Thank you for sharing!

I think you are on the right track with your (chain punch) theory.

Chain punching is traditionally done (making contact) using the two bottom knuckles, not a popular concept for many martial artists.

Was recapping with a student on Wing Chun chain punching and remembered this thread!

My take on chain punching is like using each punch like a boxer's jab. Only difference is that the punches are fired out from the center of the body.

Also adding that these chain punches are absolutely tension free from start to finish. No tension-even on contact.

How difficult/frustating/ seemingly impossible it is for those that build muscle to punch with minimal tension.

Punching underwater there is some resistance; naturally.

On dry land punching with resistance is self induced-resistance due to unnecessary muscle tension.
