Gutpunching is awesome, so why don't more big guys do it? Continuing from the theme of my previous entry, blows to the gut require a special amount of my attention.

Gut punching comes in many forms, from trading shots to wrestling with body punches, boxing and one sided beatdowns. But whenever I watch it, see photos of it or read about it, invariably the receiver has washboard or chiseled abs.

To me watching a washboard stomach getting punched is boring. I might as well watch someone punch a padded wall or jab at a heavy bag. There is usually no motion from the surface getting struck. Now a big gut like mine, that will move and shake with almost every blow. The motion can easily become hypnotic. Use boxing gloves for greater surface area contact, more movement and less force.

A big gut has lots of padding to absorb blows. There are plenty of places to hit too. I have tested my gut and found it can take lots of punishment. The bruises aren't so bad either. If you have stamina issues, prop yourself up against a wall. I have seen big guys glove up and box multiple rounds. Its awesome when they hammer away at each other's midsections.

I am strongly tempted to shoot and post a video showing how I take a fisted workover to show that it can be stimulating and appropriate for the big gutted to participate. I can give myself 20, maybe even 30 minutes of rhythmic blows from another man before I am forced to give up.

I love to give punches too. If my opponent is smaller, I can go less than full intensity. If we are using gloves, he may wear lighter gloves and I the heavier ones. Firing shots into another belly is intense, the bigger the better. And if it hangs down over the belt line, well an uppercut will lift it up.
