Punch (combat)
A punch is a strike (attack), striking blow with the fist. It is used in most martial arts and combat sports, most notably boxing, where it is the only type of offensive technique allowed. In sports, hand wraps or other padding such as gloves may be used to protect athletes and practitioners from injuring themselves. The use of punches varies between different martial arts and combat sports. Styles such as boxing, Suntukan or Russian fist fighting use punches alone, while others such as Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Lethwei or karate may use both punches and kicks. Others such as wrestling (excluding professional wrestling) and judo (punches and other striking techniques, atemi, are present in judo kata, but are forbidden in competitions) do not use punches at all. There are many types of punches and as a result, different styles encompass varying types of punching techniques. Basic types This is not a comprehensive list of all punches and may need to be updated, due to the large div ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Adelaide Punch
''Adelaide Punch'' (1878–1884) was a short-lived humorous and satirical magazine published in Adelaide, South Australia. Like ''Melbourne Punch'', it was modelled on ''Punch'' of London. History ''Adelaide Punch'' had its origin in ''The Rattlesnake or Adelaide Punch'', a fortnightly magazine first published by Haddrick and East on Thursday 24 January 1878. It failed after a few issues, leaving the printers Scrymgour and Sons holding a debt of around £100. Rather than writing it off, they decided to persevere with its production, and momentarily interested D. W. Melville, at one time with the ''Register'', to act as managing editor, but he found it interfered with his lucrative auctioneering business, so they settled on J. C. F. Johnson, of the ''Register'' (later M.P. for Onkaparinga). His team included D. M. "Dan" Magill (ca.1845 – 3 April 1916), also ex-''Register''; William John Kennedy (1848–1894), headmaster of Mount Gambier and Hindmarsh schools, as cartoonist ...

Punch (album)
''Punch'' is the debut album by Punch Brothers. It was released by Nonesuch Records on February 26, 2008. The centerpiece of the album is mandolinist Chris Thile's ambitious four movement suite, "The Blind Leaving the Blind". Thile says the piece was written in part to deal with his divorce of 2004. It was composed over the course of a year and a half using Finale composition software. About 30% of the composition involves some improvisation, "like a jazz lead sheet or a written out fiddle tune". Chris Thile has said that his goal was "to fuse the formal disciplines of jazz or classical composition with the vibrancy of bluegrass or folk music song writing". The remainder of the album was co-written by the entire band. This album, like the group's previous effort ''How to Grow a Woman from the Ground'', was recorded live, with only minimal use of multi-track.
