That isn’t how attacking with batons work. They come from the side because it’s rotational, not linear. If they’re stabbing at you, sure. But they aren’t.
what does that have to do with how is the baton being used here? is he unable to punch with it because you think the proper way for it to be used is a swinging motion? did you get elected the arbiter of how a baton is used or something? this is very amusing to me.
for that matter, even if it was being swung, a hook is also rotational movement, with the force concentrated in the furthest point (the fist), and boxers still roll to avoid or lessen the force of it by moving perpendicular to the swing. I’m curious as to why you think some random person on Lemmy has a better grasp of the physics of a swing than, say, a winner of the Golden Gloves. do you figure you’re eloquent enough to argue many decades of practical evidence that contradicts you? I’m willing to listen to you try it.

You don’t seem to have paid attention to the meme. The baton isn’t being swung.
How the fuck do you think a baton is supposed to be used?

They aren’t punching
they are, look up the video. this is from Chile in 2019 and there are multiple angles of this takedown.
