Hey Shaolin - help me out here bud Well the upward snap does contribute but I don't know if I can explain it correctly physiologically. I can only say that the upward wrist snap provides an additional joint/muscle adding velocity while enhancing fist forearm alignment creating an 'arrow' (locked single unit) with which to shoot. The power in the punch should come from relaxed energy: The kuen kuit for the punch is a rock(tight fist) and a string(relaxed arm). In teaching the punch the main challenge in my experience is traning the student to turn off the bicep and allow the punch to fully extend without hyper extending. I would be interested to hear any additional info on the punch or chain punching.

Coonaxus Posted April 12, 2002 Posted April 12, 2002 It's cool to train your blocks so that they hurt almost as much as a strike. You want to get your opponent's punch out of the way at all costs. You want to make them sorry they tried to punch you. Hehe So, forearm training is important to me in that respect. All types of knowledge . . . ultimately means self-knowledge. -Bruce Lee
stonecrusher69 Posted May 4, 2002 Posted May 4, 2002 to have strong forarms is certainly an advantage to someone who does not trian their forarms.To have strong forarms you have the ability to block a punch,kick and cause pain to the aponent .When you have stong forarms when someone punches at you their punch will bounch off your bridge arm. http://www.youtube.com/user/sifumcilwrath"When the student is ready the master will appear"
Radok Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 You will have a solid wrist (you won't need hand wraps as bad.) and you wont twist or sprain your wrist. If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point. No point in what, you might ask? there's just no point.Many people seem to take Karate to get a Black Belt, rather than getting a Black Belt to learn Karate.
Radok Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 I still don't know why Bruce Lee was so obssessed with them. If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no point.
