Lead Hand Superman Punch

The superman punch has long been a favorite of Kickboxing fighters. This punch has now also been used frequently in MMA.
The punch can be used as a way to gain distance or power, or as a fake kick to a punch.
Traditionally, the superman punch is done with the back hand, here is a lead hand version - most noticeablly used by current UFC champion Georges St. Pierre in his last several fights, where he also likes to add a kick!

Nice, thanks Charlie!
I don't have to win every time, it doesn't bother me in the slightest to get tapped. So I'm able to learn the ins and outs without my ego getting in the way. - Eu

Love the superman punch. Gotta learn the lead hand version. Let's practice it in class!
Ok, Tom so you gotta stay in Striking class next time!!!! remind me and we will work on it!
thanks!
superman punch is really effective once your opponent is dizzy, but not when you would perform it in first seconds of the fight. i got hit by one, it floored me. nice, thanx. by the way, when you move your legs backward, does it increases its power?
sai: raging fury
"but not when you would perform it in first seconds of the fight."
I must disagree!!
Anyone know the "Super Switch"?
Superman punch into a lead head/neck kick!!
One of our fighters and Lockflow member "Crazy Legs" won his last KB match with the Lead Superman/ low kick combo - he got a TKO by Leg Kick!
