Haymaker Punch – Martial Arts Technique

This page will help you to learn about the “Haymaker Punch”. This punch is a wild but powerful looping swing usually thrown by amateurs (i.e. in a bar fight). A haymaker punch is less effective punch than the similar but more controlled hook punch because a haymaker is easier to block. For additional videos and instructions on other punches (i.e. jab, hammer fist or straight punch), please visit Black Belt Wiki’s main Punches & Strikes section.

Martial arts punches & strikes and all other martial arts techniques should only be practiced under the supervision of a trained martial arts instructor.
