Punch (strike)

Time you got around to sponsoring a child
A punch is a strike made using the hand closed into a fist. They are usually a bit weaker than kicks, but faster to deliver. Many martial arts such as Muay Thai and Wing Chun combine punches with kicks and other strikes, whereas boxing relies only on punches. There are also some martial arts like judo that include no strikes at all.

Punching techniques in karate are called "tsuki".
