Learning how to punch can be confusing. Especially when the gloves come off.
Some people turn the fist, some don't. Some hit with the big knuckles, some don't. Some say you should never punch to the head in a street fight, some say that's crazy talk.
So, what exactly is the best fist for a real street fight? All of them. And none of them. Here’s the rule-
The best fist is the one that fits. And that depends on two factors: your position and the intended target. It's all about angles and contours.
Make it your goal to be able to adapt to any situation. Be able to hit any target from any position.
But be warned, punching in the air will not teach your hands how to punch. You’ve got to hit something solid. The more variety, the better.
Even when you spar with gloves on, bring awareness to your hands. Don’t just think about hitting, think about fitting.
And here's a little secret for you...
Some say you shouldn’t punch to the head in a real fight, that you should only use a palm heel to avoid breaking your hand.
The truth is I teach that, too... but only to beginners! Once you know how to pick the right fist for the job, you can punch to the head without much danger.
So, don’t let anyone tell you you’re punching the wrong way… just do the work to make sure you learn how to punch the right way.

Ahh I just watched that vid yesterday hahaha
I broke my screen when he said punch him :(
I broke my hand trying to punch him....:(
How are you typing then 👏🏼 well done
poor pig buy a new one
SDM_Kenz He used his right hand. He must have broken the left one, as every character he typed that requires use of the Shift key can be found on the right side of the keyboard.

Hey Ando, your point about the contours of the face was well made.
Have you read Dempsey's Championship Fighting? If not, it breaks down punching in a scientific way I've not seen elsewhere.
Stuart McDermid
Yes, Dempsey is a great resource. Thanks for the reminder to go buy a copy! I think I remember him talking about the drop punch and hitting with the bottom knuckles. Great stuff. Thanks for watching, sir.
Huw Evans So many strikes, so little time, right? :) Looseness and tension is a whole other subject. I'll put that on my future video list. Thank you!
Dick Grayson Ha! As soon as I become invincible, I'll let you know!
***** One or two... yes, I do!
"There is no super fist." unless you're one punch man 😂
This guy has the best looking teeth !
Ha! That's just the camera playing tricks on you.
Nah man, you have a perfect all american smile! Be careful when you spar
Ha! Hands up, always! Thanks!
so knock em all out.
Yes maybe that's were his opponents aim for most. Watch you're jaw XD
I punched a brick once, and i actualy broke somthing!
Now i got a cast over my fist
Happy healing. 👊🏼
I also punched a brick when I was small I was trying to be cool at school and said that I'm strong so I hit the brick and got this huge green red pimple thing on my hand
@@bangtanforlife7188 huge green red pimple thing? that's a blood lesion or bruise.
Well just last week I murdered a rock. I injured a stone, HOSPITALIZED a brick! I'm so mean I make medicine sick 😁 (Whoever gets this reference is a real one, lol)
Why imagine punching such a beautiful face xD
Ha! Thank you!
I finally found someone saying the same thing I've been teaching and saying for years!! I even heard guys at a Sports Authority talking about hitting a heavy bag only when they have wraps and gloves on so they don't break their wrist. I challenged that remark and showed them right there I could hit it just fine with power without gloves or wraps and not hurt my wrist. Those things help beginners learn how to keep their wrists aligned and because they do the "super punch" as you call it, the one size fits all. I did a video talking about how targeting dictates how you will strike a target and its something even elite soldiers like SEALs use in their hand to hand training drills.
Thanks.
Best shoes is the one that fits.
Perfect! :)
Are the one's *
Your information, presentation and overall videos are just incredibly good man! I had so much confusion with this stupid silly thing. My body knew a punch changes overtime but my mind did not, so thanks!
Thanks for the kind words, my friend. Keep punching!
Great video! Just trying to learn incase some fool comes at me for no apparent reason.
That's a fine reason. Lots of fools out there!
Shiffy of course, no one would ever want to hit you, Stalin.
Well everytime i go to my friend or others i always get into a fight with my friend's brothers, (yes im a girl) and i always liked to fight....but they all know karate. And not me....soo its useful to watch this channel
Me.
Btw that's Stalin, if I remember correctly
Thank you Ben Stiller
lol
Is that Ben stiller?
Brandon C He is really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really... Ridiculously good looking.
It's Ben Stillers twin that got separated at birth and raised by shaolin monks.
"Ima be like that...like that, like that " lol...
yhat was so random it was funny
🤣🤣
thanks now i can get revenge on my bully for making them do their homework for a week
I don’t recommend revenge.
@@AndoMierzwa I do
revenge? No
self-defence in case they get violent with you for refusing to do their homework? YES
“The best fist is the one that fits”
finally words to live by in and out of the sex dungeon
Very informative. I really appreciate this, that'll add more variety to my training which helps and psyches me up A TON
Happy to hear that!
Finally, the right words about punching. Totally made sense. I subscribed while I was half way in the video. Thanks a lot, man. Wise words, in a proper presentation.
I appreciate that. Thank you! 🙏🏻
I appreciate the positive approach and straightforward advice... too many self defense instructors dismiss any style other than the one they teach as incorrect and inferior and get defensive and quickly emphasize what a hard ass they are if you try to question them about it.
I know what you mean, Karl. Styles should not make us blind! Thanks for the comment, sir. Keep punching!
Great lesson, reminds me of a character from a martial art series who performed all basic karate strikes 1000 times a day each every day since 5 to 55 yrs old.
That’s quite a challenge!
Wow that was an awesome vid, I enjoyed that exercise. It all makes perfect sense
+Goldie Wihongi Love hearing that. Thanks!
thank you so much my man for teaching me all these things, ive been watching for a while.
I appreciate that. Thank you! 🙏🏻
Awesome tips!!!!
Thank you very much!👊🏼
2:30 "There is no all purpose super fist"
I smiled at that part cause the German word for RPG would literally translate to "tank fist" in English.
Jokes aside, super video. Thanks for the tips and advices. Keep up the good work!
Edit: changed the format
Tank fist! I love that! 👊🏼😁
hehe i was fighting with a guy and he made a punch hitted me jaw at the bottom right and broke his nucle XD
You broke his knuckle with a jaw strike.... point for you!
how much milk do you drink lmao
@@jingwei4664 Enough to satisfy his mate.
You are the wisest martial art teacher I ever watch
I am honored, my friend. Thank you!
Thank you for this teaching sensei.
My pleasure, Frankie! Thanks for the comment!
my classmate punch me in the face
...
with no reason
so I punched him 10 times and he got a bloody face
Just glad you're okay.
Francis Solis damn u got issues
sure you did
Ok
one on one you won .....thats easy ....just a matter of time till that catches up to you.....be smart.... just good advice....I whooped a dude and he shot up my house.
Thanks for the tips like my 79 year old grandma didn't stand a chance

Good Training Ando!
Thank you very much! 🙏🏻
Beautifully explained sir... thanks
Thank you for the comment!

+Alex B. Thank you, Alex. Welcome!
Im a very good boxer and still were searching who says what about punch condition and i felt your opinion about punch is really best , i appreciate you.
Thank you for the comment!
Thank You Sensei🙏🏻
You’re very welcome!
Very nice Ando! What an awesome reminder that martial arts are flexible; they have to be in order to really work. So, it makes sense that punching has flexibility too- finding the target based on the position will dictate how you punch. I do practice in the air and on the bag. Air helps me increase quickness, while the bag helps me feel the "real" thing! Thanks for your great insught.
Thank you! I should put an evil clown face on my punching bag so I can play with this concept :-)
For sure, the hands need to develop brains of their own through mindful training. There's enough to think about in a fight without worrying about breaking your hands! Thanks for watching, Andrea!
Joelle White Yes, Jo! Keep a photo album of your favorite people near your heavy bag. ;)
***** Trouble is, I don' t want to punch anyone in particular :-)
Joelle White
That may change....
Best answer to the question: "How do you punch?" My compliments. You honor your instructors. You've been trained by the best.
Thank you for the kind words! 🙏🏻
WOW... WHAT A GREAT THING YOU TAUGHT US .... FITTING THE PUNCH NOT JUST HITTING... IF IT FITS, IT AUTOMATICALLY HITS WELL.... THANKS USTAD ANDO... AND YOU KNOW WHAT IS USTAAD... ITS MEAN TEACHER IN URDU LANGUAGE... I LOVE YOUR FRIENDLY TEACHING STYLE SIR... THANKS ALOT.. BE HAPPY
Thanks for the lesson in Urdo! :) Happiness to you, too!
Another excellent production!
I was taught that the action of turning the fist orientation from vertical (0:23 in the vid) to flat (0:20) as the punch is being delivered causes the two bones of your forearm (the radius and ulna) to twist together and form a stiffer, more stable structure for receiving the equal-and-opposite force that the impact of the punch is going to deliver (to you!). By allowing the impact energy to be dissipated through your arm, you reduce the likelihood of injuring the hand or wrist.
I agree that having proper orientation when you hit the target (so as not to apply excessive torque to the wrist) is the most important consideration in delivering a solid punch safely and effectively. Regular practice with a hanging heavy bag is the best way I've found for developing the required hand-eye-coordination and balance/spacing skills.
Thanks for the comment, Randy. It's funny how every style can explain why their fist is technically sound... and in the air, everyone is right! The real proof is in the hitting. The right fist at the wrong time will break your hand just as fast as the wrong punch at the right time!
Thanks😁 this helped me
Happy to hear it!
How?
Great vid loving your channel man
ma ri Thanks for saying so! More videos on the way!
***** i look forward to them
Insightful information. Thank you.
Thank you for the comment! 👍🏼
thank you very much im learning this just incase something bad happens to me :)
🙏🏻
Ok *Starts punching air like a fool*
*STOPS*
Helped me a lot. Thank you!
+Max Bauer Awesome! Thanks for letting me know, Max!
You're the first person I've actually address this.
Thank you for watching!
Hey Sensei Ando Loving your videos there helpful and fun, were new to karate (Dad/Son/Daughter) and were struggling with keeping a steady stance - any advice you could give would be fab 👍
You're training with your kids? That is AWESOME. You're a great dad!
A steady stance? You mean you get knocked around during sparring? Or just shaky during forms? Either way, give it time. It's not just building muscle, it's building muscle memory! And keep your back straight. Don't look down at your feet! Happy training to you all!
Ando Mierzwa Hi Yes we are training together it's great fun doing as a family. Thank you 👍 for the advice and we will continue to keep watching your helpful videos as well as our classes
Someone pulled my hair and made me fall on the ground and walked away, I immediately got up, jumped on them, made them face me and like punched them in the nose a couple times. And yes, I’m a girl. Then we got in a serious fight. The person I was fighting was also a girl and guess what, I WON 😂
Congratulations
xiimoonxstariix That’s some nice bullshit, what else didn’t happen?
Glad you made it! Stay safe!
@@chickenfingers7177 your whole existence is bullcrap
Thanks I needed this, there this dude at school who keeps pressing me and am going to put these lesson to the test at the right time.
Hope you stay safe!
Nice video man!
+Luke Kuenstler Thank you, sir!
I also want to know that when I puch heavy bag in what way I will move my legs and my body
when i punch my elbow strains and u cant figure out why. is it because im punching too hard? or im not turning it?
+ArtisticPainter2364 Hmm... it's really hard to say without actually seeing you punch! Are you locking out your arm and maybe hyperextending your elbow? Try slowing down and really looking at your form. Add speed and power little by little until you find the problem. Sorry for your pain... but pain is a great teacher!
+Ando Mierzwa haha thanks! subscribed!
+ArtisticPainter2364 Cool. Welcome aboard!
I do this I really don't get how to do it properly lol
+97jimmy97 It takes time... don't give up!
best advice ever received
Thank you for that!
You know what you're talking about. Good job!
Thank you, sir!
This guy tried fighting me so i nearly brokke all his bones like a pro so he does not do it again
It depends on the individual and the condition of the hand of the individual
Definitely.
Thanks sensei!
Thank you for watching!
@ando mierzwa .... amazing....i was planning to get a punching bag to improve my punching skill....and ur videos are great help...thanks friend... :)
Awesome. You're very welcome, friend!
Hint : Some times when you punch someone and he have his mouth open you might cut your arm if you stike his teeth so do not aim for the mouth .
Simple
True.
Yeah, watch out for those sharks
I always punch my wooden door room until it does not feel pain anymore
Careful with that! :)
Thank's
never had it giving to me that straight forward ,thanks ill be pr acting more often now!more than llikely will throw a punching bag up!
That's awesome, Kell! Yes, get a bag. It has much to teach! :)
Thanks for advice
Thank you for the comments!
I was hitting in the air and then he said not to do that
Do both!
"It can be confusing to find out how to throw a real *punch* . That's because there is so much *conflicting* information out there."
Ha, nice one.
This dude is awesome!!!!
Thank you very much! 🙏🏻
Thanks a lot, sir!
Thank you for watching!

Too close to "I use" you need to drop down two more lines or so.
Lol same
Lmao, fuck you 😂..!!
hee I m liker 100, do I get a free punch ?
3Dpixel.be Ha! You got it-- BAM! But seriously-- thank you for the support! :)
Hi Ando! I already been fan and subscriber, I searched how to punch & your video popped up & was what I needed! I just want to learn some basic self defense. Ever since 2 men carjacking/at gunpoint a year ago, I've been paranoid, everywhere I go. A hermit. Hyper vigilant is one thing! I carry pepper spray, & a pocket knife, but I really need to learn to fight/ protect myself! I just have no experience. I want to get punching bag!! Would you say that it's the best way to start out? Always great videos! You deserve way more views! Thanks! 🙏❤️🌈
Wow! So glad you survived the carjacking. That will definitely shake you up! But don't let the bad guys make you hide... the good guys need you back in action!
As for training, there are so many paths. I'd rather see you training in a school then by yourself, but start however you can. If you can get out to check out some classes, though, do that!
Thank you sir
I search this up today because my friend said I didn’t know how punch and I told him how to punch so he just slammed me in the jaw and it kinda hurt so I wanted to really know how to punch!!! Thanks Heaps!!!
Your friend... doesn’t sound like a friend! 😁
Now i see how i got a 2 boxer fracture 🙂💔
Wow thank you! I made a mistakes then xD tell you the truth I love street fighting even I'm a girl xD and I just throw some punches I don't care if my hands got bleed I just want the one whom I punch got a damage. But thanks to you sensei I know what will I do !!!
+Hazel Ish Rellamas Be careful out there, Hazel! I don't want you bleeding at all! :)
You bomb
Hazel Ish Rellamas, Love one an other as I have loved you
very helpful thank you
+Balls McLongcock You bet!
i always hold back when i fight,because always when i get serious(i get angry)if the fight continues i get like that,and i always end up making someone fall flat on the floor crying or screaming...but many times i got my ass kicked at the beggining cuz i had mercy on the wrong guy
+FoxBoy Hmm.... if you're holding back, then maybe you shouldn't be fighting at all?
i enjoy it way too much,but i guess that is an idea
FoxBoy boi calm down who do u think you are their is always someone better than u
You really said it more than anyone else
Thank you for the comment!
you earned my sub :D
Excellent! Welcome!
Thanks for tellimg us
Thank you for watching!
Best video ever
Thanks for that!
Thanks Sensei
My pleasure, Anshika!
Thank you Sensei Ando for your wise and informative video(s). About punching people in the face, one can get some pretty nasty, dirty gashes on ones hands from the other guys teeth. Guess thats just going to happen if you are striking with closed hands...best if danger is imminent, and you can't leave, to go from being harmless reasonable guy to ultra-violent guy very quickly and show them the err of their ways with a series of well placed kicks first...you may not have to punch!
Prepare for Peace! :) did i just coin that?! I want the t-shirt! Please continue your good work Sensei. Staying tuned in Toronto.
Good point. I suppose striking to the mouth with any part of your body can result in a gash. I also agree that we must train to flip the switch from cool to combative as fast as possible. If you need to fight, you need to fight NOW! "Prepare for Peace!" Yes! I'd buy that! :)
I dig it. Subscribed 😉
Cool. Welcome!
Thanks a lot I appreciate it my grandma stood no chance
I’ve been doing martial arts for about 7 years and I just got the feel for punching about a year ago it is not easy but it is worth it
Development and improvement never end, do they! Happy training! :)
