Kirves Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 Chain punching is a term used in Wing Chun kungfu, and some other styles, for their "rapid fire piston punching" where you step (or run) forward and do short range punches in front of your chest, punching all the way to the opponent, but not retracting your hands back all the way to the chin guard, or hip chamber. That is the way they punch anyway.

Drunken Monkey Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 well, generally, we train to be able to punch/strike/receive (it's all the same in out books...) with our hands in any position but i digress... chain punch is just a name for continous punching. like the guy says, it is most often refering to wing chun because we appear do it (chain punch) the most. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
Treebranch Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Wing Chun chain punch is more like a piston punch. I don't mean that this what it is called, but it works more like pistons than a chain. Sorry, I think I'm high or something. "It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.""Lock em out or Knock em out"
Drunken Monkey Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 don't worry mate, i get what you're saying. some even say it is like a very sophisticated 'push'. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
tokeabowl Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 do you think chain punches work? I dont really think they work... tokin' chokin' chillin'PRIDE! OKINAWA PRIDE!
Kirves Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 They work just fine. JKD calls it's variation of chain punch "The Straight Blast". And according to Paul Vunak, "When ever Bruce was serious about a fight, he'd revert back to the straight blast."
