Heavy bag is like the Terminator.
"It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead."
Or at least it keeps going until you can't anymore.

And most importantly, it feels no pain and is very hard to injure.

Your post made me wish I have a terminator to program as a training partner!! Just imagine if you had person that could not be hurt by you!!

I though we alway want to create a chance for that "head on collision". For you to move forward and punch on your opponent, or for your opponent to move forward and run into your punch, the result should be the same. The difference is your opponent will do the "entering" for you. That will save you a lot of effort.
i want to try getting one of those heavy throwing dummies with a handle on its back and have a friend charge me with it to test throws on a rushing target, i think that would be fun. ya you can do that with a person, but at least with a dummy you can purposefuly dump them on their head over and over.

A lateral movement does prepare for a "head on collision." My training over that past decade and a half whether it have been in Kempo, Tai Chi, Shaolin, Boxing, Wrestling, Jui Jitsu or Thai Boxing has been to avoid as much damage as possible. Maybe I'm not understanding the question but it appears to me we're trying to prepare for a 200 lbs man rushing in on us. Yes? I'm going to give an answer that my first instructor always gave us whenever we asked him a hypothetical situation question. "It depends."
1. It depends on which direction the attack is coming from. 2. It depends on the distance in which the attack is coming from. 3. It depends on if the attacker is rushing in for a take down or swinging wildly.
1. If the 'rush' is coming from behind there's not much one can do to prepare for it and you're probably getting run over.
2. Wrestling basics 101: if you can't touch your opponent with your back hand you're too far away for a shot. So if my attacker is further away then back arms reach then he/she doesn't stand much of a chance getting a hold of me because I'm going to move before he/she reaches their targeted destination.
3. If my attacker is rushing in swinging wildly I'm not going to jump into the pocket and start banging away. I zig, he zags and one lucky shot later I'm KO'd.
