Superman punch

A superman punch is a technique used in Muay Thai, Sanshou, kickboxing, ITF-style taekwondo and mixed martial arts fighting. 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.

The earliest documented superman punch in mixed martial arts was performed by Bas Rutten at UFC 20 against Kevin Randleman.

Professional wrestler Roman Reigns uses a "jumping, cross-body right hand" (not necessarily the martial arts version described above) as a signature move, which he called the Superman Punch.

A variation involves pushing off from the fence with the opposite foot prior to the punch.
