How do you block hook/haymaker punches without boxing gloves?

[Judo Tom]

bjj has a great technique where, assuming its a right punch from a righty, you step forward with your left leg, shrug your shoulders, tuck your chin and shoot your left arm up and out touching your shoulder to your face and block off the path of the punch. this also gets you into position for a takedown or throw and it is ver simple

That is a good one too. The way I learned it was to actually reach for the opponent’s bicep while lowering your level. As the punch is coming and then trap the arm and swing your hips across his body then yank him over your back for a nice arm throw. Or you can also swing your right arm around his head for a modified headlock throw... In this throw you have your left arm holding on to his Tricep/elbow and your right around his head instead of the usual Over Shoulder / Under Armpit / locked hands headlock throw... Cool thing about this one is that if you slip off the head you can just double up on the arm still execute the throw! and if the guy is really strong and you can't throw him you can step back under his armpit holding on to the arm and end up behind him for a nice armbar, or once you are behind him you can take one hand off the arm and put it around his neck... With this whole sequence he is either going for a ride or his rotator cuff is coming loose. You have to be quick! take what the man gives! you and don’t give him time to readjust to your movements.

The other bjj one is where you lunge at him (cotoure style) and grab is bicepts and get your elbows out to tie up more. then go for the take down.

yeah that is about a 10x better explanation than what i said.. but i do like it.. and what do you expect im a judo guy we dont fight we play

i really like that defense and i normally use it to set up uranage which is basically a suplex

I like to block similar to the boxing block with a devistating twist. As the arm arcs through the air intercept the base of his bicep(just above elbow joint) with the palm of your opposite hand. Make sure to have your other hand up abit and out in front of your face cause when you intercept his bicep his hand/forearm will likely swing in but I can gurantee if you land the block he wont be using that arm any time soon. Its great for ripping the bicep off the arm.......doesnt take any force either since you have his own arms momentum working right into yours.

yse pllus when u swing ur body to block it your cocked for a strong punch with your opposite hand. i learned this at my first muay thai class haha

with a heymaker you should see it coming a mile away. Just duck or step back. If its a quick hook and you feel it coming lean with the punch. I.E. Right hook lean to your right. It will lessen the blow. Otherwise, through a fast jab to through off their punch.

that would work, try duck and uppercut. if you duck, then uppercut, they're still concentrating on their right hook, so the blow will suprise them and give you a few seconds advantage. good tip tho bro

Catch them with your jaw. It's a great way to get amped for a sweep, followed with some ground and pound.

Throw the first one. That's the way I've always looked at it. As far as all the moves and stuff go, everyone has a plan until they get hit in the face. Once you get them on the ground, then go w/ ground and pound.

.357 in the face?

 

[RickO'Shea]

I would shoot them in the face
