Martial artists pause before they throw their shots?
How does that work?
Yes, they do sometimes.
In the first place, there is such a thing called “timing”.
In the second place, there is such a thing called “feints”.
You are a little old to start now, but you should learn / study a striking art or sport sometime.
I would keep the shots you take to the head to a minimum.
You are already not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Sorry. Calling bullshit.
Why are you sorry?
Because you are generally ignorant,
but have a reputation, online, and in person,
as a know it all, blowhard,
who in his own words, thinks of himself as a “hard cunt”?
Being obnoxious and beating up incapacitated pub drunkards when they aren’t looking,
does not, and never did, make one a “hard cunt”.
Nor is it generally educational after a few months, at most a few years, of doing it.
Which is why people in their 20’s who work as bouncers, generally move on, after a few years of doing it.
Or become bar tenders, which is where the good money is, in bars.
I found pausing to be effective when people are holding a tight guard. As an attempt to get them to open up and try to attack back.
It’s just changing up your timing. I don’t want to keep doing non effective things repeatedly. Good people punished me for this.
Feints I also found were good against counters. I have a tendency to hang my jab. Leaves me open to right hooks and uppercuts. But if someone is getting to aggressive with their counter attempts. I would feint the jab and take try to take advantage when they open up to counter.

You obviously trained a striking art or sport.
Thank you for helping to educate Greg,
with your informative example.
Yah but I definitely got some brain damage along the way.
I think will encourage my children to learn and grapple instead, if they want to learn a combative.

Yeah. But i don’t think old mate is doing that.
I think he is trying to get the perfect position to strike from. And it just takes to long.
No I just think you are making stuff up again.
Tell what you think or wish that I said was untrue.
I have no need to lie.
Simple truths have the sharpest points.
About that move being anything like a feint or some sort of timing trick.
I never commented on the other poster’s move.
I commented on your comment,
which was yet another odd generalization on your part,
lacking nuance, or understanding of the domain.
Ok. So other people do other techniques that are not the techniques we are discussing.
If that is what you meant, fine.
Your comment seemed like a generality.
But, OK, I don’t expect people to be utterly specific and clear, all the time.
I think he’s trying to look cool or something.
Yeah. Or try to get the technique super right or something.
But it winds up becoming his biggest technical error. I mean if you are slick as fuck then you can get away with hands down and al sorts of shit.
But if you have a ping. Then you are in more trouble than technique can fix.
Dropping into a a rigid stance then throwing slow telegraphed strikes seems like the same movement he probably does in forms or kata.
Thats possible. I have never really worked from kata.
First time in 4 years…
Not too shabby?
