tommarker Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 sano, there is nothing magic about the one inch punch, just a demonstration showing that with proper mechanics, you can deliver a very efficient and powerful strike without having to wind up first. that's all I'm no longer posting here. Adios.
Sens55 Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 Tommarker is right. My instructor made me work on this specifically. I am a big guy and strong, but I was very inefficient in my movements and tried to "overpower" everything. He wanted to show me how much power you can actually generate without fully cocking my punch and trying to knock the target through next week. So, for one of my belt tests I had to do 2 board breaks without removing my fist. It worked. And I learned a lot and I really like it now. I like it because it's subtle inside fighting that can really be effective, and often the opponent won't see it coming.
Sens55 Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 Interesting. In my last post it censored my word, co ck ing, which, apparently together resembles a bad word, although it wasn't meant that way.
kempocos Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 Sens55 - as I staed earlier I use the same technique with other wepons. try when you go inside to block a punch use the point of your elbow. If you connet between the peck and the shoulder( lung 1 + 2 for those who use Pressure Points ) it works real well "If you don't want to get hit while sparring , join the cardio class"
Drunken Monkey Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 and it helps you train your wrists, which are normally the weakest parts of your punch. like i say, it is mainly a training idea/technique. he just gave it a name people could understand (and it sounds cool). the name for it in chinese isn't really translatable and it's a bit long (short range bridge strength/energy/power) and hard to grasp. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
Ben Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 personally, i dont see it as a decent move in a fight, but certainly practising this technique would be beneficial to your overall punching technique if i'm that close to someone to do a one inch punch, id prefer to do a hard right hook followed by a sidekick to the ribs
kempocos Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 When preforming a throw/takedown the movemnts learned doing the technique is very helpful. I have to state Bruce Lee did not invent the " ONE INCH PUNCH " like everyone of his techniques he took it from another style. The movement is taken from WING CHUN and TAI CHI. "If you don't want to get hit while sparring , join the cardio class"
shanemm Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 how interesting that a guy named sano would ask about a powerful punch...heh There are two types of people in the world. Those that find excuses and those that find a way.-Unknown
battousai16 Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 heh heh, i thought the same thing, but i just chalked it up to my being a geek and kept my mouth shut. not to call you a geek or anything, i'm just glad it's out in the opening so i know i'm not the only one who thought that "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai
