aznkarateboi Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 where do wing chun fighters get power for their techniques, especially chain punching? Whenever I see wing chun people punching, they are punching rapidly but this doesn't seem to allow much body movement.
DLopez Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 It's an educated guess (maybe a WAG), but I would say the speed is the source of the power. It's the exact same principle behind speed breaks when breaking boards. DeanDahn Boh Nim - Black-Brown BeltKuk Sool Won"Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die tomorrow." - James Dean
kle1n Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 yeah, some wing chun dojos do board breaking too. Be everything. Be nothing.
Sasori_Te Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 Wal-mart, $3.95 in the energy supplements section. Sorry ,bad joke. If I'm not mistaken they get their power from being well grounded. All power starts from the ground up. In doing this, the whole body is used to generate the power rather than the individual body weapon. A block is a strike is a lock is a throw.

cross Posted March 20, 2004 Posted March 20, 2004 Like the other guys said, from there posture and stance. I was reading an interview with an old wing chun master who said the first think people must learn is how to stand correctly.

kle1n Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 i think speed is a reaction to power. so speed is power. Be everything. Be nothing.
Sasori_Te Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 kle1n To be more exact Force = Mass x Acceleration. We tend to use force interchangeably with power which is really incorrect. Speed = distance/ time very simply. Just thought that I'd throw a little science in the mix. A block is a strike is a lock is a throw.
