Excellent video! Even with that punch so tight to the body, there's a nice snapping arc upon delivery. All the heavy hitters had this. Ground up snap from shoulder/hip. Also, look at the bag response on impact. There's a lift then straight back no spinning of the bag. Solid form. Real good stuff James sensei!
@@marcvinyard3050 Vertical fist, hit them below the eyes preferably on the jaw. Easy to break your hand on someone's head. I have done it more than once.
@@marcvinyard5413 A human face is not flat. It is not like hitting a bag. You can try your best however a round head, coupled with the opponent movement, means it is easy to get knuckles isolated which is not what you would like to have happen. A vertical fist gives you the best relationship, or don't punch people in the head with your fist.
Great video, it's like a wave, or whip.

Thoughts on JKD straight jab?
This is confusing because Bruce Lee said the weapon moves first then some instructors are saying the body moving the weapon moves first???
Which knuckles are you striking with?
Depends upon where I am hitting and whether I am bare knuckled or not. And it may not be with knuckles however that is a later video.
@@SystemOfStrategy What if you are bare knuckled and throwing a punch with the jab or cross to the face?

@@SystemOfStrategy I couldn't tell if you were punching with the top two or bottom three knuckles.
