[edit] Karate punch

Can't really see the point in this article, basics of this are covered elsewhere. Writing style not in line with typical wikipedia quality. Contains unverified facts, and some non-npov comments. Angelstorm

Shimabuku's vertical punch was actually designed to hit at about three quarters of an arm's length's extension. It can be delivered at any range within this point, but it requires that the body-tensing be performed earlier, upon impact wherever it occurs. Timing is critical, unlike with the twisting punch, which thrusts through whatever it hits, if it is not jammed early. In either case the punch is not rising but horizontal. This article does make some unsubstantiated generalizations. I agree with some of them, others don't make much sense. Ultimaely, I have to agree with above. I'm not even sure why the entry for Karate punch should exist. In Karate, there are a number of punches, including straight punches, jabs, crossing punches, uppercusts, hooks, and descending punches. Perhaps there could be a section under punch in general, but I don't think there's such a thing as a Karate punch. It kind of reminds me of the Austin Powers Judo Chop.

  • Delete - per Erich1. Article is virtually unchanged since original, which smacks of WP:OR. I'm not even sure which of the many punch techniques this article is discussiong. Looking at Karate, it seems this was originally a section there that was disputed and then removed, so the author took it here. Jamoche 07:01, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
