whats the strongest type of punch??

jap?
hook?
roundhouse?

Mine? Right cross. Scientifically? A lead hook. Unforunately for me, my power hand is my right and im orthodox, but im working on getting my left hook stronger.

Right cross/straight right....or maybe an uppercut or european uppercut.

A waveform strike.

It depends on whose throwing the punch.Some people can hook better than throwing overhand punches.

If I HAD to choose I would opt for a right hook to the jaw.

What is a "waveform" strike?

A waveform strike is a relaxed strike that generates enormous amounts of power, and smashes into the body like it was on fire.

It involves no wind-up, no chambering, it's the opposite to a gyaku-zuki, no hip movement etc. You just use your entire momentum to strile, like a wave crashing onto the shore.

I haven't explained it very well, perhaps a member of the DSi could give a better explanation.

All I know is I've never felt anything like it, and only at 10% power. I wouldn't want to imagine being hit with one full strength, on a PP, with full intent and projection. Phew!
