no assumption.
Remember will geer, the guns of will sonnett?
no brag. Just fact :lfao:......wait a minute, that was 1967-maybe you don't remember....anyway
that incident at jones beach theater, where i popped the guy in the chest? I'd been spending a lot of time slapping pavers-gotten to the point where i could slap five of them stood on end and break them. Not a "stack," five pavers standing on end against each other like books on a bookshelf. Not a hammerfist, an open palm strike.....like the one i hit that guy with.
I didn't crack his chest, i reckon-though i'm sure he had a wicked bruise, come morning-because he was off-balance from drinking, and somewhat relaxed...probably thought it was okay to grope my wife, and wasn't tense about that at all.....but i hit him with enough force to send him over three rows of seats....i hit him like i'd been hitting those pavers, with maybe a little extra trunk rotation thrown in for good measure.
lucky i didn't kill him....
I did it once on accident to a partner who forgot to tap. The only thing i did different was the continuation of applied pressure instead of releasing. Hence why we tap quickly, and tap often. If you have it 80% of the way, you're going to have it at 100% eventually.
Again, you're comparing hitting something with hitting nothing. If you can punch a hole into concrete, then yeah, I'm going to guess that you have a strong punch. However, if you're punching air all day and not hitting anything, there's no way to gauge the force of your strikes.
