You don't have to pull your hook punch or ridge hand back. It can contine into straight punch (CLF guy's favor move), back fist, head lock, under hook, elbow strike, or even reverse head lock (guillotine).Originally Posted by sanjuro_ronin

Maybe Emmanuel Pacquiao could tell us something about being off balance and exposed. . .

how many teach you to throw a snappy punch and to concentrate on the withdrawl?

It's ok to disagree Bro
We are all here to learn and share with each other.
There are always exceptions to any "rule".
That you guys train "snapping back" your hook and ridgehands is fine.

Not sure what your point is...Maybe Emmanuel Pacquiao could tell us something about being off balance and exposed. . .

Power though on hook punch unless it's a setup or change to take control of his defending motion.

This is the same in our lineage of Praying Mantis.
It is the relaxation and natural recoil combined with the attack from the other side going forward that brings the first hand(or kick, elbow, shoulder, knee...) back.
That's the whole reason for the emphasis on waist and hip relaxation and looseness.
In the case of a strike which is not used for penetrating with power, there can be additional emphasis on the snap back. This can be eye attack or groin kick.
There was a funny story about Sifu Brendan Lai demonstrating a groin kick on an attractive young woman. No contact, but her eyes opened big when she felt the wind from the pull back rushing past her.

One common "mistake" that people make when emphasizing the pullback is that they don't combine it with the body or core recoil. Then the movement becomes isolated to the arm only. Looks like bad mcdojo point sparring.

That being off balance and overextended is a bad thing?
GM of Hadaka Korosu
Is anyone arguing that?

That was how I was taught also.

The fast pull back makes the gi have a nice snapping sound
You always run into the new student who has had prior experience with karate or TKD and likes to snap his gi with punches and kicks in the air.
A car kills you because it plows through you, not withdraw upon impact. Same for a bullet and a punch.
