Initial ideas go out to just putting paint on my hands and feet and then hitting something to get the colours onto it with punches and kicks. [The video is silent. The background noise is rather unbearable, so I cut it out.]
So, it was a matter of sticking a piece of paper on the wall and then hitting it with paint. Ugh, I dislike the idea myself to be honest, I'm not much of a martial artist or boxer, so I'd appreciate if there are no comments about bad technique xD (I don't want martial arts snobs beating down on me about my technique and errors (-_ -; ) c'mon guys...).

Another idea came to mind with wrapping the paper around my punch bag. I do use the punch bag to at least exercise with and to take out my frustrations with, so I thought perhaps this could be reflected in the "piece" after I had hit it with paint on my fists. (skip the first 10 seconds - and yes that is my garage).
What seemed rather successful are the marks that the fist makes when it made contact with the sheet of paper. Looking at it, it shows the impact rather clearly and it's fascinating to look at. It rather makes me want to travel around documenting people's punches in this manner - but perhaps I'll save that for a future project.
