“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."
- inventor Thomas Edison
From a book by Thomas Edison’s son,
{ “One December evening the cry of “Fire!” echoed through the plant.
Spontaneous combustion had broken out in the film room.
Within moments all the packing compounds, celluloid for records,
film and other flammable goods had gone up with a whoosh…
When I couldn’t find Father, I became concerned. Was he safe? With all his assets going up in smoke, would his spirit be broken? He was 67, no age to begin anew. Then I saw him in the plant yard, running toward me.
“Where’s Mom!” he shouted. “Go get her! Tell her to get her friends! They’ll never see a fire like this again!” }

Circle Punch
The Throwing Motion is more powerful than the Piston Motion.
When I get up during the night to go to the bathroom, My side of the Bed is close to the wall.
If I punched the wall it would push me back onto the bed.
When I circle Punch the Wall there is No backward force applied to my body.
In Physics, When you throw a circle punch, the normal force is still there, but it pushes you sideways (parallel to the bed) rather than straight backward.
Here is why the direction of the force changes based on the physics of your movement.
The Direction of the Impact
* Straight Punch: Your fist moves perpendicular to the wall. The wall pushes straight back along that same line, directly opposing your forward motion and shoving you straight back onto the bed.
* Circle Punch: Your fist travels in an arc and strikes the wall at an angle. Because the wall can only push perpendicular (at a 90 degree angle) to its own surface, the resulting normal force pushes sideways against your direction of travel.
Circle Hook - Pommel = if the Defender is on Your Edge and You Can’t Quite Reach Them.
Shoulder Read- “One More Kick - Pommel”
Circle Punch = If the Defender is Coming Right at You. The Defender can’t knock your hand down the same way as a regular punch and it is more powerful.
It’s the motion used in ALL SPORTS as the most natural way for the human body to Deliver Force.
This is not just on a SHOULDER READ but also on INSIDE READ. On both a “One More Kick - Pommel”
and a
“Feet Before Hands- Lift”
The Inside Move is More of Lifting Motion.
But You can use the Circle Punch to “Hide Your Hand” and make it harder for the Defender to knock down.
Because All Inside Moves Attack the Inside Hand.
So Don’t just Punch
Circle Punch!
