A superman punch, also known as a cobra punch,[citation needed] jumping punch,[citation needed] or diving punch,[citation needed] is a technique used in Muay Thai, san shou, kickboxing, ITF-style Taekwon-Do and mixed martial arts fighting.[1] 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.[2]
The earliest documented superman punch in mixed martial arts was performed by Bas Rutten at UFC 20 against Kevin Randleman.[3]
Professional wrestler Roman Reigns uses this move as a signature.[4][5]
