one inch punch

[sano]

is the one inch punch a ki technique, brute strenght or fake? how do you do the one inch punch can a normal person do it or do you have to be like Bruce Lee.

[kempocos]

It is a KI/CHI in the fact that it requires proper breathing, stance and movment in a flow from your feet to your knees to your hips to your shoulder to your elow to your fist. The training I take refers to it as a wave form. Once you get good you can use other weapons such as your elbow, palm, forearm and generate alot of power.

ok

Short distance power (fa-jing) is a matter of mechanics. It ranges between "immedately obvious" and "takes a little practice" to lern. Some backgrounds come to it more naturally than others.

 

Put your hand on someone and try to give them a quick "shove" (as opposed to a slower push) without taking your hand off first... That's the basic energy.

[Drunken Monkey]

much of the "one inch punch" is about training and how you train.

 

it isn't some invincible killer move that will win fights for you.

[sano]

but can it work in combat or is it a move for show?

[kempocos]

Oh yes the concept as I explained above can be used any time you find yourself less then and arms length away .

[sano]

is the one inch punch be blocked?

[JerryLove]

Yep, same a most any other... just move the attacking limb away.

[sano]

ok.
