Straight Blast in MMA?

[Aab]

Does anyone use the straight blast while sparring? I have an extremely fast straight blast vertical fist wing chun style blast. Never used it when sparring. Nelson, John, you guys got any input on this? Obviously they arent knock out punches but what if you can close the distance for a single leg or high roundhouse kick or just flow into western boxing?


People that trained with Bruce Lee said he would straight Blast an opponent as compared to a 40 yard dash. Controlling the center line. here is a video of a guy talking about it if you dont know what it is. his blast is quite slow.

Never used it, but this has inspired me to write a rap song called "straight blast a ho".

I think i'll prolly sell it to Game.

I'm thinking about selling some cheap pen parts and a dirty condom. There is a bucket of health issue deep down in the jungle. Supplements that paralyze other countries for having leg cramps. Now tell me that ain't the ball game treasure of the land.

This muthafuckah right here knows where the treasure is (stagger stagger crawl)...

I have used it many times to set up takedowns. I stand southpaw or right lead forward even though im a right handed guy. Gary has taught us when fighting an orthodox left lead fighter, to use the straight blast as interception. So we do not lead off with it, we wait for the opponent to attack, we intercept and shear his punches as we push forward with a straight blast type of attack. Which usually leads to them running backwards into the cage. Then we change levels and clinch or get the takedown. Its important to intercept and not counter...or your timing will be off and he can shoot on you.

Hey that makes complete sense. maybe intercept then flow into western boxing and a high kick.
