The Mystery of the One inch punch! Well this is what i have come up with! Leaning the body forward an inch on impact gives the punch incredible power with very little effort. Try this exercise stand in a front stance, feet rooted to the ground. Simply from the hips lean fwd about two inches, then back, then to the right and to the left. Keep your back straight! Do this in a relaxed manner, as if you were avoiding a low branch when you were walking in the countryside. Ok the practical: when punching fwd on impact lean fwd so your body is 10 degrees more fwd. The punch will have more power. On the recoil lean the body back. Because the movement is so small it is'nt a strain to the body and the opponent should'nt pick this up. Try this technique on the round house kick side kick ect. The side ward movement can be used on throws, blocks and cresent and spinning kicks. Try this very gently at first. enjoy The Fire Fly
