By all means do try your “elementary physics” in real life, I beg you. Film it too if possible.
Not american btw, nor easily offended if that was the point.
I don’t need to? boxing and MMA have existed for decades now, it’s been recorded likely thousands of times by now. see my reply to the other guy.
it’s called impulse-momentum theorem. if you apply enough force to an object in motion over a long enough period of time, you reduce its momentum.
if you had fast enough reflexes, you could stop a punch to the head without it harming you by moving away from it at nearly the speed it was approaching you. while no human can reliably do that, moving away from any blow reduces the force of that blow by an amount that is measurable.
in boxing, they call it rolling with the punches. even if you are hit, rolling with a punch lessens the blow of that punch when it connects.
That isn’t how attacking with batons work. They come from the side because it’s rotational, not linear. If they’re stabbing at you, sure. But they aren’t.
what does that have to do with how is the baton being used here? is he unable to punch with it because you think the proper way for it to be used is a swinging motion? did you get elected the arbiter of how a baton is used or something? this is very amusing to me.
for that matter, even if it was being swung, a hook is also rotational movement, with the force concentrated in the furthest point (the fist), and boxers still roll to avoid or lessen the force of it by moving perpendicular to the swing. I’m curious as to why you think some random person on Lemmy has a better grasp of the physics of a swing than, say, a winner of the Golden Gloves. do you figure you’re eloquent enough to argue many decades of practical evidence that contradicts you? I’m willing to listen to you try it.

You don’t seem to have paid attention to the meme. The baton isn’t being swung.
How the fuck do you think a baton is supposed to be used?

They aren’t punching
they are, look up the video. this is from Chile in 2019 and there are multiple angles of this takedown.
