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.

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.

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.

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.

i think speed is a reaction to power. so speed is power.

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.
