add to punching

“Strike enhancers add to punching/striking, if we want to get more out of punching/striking use the enhancers. Enhancers increase the speed of the punch/strikes effectiveness.” - Marc MacYoung, Getting Hit and Hitting (slight change my doing)

Comments: Striking and punching are INEFFECTIVE except in those cases where one uses enhancers and principles to achieve an effective strike or punch yet still - to stop a threat with a much wider margin of success you need those methodologies necessary to actually stop a threat in the shortest time possible, i.e., impacts, drives (pushes), pulls, twists, takedowns/throws, and compressions. We can never forget the gravity of any self-defense situation and the fact that if we cannot contain ourselves and remain within the self-defense square the repercussions are huge, like the tsunami waves that pound the coastal shores of the birthplace of karate, Okinawa.
