier this year asking if I could train with him as a one-off, he got back in touch and offered me a private session. I travelled up to see him, took part in one of his kickboxing classes with his other students, it was a good class, they did things differently and wore very thin gloves to emphasise hitting with your two main knuckles unlike normal boxing/kickboxing. Peter took part in the class and was as fit as a guy in his 20s or 30s. I then received some one-to-one training with him where he demonstrated this strike on me as i held the pad, it was hands down the hardest strike I've ever experienced, incredible. Peter was one of the nicest guys I've ever met as well, I'll always class that day as one of my most memorable in all the years I've trained 👍

I took a weekend class with Peter and with Geoff Thompson. They focused on really simple stuff that worked in real life. One of them (I forget which one) demonstrated a punch on me, and I was holding a pad against myself like in the video. I went home a bit sore, but it wasn't until I woke up the next morning, hardly able to get out of bed, that I realised I had two broken ribs. Very impressive instructors.

Peter Consterdine knows what he is talking about. Him and Geoff Thompson, and a bunch of other BCA members are all ex-doormen, protection experts etc, very practical techniques. The ‘animal day’ stuff they do is hardcore, basically, suit up and beat the shit out of each other - the whole point is to see what really works in an aggressive attacker situation. Well done @rockas for continuing to pick great teachers.

Those who think it is not a hard punch, remember that Peter is at least 65 year old, maybe already in his 70th. To punch like that at this age quite remarkable.

Kimura war mein Grossmeister. Urs Spörri, einer seiner Schüler schon in South Afrika, war und ist mein Lehrer. Kimura hat diese Technik sein ganzes Leben lang, er wurde 56 Jahre alt, weiterentwickelt.

Excellent concepts with application. I’ve taught striking similar to this for a long time. The issue with most coaches in teaching these concepts is that they never learned them. I explain the striking as a sequence of things happening with the right timing. Leverage from floor into rotating ankle to rotating hip , elbow and only then allowing the fist to release into target. Properly done, the student will feel a hitch in shoulder as if an elastic band was released on the hook punch. Most coaches teach turning all the body parts at once. If properly done, the punch becomes much less telegraphic as a bonus, and require less distance for power. One way to think of this is that each rotation adds mph to your strike. If the motion is smooth and unimpeded the result is the sum of all those mph into your target. Another bonus is not having to load the leg as much with each punch, allowing for better balance and recovery. Btw, these same concepts apply to kicks, just in different sequence. Shoulder rotates before hip, etc.

This is amazing dude. Nice edit. The slow mo was great.

An excellent video!!! Finally, now you are into the awesome staff (in my opinion). How to cultivate the most efficient movement the human body can make in order to produce the most power out of it. This happens through internal integration of the body and this is exactly what the so-called "internal martial arts" teach (when taught properly of course). Also similar principle with "kinetic chain" of the Russian striking systems. The first time I was introduced into those concepts was from Dr. Kacem Zoughari from Bujinkan Ninjutsu back in 2005, and it took me many years to finally get a grasp of those ideas. In classical Japanese methods of war, there is the concept of Seichusen (the central axis) and how to transfer it exactly as Mr Consterine describes, from the vertical center of the body to the shoulder-hip-knee side. This concept might be found under the term "nanba aruki" - ipsilateral movement. Your previous understanding of what "traditional" MA is, was flawed. Yes Rokas, now you are in the deep waters :-)

Outstanding. I have seen this in the Bujinkan, boxing, and so many other things. Motion is motion. I read some comments below and other people have seen this in there own arts. Like bruce Lee said until man changes form, there are but so many ways to move. Great job!

Leading the tool rather than following may be a way to generate power. In fact it is. But it's also an enormous telegraph. It's like watching a pitcher wind up a fastball. If a boxer led with his hip like this he'd eat a defensive jab before the punch had passed his ribs. You can still apply the hip pivot and force from the extensor muscles of the back leg if you initiate the movement with the striking hand and follow the tool, your timing just has to be more precise. I have no doubt that a punch like this is devastating if it connects. When I was twenty, my flying sidekick was devastating, but I only ever connected with it once when I fought a guy who always opened with an axe kick, so I knew exactly where he would be. I'm not a good deal more confident that a punch this telegraphed would have a higher success percentage than my old flying side kick. I know, I know. I'm the only guy here who thinks this. I'm okay with that. I always had power, but never the speed of someone with a preponderance of quick twitch muscles. So I always had to worry about economy of motion and not telegraphing my technique.

I think there is a misconception being purported here. While I fully agree that this is one great way to generate power in punches by adding one's body weight, I don't like that he's saying it the only way to do it. There is more than one way to get all of one's weight into a strike. Shifting weight away from the back leg and over the front foot is only one way, and one that can be countered by pulling. One can also lift the front the foot and essentially fall into punches. Which eliminates the pulling counter. Side stepping and redirecting are the answers in this case. Another is the taichi method of whole body shifting. This defense is more subtle and goes beyond a mere few sentences. The bottom line is that there is a proper tool for every situation, and this is but one of them.

The dynamics of the vertical punch are found in Kenpo . Let’s not forget the striking zone . It’s along the centerline . With all of the principals of this strike in line and on target it can be devastating. I have dropped a few people in real time with this strike . I credit you for this video .

Pretty sure it's designed to be applied _not_ in a formal stance, e.g. working a door, but I would think a looping overhand right or a hook would work just as well with maybe a slight change in the angle your weight is going. But if you get into a boxing stance that negates the best feature if this, which is that it can be done without revealing your intention to throw a punch...by getting into a stance

@@mackhomie6 But he telegraphs the coming punch very early and long before the hit can reach the destination by pulling the arm back - i don't see any effectivness in that technique in a real situation where your opponent is looking at your every move. Boxers would dodge it to the left and counterpunch with a low uppercut to the jaw.( Easy to hit from under that hand and his weight being forward) Most judokas or jitsu practitioners would also probably try to sidestep it to the left but instead of an uppercut you would be getting your hand grabbed then transitioned to a neckchoke over the back of your head and after that theres a hundred ways it can go... i would advise against trying something like that unless you get a serious moment of surprise on someone. It's a risky technique.

@@henriht1147 you are correct in that if the other guy is watching for a punch already, this is not the way to go. this was never intended for a ring fight and is instead a means of generating the most power at the expense of speed (surprise), which is why it's considered a bar fight punch, but an impressive one. that said, I look to people's feet to see if they're getting ready to throw one and this would certainly have worked on me if that sounds contradictory, I'm trying to highlight he difference in footwork, but acknowledge that there's more of a set up _overall_

"Because I've committed my bodyweight forward, I can follow you with the next one..." No Peter, he's gone mate. He's in the bloody wall. You're gonna have to sprint to follow him! 😂

All about the kinetic chain and weight transfer from ground to target. Simple, effective, sufficient.

He’s also talking about when the person defending themselves finds themself in a situation where you don’t have a lot of time and need to do something quick. And this is what you do!

Yeah he talked before about how when he worked in bar security and it kicked off someone could be right in your face, and you would'nt have a lot of time or space to do something. This was sort of the perfect shot in that situation.

I would like to see some impact force measurements of this type of punch versus a standard boxing style straight punch. My hunch is that the boxing style straight would win. I would love to be disproven though.

I think this style is faster and therefore would dominate.

You may or may be right. I don't know. However the key point is the body dynamics. If you can do the straight right punch with the right dynamics, it's gonna be really powerful. It might be a bit different in a different kind of punch, but the basic principles he's talking about are going to be good in any punch. I feel maybe the issue of which one is harder might not necessarily matter so much because they're both hard enough to do the job.

That's the thing though, it's not necessary just the force that's so devestating but also the delivery. Like systema for example that weird looking punch is basically optimized for transferring as much energy as possible and having it sit heavily in your target vs trying to smash it outright. The main difference is this kind of punch is specifically designed with the element of how it effects your mechanical systems and your pain receptors so instead of one hard fast sudden hit that packs a wallop but you can kind of shake off this hit it almost feels like all that force hits you and lingers for a second and permeates.

That is the basic striking principle in Choy Lay Fut... Fight Perfect should have watched this before they made that Systema video. This is great to have this explained in such detail in one place.

Did a BCA seminar with Peter in Hinkley over 20 years back. Awesome street/close protection stuff that stands up when you use it, including multiple attackers. My fave from that day was a pre-emptive strike against 2 opponents each 45 deg off your centreline. Start with no 2 (RH) *backhand* slap to attacker"s chest on your right, which apart from making space, was also setting up for the whip back left with the same no. 2 to the guy on the left's chin. Sounded ridiculous when he talked though it, but then feeling the backhand slap through the chest pad was enough!! It could be done so fast that a pair of drunk attackers wouldn't know what hit them if executed correctly. Geoff T's stuff is also the best street psychological material I've ever read, and again genuinely works in practice. Highly recommended (as is his autobiog).
