Thanks.

Can you or someone else explain why going in and down or a 45 degree in and down is so devastating to the body ? I am not questioning its effectiveness. I have felt and done it but WHY ?

Against forward impact, the main resistance and resulting damage comes from inertia of the target. The damage is mitigated to the extent of the force knocking the target away, or the target being able to move away.

If there is a downward component, the ground limits movement of the target, so more of the force causes damage rather than being converted to kinetic energy of the target.

Relaxation and yielding also come into play, but all things being equal, the ground limits ability to dissipate the attacking force.

Yes...that's right
