Superman punch
A superman punch is a technique used in Sanshou, Lethwei, Muay Thai, ITF-style Taekwondo, Kickboxing, Mixed martial arts fighting and Professional Wrestling. The technique involves bringing the rear leg forward to feign a kick, then snapping the leg back while throwing a cross, resulting in greater power behind the punch.
A superman punch in mixed martial arts was performed by Bas Rutten at UFC 20 against Kevin Randleman.
A variation involves pushing off from the fence with the opposite foot prior to the punch.
