American - Actor
November 27, 1940 - July 20, 1973

Before I studied the art, a punch to me was just like a punch, a kick just like a kick. After I learned the art, a punch was no longer a punch, a kick no longer a kick. Now that I've understood the art, a punch is just like a punch, a kick just like a kick. The height of cultivation is really nothing special. It is merely simplicity; the ability to express the utmost with the minimum.

Bruce Lee

With the second 'Captain America,' we really pushed the envelope in terms of what this guy is capable of, which I was excited to see. Because in the first 'Captain America,' he's just strong. In 'Avengers,' it was still, in my opinion, a little bit 'punch, punch, kick, kick.'

Chris Evans

In the old days in San Francisco there was a famous drink called Pisco Punch, made from Pisco, a Peruvian brandy pisco punch used to taste like lemonade but had a kick like vodka, or worse.

Harold Ross

I believe in simplicity. Where some people in TNA take the high-flying back flip route, I'll replace that with a punch or a nice kick square to the face.

Samoa Joe

I kick and punch quite hard, and it surprises people.

Michelle Yeoh

Action is a universal language, so everyone understands a punch and a kick.

Tiger Shroff

A fight is not won by one punch or kick. Either learn to endure or hire a bodyguard.

Bruce Lee

I do know that I can take a punch. I've been punched in the face three times. That's, I think, a really important thing to know about yourself. It helps you in life. It helps you be brave when you know you can take a punch. I'm a lover, not a fighter. But, God bless me, I can take a punch.

Sarah Silverman

My father is a trainer. From childhood, I would watch him train and kick and punch.

Ritika Singh

The days of just being a generic, punch-and-kick wrestler are pretty much over.

William Regal

The game has changed since the '80s, where you could punch and kick and headlock and do one suplex, and that's a 25 minute match.

Sami Zayn

I was probably the best that ever walked this earth. And I could take a punch. I could deliver a punch. I didn't have the hardest punch in the world but my punches were sharp and they were crisp. And if you took too many of them, you would be knocked out.

Larry Holmes

A student well versed in even one technique will naturally see corresponding points in other techniques. A upper level punch, a lower punch, a front punch and a reverse punch are all essentially the same. Looking over thirty-odd kata, he should be able to see that they are essentially variations on just a handful.
