No offense James :)
My point was that every MA has anecodotes and stories about how Master Dim Sum destroyed 5 people, 3 dog, 1 cat and 13 grasshoppers with one clinching of his mighty buttock !
Yet the vast majority are NOT verifiable in any shape or form.
We have threads about how Master A can do this and that and knock down a person with the twitching of his pinky, yet NONE of it verifiable.
And then we have Boxing and MT ( feel free to add any combat system that DOES fight and that DOES keep records, that systems aren't the point) with verifiable acts of "mass mayhem" ( and KOing over 100 people does qualify as such).
My point?
If you haven't got it by now, I don't know what more to say but allow me to say this:
Instead of theorizing about what type of "strike" or which way way to hold your left toe so as to make your punch the most powerful, why not view the concrete evidence we DO HAVE and take it from there.
In other words, Boxers routinely KO people when they fight, some boxer far more than others, this means they probably have a pretty good punch so maybe, just maybe, one would do well to see what THEY are doing right ( since they ARE KO'ing people on a regular basis) and take THAT into advisment.
Or we can debate the correct way to hit based on people that are NOT knocking anyone out.
