Is it possible to fight power with power?
If someone punches with a power hit, and your best response is also a
power punch, can you be successful with your counter punch?
The quick answer is yes, you can make your counter attack another
power punch. There are some qualifications:



1) I'll assume you won't punches. None of this, first your attacker
punches you in the face. You take it and respond with your punch to
his (or her) face. That's not martial intelligence. It would come
down to, "Who can survive the beating?"
2) Exact force meeting force is probably not the best idea, either.
You both punch at the exact same time, and your knuckles come
crashing into each other. Or you both make contact with each other's
kidneys at the same time. Also situations to be avoided.
3) Don't take your attacker's punch at all, if you don't have to. A
fight shouldn't be filled with proper etiquette. No rules. So, don't
allow your attacker to make contact if you can avoid it.


If you have a well-developed power punch, then think about using it
as your counter punch. Consider:...
