Punch Catch	comment	While some might use dodges or blocks to avoid the fist flying toward them, others prefer to simply reach out and catch it like a softball. Since this is almost always a demonstration of strength and superiority, the person catching the punch is rarely hurt by being punched directly in the palm. Instead, it often becomes an opportunity for the catcher to close his fingers around the offending fist and squeeze. Note that this trope isn't just blocking or deflecting a punch. This trope is when the punch just STOPS, firmly placed in the palm of someone's hand. If they really want to demonstrate superior strength, they will proceed to either crush the hand, break the wrist or twist the arm painfully. If they want to showcase how much weaker the puncher is, they may even punch the original puncher in the face with their own fist or throw their arm backwards to knock the attacker off balance, both to add insult to injury. Compare Bare-Handed Blade Block for when catching a sword instead of a fist and Punch Parry for when the fist is blocked with another fist. Unrelated to the expression "catch these hands," which is a euphemism meaning the person addressed is about to get punched, though the person delivering the line may fall victim to this trope anyway.

Therefore, his defense consists of him catching punches with said chopsticks at absurd speeds, seemingly creating an impregnable wall in front of him until Ranma notices the marks the chopsticks leave on his hand. When he tries it on Akane, though, she just let her first fist stay caught and punches him across the room with her free one.

The duel ends as Bison catches Ryu's fist in his palm, raises it above his head, and starts crushing it while Ryu screams. Cue Ken's heroic comeback that frees his friend before the villain grinds his fist to powder. Earlier in the same movie Ryu does a variation in his fight with Fei Long, catching one of Fei Long's kicks, not with his hand but between his elbow and knee, stopping it dead, leaving Fei Long in a very awkward position and hampering his mobility for the rest of the fight since Ryu performed the move with enough force to hurt.

In The Great Phantom Peril, Jax-Ur tries to punch Superman, but the Man of Steel easily catches his fist. Superman: Brainiac: The titular villain catches Superman's punch during their final battle. In Superboy 1949 #150, a super-powerful stranger called "Mr. Cipher" invades the Kents' household. When Pa Kent tries to kick him out, Cipher easily catches and crushes his fist. In Infinite Crisis, Superboy-Prime does this to Conner in their second fight. This neatly demonstrates that the difference between their levels of power is as vast as ever (Superboy-Prime has Silver Age Superman levels of power making him practically a Physical God while Conner is a Half-Human Hybrid who only recently manifested actual Krptonian powers having previously faked them with telekinesis).

Likewise, Venom caught Spider-Man's punch in the first issue of his initial miniseries. Spider-Man actually loves this trope, though he does it more casually and accompanies it with a wisecrack. It makes the Mook look weak as opposed to him looking Badass, though nobody denies he is. Ultimate Spider-Man (2000): While Peter is first learning his powers, Flash Thompson tries to fight him, and Peter does this instinctively. Flash's hand is broken, and his parents sue Ben and May for the hospital bills . Spider-Girl: May Parker is threatened by a schoolmate's abusive boyfriend who intends to intimidate her into keeping her nose out of his business.

In Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug, (and consequently, in the parody by Team Four Star) when Piccolo fights with The Brute, he catches a punch, then brutally crushes the fist and break the brute's arm to boot. Additionally, when Lord Slug beats the crap out of Goku during the start of the climax, Slug once tries to throw a punch, but Goku catches it and transforms into his "False" Super Saiyan form and immediately breaks Slug's arm. Slug gets better though. In Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks, Future Gohan catches Android 18's punch, but then a second later, Android 17 hits him in the back and then 18 sends him flying with her other hand. Later, 18 catches Future Trunks' punch and then punches him back with her free hand. Goten catches Ikose's punch with one finger. Ikose then tries Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs, but Goten blocks them all with his hands before knocking him out.

Since the fist he caught happened to be the same one the Slayer's arm-mounted blade is attached to, the Slayer promptly responds by extending the blade deep into his skull. In a flashback to when the Doom Slayer was Doomguy, he was arrested by the Night Sentinels and sentenced to Gladiator Games. Doomguy catches an opponent's punch and knocks him out with his other hand.

It works with other attacks and their corresponding body parts as well, leading to foot, horn and beak catches among others. Remarkably, this is a very necessary part to one of the most lethal techniques in the fandom's Fantastic Fighting Style, as having their fist in your hand makes it a cinch to put it in a lock and snap their wrist in two, or do something brutal.

Both warriors's "impenetrable forcefield" is created by them defending their bodies with their open palms, moving them fast enough their opponent can't even see their hands.
