How Do You Throw A Martial Arts Superman Punch?
In martial arts there are many styles of fighting. One of my favorites is in Muay Thai called the Superman Punch, formerly known as a Cobra Strike. This is one of the more powerful punches in the sport. Begin in a regular martial arts stance with your weak leg forward and your stronger leg in the rear. Bring your rear leg forward as if you are going to perform a front or snap kick. Instead of performing a full kick, you are going to fake your opponent out. This is when you snap your leg backwards instead of forward (kind of looks like a hop or skip) while throwing a cross with the fist that is opposite the moving leg. This will result in a “pushing off” type of motion resulting in a stronger punch.
