Notes -
I don’t think anyone is saying that a punch isn’t just a punch. The problem is the training techniques used. If I learn to punch from a boxer, I will learn to punch against a physical target, I will very quickly be sparring full power against a moving opponent who is blocking and punching back. In most Karate dojos, you never punch another person full power until you have at least 3-6 months of training. Most training will be choreographed dances, punching the air, and performing very light single moves against an opponent who is told to block in a certain way and than punch back.
