superman punch

Airborne fist attack

A superman punch is a striking technique where the attacker leaps forward while throwing a punch, extending the rear leg back for momentum—mimicking Superman's flying pose.

Originating in Muay Thai and popularized in mixed martial arts, it generates power through the lunging motion: He landed a devastating superman punch in the second round.
