I hear they are quite the delicacy in some placesOriginally Posted by SifuAbel
Anyways, as you know, there are more similarities in boxing and long hand methods, than there are differences.
I don't recall Le mentioning anything about long hand, I do recall him giving mention to boxing.

Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

Is very uneasy
What style does the haymaker come from?
When given the choice between big business and big government, choose big business. Big business never threw millions of people into gas chambers, but big government did.

Hmmm...does it have to have a styled source? There are often styles with punches that are identical or virtually identical. Who's to say who did what first? Who's to say that it wasn't something just naturally developed because it is simply a human's natural tendency?
"I don't know if anyone is known with the art of "sitting on your couch" here, but in my eyes it is also to be a martial art.
It is the art of avoiding dangerous situations. It helps you to avoid a dangerous situation by not actually being there. So lets say there is a dangerous situation going on somewhere other than your couch. You are safely seated on your couch so you have in a nutshell "difused" the situation."

A real "haymaker" is not just a swinging punch. Its a punch done so wildly that it leaves the striker off balance and unable to do any other technique.
As in the example below in m y sig.
Controlled, balanced, round punches are not haymakers. CLF is a perfect example of a style that has NO haymakers but many long punches.

No argument there. But what was the point of your question as to what a haymaker is from?A real "haymaker" is not just a swinging punch. Its a punch done so wildly that it leaves the striker off balance and unable to do any other technique.

Oh and I'm guessing the guy in the clip of your sig in 1bad65 that you're referring to that is throwing the HM?

I would wager that the haymaker comes from all of our barbarian ancestors.

I thin Cung Le answered that issue adequately in the most recent issue of Kung Fu Magazine.

This seems to be an issue with some Cung Le critics that don't know much about Vietnamese Kung Fu. So here's some background. You'll find Thieu Lam: Chinese Kung Fu Transplanted in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam by Antonio Graceffo. in our present 2008 July/August issue, right after the Cung Le cover story. We also ran Hong Gia-Internal Art of Vietnam by Jeremy D. Crawford in our 2000 February. That used to link to the article, which was posted on their site, but now, eight years later, it just goes to their site and I can't find the article there. I should probably fix that and/or contact them.

I'm not going to mention other martial art mags but there is a good article about the Cung Li vs. Shamrock fight and how Cung broke Shamrock's arm in another m.a. magazine. Has anyone els read it? I think it was in either last months mag or this months magazine.
By the way, I recently (about a month and a half ago) subscribed to Kung Fu magazine and have yet to recieve my first issue. How long does it take to get your 1st issue? I paid by credit card on line.

I asked if anyone read the Black Belt version earlier. And I just got the IKF version this week.
As for your subscription, we're bimonthly, so a month and a half is possible. Two months is possible if you subscribe right when we put out an issue. What troubles me is that we're about a little over a month away from our next issue coming out, and two months and a half is too long. You should contact sales@martialartsmart.com 1-800-824-2433 to be sure.
