How important is acceleration in a punch

[Zaroku]

think foreman punch vs a tyson punch, Tysons is fast from start to finish, sure it accelerates, but foremans its slow at the start builds and builds and only really reaches a fast speed at or just before impact or after he misses, Id say foremans punch has a more drastic acceleration if you dont include the starting speed where Tyson is miles ahead

Cake a la turd. Substitute crap.

F = mA

You can throw an arm punch that accelerates faster but you do so at the expense of putting your mass into the punch. You get a slightly faster punch at the expense of a great deal of mass as such the force of your punch is reduced.

both times im using hip rotation not arm punching , i agree with u

We are agreeing regularly! Progress! Baby steps.
Good!

Now write the equation when the head of the opponent is moving into the punch, a nearly inelastic collision. Think Marquez blasting PACman.

A great equation. Potential & kinetic energies conning together, - elasticity of gloves, the human body, friction between the canvas, etc, so many factors. Glad we can always go to math or physics to settle our disputes.
