Gutpunching give/take/trade

Not as fond of the sucker punch thing. Context is crucial to not making it a personal issue IMO...

You are right. Contesxt is important. But with a close buddy these issues don't arise. And if they do, they can be sorted readily.

Unflexed because sucked in your muscles are engaged somewhat.

like to see a guy grab hit gut when hit there

That is the hottest!

yeah man, it sure is. I remember the first time I got the wind knocked out of me from a buddy's sucker punch and have loved that feeling ever since. its kind of a high..

I agree on the high , just depends on how the fist lands LOL. I think the ideal sucker punch should be delivered while the recipient is talking for that total surprise effect :)

Yeah that's good, but I think it's even better to do it when a guy stretches with his arms up high and his gut out and vulnerable in front of you...then you just wind back and drive in a punch to the solar plexus.

Have taken many sucker punches. You have to be really strong to bring yourself to a full flex after a sucker punch.

For sure, and that's why it's best to keep driving the punches in, haha..

Yes, before you can bring back to a full flex. Usually takes me about 15 to 20 secs after a sucker punch to bring myself back to a full flex.

I never knew that little detail-thanks for sharing and some interesting new ideas by extension.

But I think it's more effective to punch again before your punching bag can flex up again ;)

You could get 5 to 8 good punches in that 15 to 20 sec time frame keeping me from ever reaching a full flex. Most likely under those circumstances I would never be able to get more than a 60 percent flex after a sucker punch and 5 to 8 more.

That's good, but I'd keep going till you went down for good!

Great - would love a 2 on 1. But I wouldn't allow you to sucker punch me. I would have a full flex the entire time.

took one in the parking lot of HS once. Friend walked on by and as he did dropped his fist deep into my unflexed gut right above the navel "cause he felt like doing it." Remember the sound of it being huge and hollow and the air forced out of me tore through my nostrils and mouth like a wind tunnel. Felt that punch all the way to my spine and had a rock in my throat for at least an hour. Didn't double over though which surprised me. Still gets me thinking about it today like it just happened.

Hands up all members who got sucker punched in the stomach by some other kid. Either in the schoolyard, or in a buds backyard, and that's why we love it so much.

Yep Mutz... Got sucker punched in the stomach by a cute new kid on his first day at my school. Lead to a lifetime obsession ;)

i was going up to catch a ball, arms stretched to catch it, and a guy elbowed me in the stomach

Dead center, in the pit, preferably when the guy is taking in a breath.

Too bad you haven't taken one more recently. Would have enjoyed ripping an elbow into your guts when I was there in NY a few weeks ago.

Put me on the bench and work my abs over - I can take anything you can dish out. You might want to bring an extra set of fists.

Where do you think a sucker punch should land on a gut?

I let the guy punching me decide where he wants to put his fists.

Gut unflexed would be worst.

If you get sucker punched while you're blindfolded, which would be worst - gut completely unflexed or gut sucked-in?
