How do you calculate the speed of a human's punch/kick

[GenesisHero12]

I want to know this because if a human punches and kicks one punch/kick in 60-130 milliseconds. what is their attack speed?

Also, would you calculate the distance and time it takes the punch/kick move forward and back or just when the punch/kick move forward/makes contact with something and how fast is the normal human punch/kick speed?

I think this calc blog will help:

So would they be superhuman attack speed by punching 120 centimeters for the radius which give me 755 centimeters circumference times bt 1/3rd then divide by one hundred and divide by 120 milliseconds because that gave me 20.74 meters/second?

Depends on the measurements you used. Also, that blog uses angles for swinging.

If the arm is 0.3m and was in a 45 degree fighting pose and you're looking for full extension in 60ms, then (2*pi*0.3m)(135/360) = the length of the extension (180 degrees is a straight arm). 135 being the difference between 180 and 45.

Also since we're not moving the whole arm (slightly, really), but just causing flexion at the elbow, we can go with roughly half of the length of the arm, so 0.15m.

(2*pi*0.15m)(135/360) = 0.3534m/60ms = 5.89m/s, Normal Human

That number doesn't sound that far off.

 

[GenesisHero12]

I did the numbers for kicking and I got

(2*pi*.225m)(180/360)=.7069m/60ms=11.781m/s PeakHuman?

 

[Golden_Void]

It would be lower. Kicks are usually 45-90 degrees, with the exception of high kicks, but even those aren't a complete 180 degrees.

 

[GenesisHero12]

I redid it with the angle degrees you gave me and I got

(2*pi*.225)(45/360)=.1767m/60ms=2.9m/s Below Average Human

(2*pi*.225)(90/360)=.35m/60ms=5.89m/s Normal Human

 

[Golden_Void]

Well a leg should be longer than that, but smaller angles produce less impressive results.

 

[GenesisHero12]

The length of a leg is 1.5 times longer than the arm so .15*1.5=.225.

If the leg was .5 meters long then (2*pi*.25m)(45/360)=.1963m/60ms=3.2725m/s Below Average Human

(2*pi*.25)(90/360)=.3927m/60ms=6.545m/s Normal Human

 

[Golden_Void]

Well then that seems correct. :^)

 

[GenesisHero12]

If a human has their arm to their side and punches .3048 meters forward than brings it back to their side in 60-140ms what is their attack speed.

Also, what attack speed would a human have if a human punches fast that a normal human considers it fast but not too fast for them not to react

 

[RageComment]

Athlete speed is Fast to Non-Athletes to be honest.

 

[GenesisHero12]

How fast of a punch and kick would a normal human consider someone punching and kicking so fast that they could dislocate their arm or leg.

 

[RageComment]

Normal Humans can dislocate arms rather easily in strenuous situations, so an Athlete should have very little difficulty dislocating someone else's limb, and a Peak human probably has no trouble at all doing such to others.

Dislocating legs is much harder though, and is probably very rare for normal humans, very difficult for athletes, hard for Peak humans, and Easy for Superhumans.

 

[GenesisHero12]

What time and distance is needed for a punch and kick to be considered being normal human, athlete human, peak human, superhuman, and subsonic/subsonic+ attack speed.

 

[GenesisHero12]

What do you think about what I put above?

I was wonder about this because I want to know what distance and time are needed for someone to reach these levels.
