You should Fight Beerdy and let watch the video
I'm 2nd generation student of Bruce Lee's student James Demile. Just wanna say the 1 inch punch is real, and it is powerful. But, Bruce Lee didn't invent it, it's been part of advanced Wing Chun in China, nobody was going to teach that to gwailo until Bruce did.
You are correct. I'm 3rd generation from Yip Man. My Sifu was a student of a student of Yip Man. In my twenties we trained in the one-inch punch using a thick phone book on our chest. We all felt each other power through the phone book as we got good performing the punch. I don't know how they did the one-inch punch without some sort of padding with Bruce Lee. Maybe Bruce had a fake version of the punch for demonstration. There's no way we would do the punch without some kind of padding.
Gwilo? Really the 21st century and we are still resorting to racist terms
Sigh even though he didn't practice it ,Jack Dempsey had the secrets to it in Championship fighting
@@josephperkins4857 Jack Dempsey learned wing chun?
I agree with you on the 1 inch punch being more of a push, but there’s also a snap at the end of it. That’s the punch you don’t break boards with a push
It's no push when there's a snap behind the inch 👊!!
Push, snap whatever.. why aren't people calling out that the receiver is standing in a square upright position wich makes it EASY to push someone off balance...
Bruce Lee put the work in, he paid his dues.
AGREED.Bruce had that burning desire to improve his martial arts skills and did. I don't know if Lee was the greatest martial artists who ever lived,but,he was most definitely the best version of himself tho.
I Prefer Your Channel Over Beerdy
1:15 When I hear the word "shellshock", I recall an interview given by Dan Inosanto where he said "What he (Bruce Lee) did a lot of people can't do. He could really shellshock a person with his lead jab ... he had tremendous power and we don't have that."
Bruce Lee was a scientific martial artist genius.
He was a marketing genius.. a good business man that knew how to sell his art in a weak era of fighters allround...
The one inch punch isnt a normal punch, it's an attack that you put all of your body strengh into it, that's what make it special and deadly
@sparta-zh7yk No? Every punch is a punch you can put all of your body weight into.
@@anti1training not as the one inch punch
@@sparta-zh7yk The one inch punch has even less power in it.
You crowns need to look at the Shaolin monk who lives in New York demonstrated his punches, including the one inch punch on a scientific car crash test dummy and see the power behind the punches. The one inch punch from the monk does look like a push and weak but with his body weigh behind the punch and the torque behind the punch is generated deadly punch for real.
@@arronsong3913 I wouldn't call it deadly. An actual straight lead would be more power still.
At this point I'm starting to think that the Beardy channel is an A.I. generating content which has started glitching up.
If you study Bruce Lee he doesn't do a jab... it's called a Straight Lead... it's a very devastating punch... this is what Bruce Lee demonstrates... the participants stands squared for safety reasons...he'll fall back into a chair.
Bruv...the squared stance is anything but safe.. if the receiver would stand in a normal fighting stance with balance in no way the "1 inch punch" would do anything.. the squared stance is the reason it looks powerfull...
The worst way to stand when getting attacked ..
There's the one inch punch and the one inch push. There is a difference. I've done the one inch punch to a 6'2" friend of mine (I'm 5'10") who stood about 4 feet in front of his couch bracing for it and he flew back and sat into it and later told me his chest felt like it had been hit with a hammer. I did it to him without a punching pad.
Another time, I was pressured and insisted to do it by a woman who is a transit bus driver who claimed she had taken many punches and attacks by riders. I tried to refuse many times, but she wouldn't let it go, so I did it on her with 1/3rd of the force I can generate and had a friend stand behind her about 3 ft back. I did it and she stumbled back into her friend who caught her from falling and then broke into tears saying it was the hardest she's ever been hit and that was 1/3rd of the power I used.
So yes, one inch punch and one inch push. There is a difference. One hurts and propels. One doesn't hurt and also propels.
Can we see a video demonstration or a lesson ?
I wouldn't be showing you anything different from what you may have already seen. I'm just saying that the one inch PUNCH is different from a one inch PUSH. One has impact force and one doesn't. A punch hurts and a push doesn't. There are many videos of ppl doing the punch and the push online.
Sure, sure..... keep those tales coming....
@NinjaKu23 They only fell back, because they were standing with their feet together
@@anti1trainingDoes Prince believe that? Careful, he might get sad because you seem to be saying "fajin" is a sham.
The force of the one inch punch - when done properly - is introduced to the body so suddenly, it overrides its internal bracing reflexes. That's why ppl fly back when hit with it. If it's not done well, the human body is pretty capable of arresting any unbalancing force put on it. Which is why you can sometimes "catch yourself" falling, etc.
James demile, Jesse glover , early students of Lee all taught this punch. Its principle is based on converging energy when focused. It’s about the ability to generate power in a punch in very tight quarters. Look up wing chun do, demiles head instructor is there and can demonstrate this punch
There are a lot of Bruce Lee fantasists out there. Quite a few are in the comments section. Bruce Lee was a fast, strong and charismatic fighter with interesting ideas. He wasn't One Punch Man, he wasn't a universally talented fighter.
Bruce was limited by the training methods of the time and would have benefited from modern sports science - he was an advocate of being efficient and practical rather than traditional so I'm certain he'd have used every advantage he could.
However, the majority of the effect (staggering and tripping) on the people he practices on is due to how they are standing - feet shoulder width apart and in line. No one is able to resist much force from there. Think about how people stand to hold impact pads in training, it isn't like that.
I'm sure the punch hurts, if he's hitting them in the solar plexus. If he did it to the belly or pectorals then it would be much less painful.
The idea that Bruce is actually 'knocking people back' with the impact is absurd. It defies physics. The punch is a good demonstration of a concept, set up in a way to make it look spectacular in a demo. Appreciate his skills and showmanship, don't imagine he's magic.
@@HardHardMaster You're so wrong, he was a boxer in highschool, and full contact Martial Artist in Seattle, fought real street fights many times to back his reputation, and beat all of them. He also fought in Hong Kong gangs beating up on the gwailo Brits he despised. You're so misinformed. lol
@@HardHardMasterassuming you mean he didn't compete when you affirm he didn't fight, since when does the fact of not competing proves someone is not a fighter, moreover after all the objective data available that objectively points to the fact that Bruce Lee was a seriously skilled fighter? Can you give an unbiased answer without avoiding irrefutable facts like the remarkable physical condition he achieved through a severe training routine, for example?
However if you watch one of the sequences, a karateka is invited to give a big punch to the chest of the journalist before Lee does his blow and the karate even gaining momentum and hitting hard hardly makes the journalist move, and it is propelled on the other hand by several meters.
Bruce Lee was one of a kind. Give him his due. Look at the punch he did on the guy at the 1968 Long Beach Internationals, the guy hit the chair and slid about six feet.
1967
I'm just looking here and it looks to me like he has 1" from the body but his arm moves a lot further than 1"! It looks like he just knocks the guy off balance.
I should also note that Bruce almost certainly had a very rapid muscle twitch. Not everyone has that ability to command their muscles that fast - this is one of the reasons why some sprinters are just that little bit faster. Not everyone's nerve impulses travel at the same speed.
i want ppl to notice one thing about one inch punch. there are basically two ways of doing it. one way is who followed bruce lee early days or wingchun method of one inch punch, and late bruce lee jkd version. the difference is the stance. early version is you stand two leg parallel facing the opponent, and later version is standing sideways leg kinda widely open. late version is kinda method of practicing lead straight, and focus pulling the strength from the back leg to the whole body to the punch. early version is focused on the snap of the elbow without the whole body. so any jkd instructor does one inch punch with elbow means they are more of early bruce lee philosophy of wingchun+ refined new stuff, and who does one inch punch standing sideways is more of late jkd philosophy of getting rid of wingchun and more focused on physiology and practicality that is derived from boxing and fencing. and taught by ted wong bruce lee latest student.
i personally think that later version is the proper jkd, but ppl still argues and fight a lot. its up to you to decide i guess…
You really shouldnt speak about things you know nothing about. I started learning Wing Chun, when I was 20. Im now 51 yrs old. Ive also cross training in many other arts methods. Firstly... Properly performed WC... isnt a squared stance. When you are fighting with WC... you ALWAYS have one extended LEAD leg. AND... you ALAWAYS put all of your weight over your REAR LEG.
When you strike with the Proper Wing Chun punches... you are NOT merely striking with your arms. You add your Entire Body Mass, at the very last moment... the very instant that you make solid impact.
That said... you can in fact, perform Fajin (explosive power) hits... from a squared stance.. AND... you can even perform it, just as effectively... if you are sitting down in a chair.
You should realize... that many people in JKD circles... only know the Explosive Push version of the Inch punch (which most of them actually only demo a 3" strike.. not an actual inch of distance). You see, Lee knew the Impact version... but he only taught it to a 2 of his students.. and made them promise never to show / tell anyone. But after Lees passing... James DeMile released a small book about the real impact version.. and Ive seen ancient footage from a video that he also made on the technique. In the real version... when the OP is struck... he barely will move, if he moves at all. Instead, the power will be so concentrated... that his internals will be torn up.. or even Ruptured (depending on how much power you choose to release).
I mastered lethal levels of Fajin expression (within less than 2 inches of travel) long before I ran into that book. And let me tell you... it was very easy to Knock out fighters from my mostly extended LEAD guard hand, from a standard Wing Chun stance (squared shoulders, with one extended lead foot). I used less than 6 inches of travel... and I never used more than about 15% of the potentials that I was capable of delivering, to cause these KOs.
One of the last MMA fighters I did a Demo for... At one point in the match... he tried to strike my abdomen.. and I used a downwards vectored forearm deflection, with Only about 10% level of Fajin expression on it. But even that was way too much power. In less than an hours time, his wristbone area swelled up almost double in size... and he was in Severe pains for many days to follow. This is how PROPER, internally powered, and fully MASTERED, Wing Chun, functions. Unfortunately, most modern WC practitioners, have never trained long and or hard enough... to reach Mastery of Anything that they learned. And... most of them... have lost the Internal Training aspects of the art. They tend to train it like a hard style of Karate, instead of the Soft Internal art, that its supposed to be.
So.. like Ive said... Please stop speaking about Wing Chun, like you actually know what you are talking about. You really dont know anything about it.
Furthermore Lees methods were Not derived from fencing. He merely used fencing as a means of covering up the Wing Chun training, that he was teaching his students. He didnt want to have to explain his lack of a proper teaching degree + a lack of Lineage. The truth is... that Wing Chuns core foundational principle.. is all about Interceptions (arm and leg fencing). Thing is... Lee never got deep enough into WCs teachings... to even Learn WCs advances Leg Fencing methods (which operate somewhat similarly to WCs hand tech methods). In fact, Im not even certain if Lee even learned the footwork from WC.. because its typically taught in the 2nd level of WC.. and Lee had not even completed the 1st level of WC.. AFAIK.
@@johndough8115 i think you are exactly saying what i was trying to say. anyways there are two types of one inch punch, and you are explaining the first method and the philosophy of it. maybe i was wrong to say early method was "just elbow snap", but the anyway demonstration is same with the stance. and his later version is from fencing, and it is same from fencing lunge. anyway as i said i personally think later version is more proper bruce lee's jkd philosophy . it is my personal assessment. and also as i said ppl still argue which is more proper to bruce lee's jkd philosophy. i am not saying the early version or the wingchun method is wrong or not right.
maybe as you said bruce lee didn't know proper wingchun, but whatever the reason few years before bruce lee died he felt not enough with wingchun he knew, probably as you said because he didn't knew enough, and he looked in to boxing and fencing and other martial arts, and came up with different stuff and closed all his schools, and chose ted wong as his only student because he had only little of boxing experience. he wanted who didn't knew chinese martial arts so it won't influence their thoughts.
anyways, since wingchun or jkd hasn't been proven in proper setting whatever the reason is, so idk, and i said its up to you to decide.
@@AppleFrogTomatoFace but the anyway demonstration is same with the stance.
- You need to understand... that the "Stance" doesnt matter, as far as Fajin power goes. I can generate lethal potentials, from a squared stance... and exactly the SAME forces, as from a side-stance.
it is same from fencing lunge.
- Have you ever seen a Shaolin Longfist Punch? You typically parry the OPs attack with one arm, then step forwards while executing an extended lead hand punch. Its the same exact movement... and its in almost EVERY Chinese Art. In fact, Its even used in Wing Chun... if you are wielding the Long-Boat Pole (weapon).
- Do you know why Wing Chun chooses not to turn sidewards to get an extended reach, for their punches?
- Let me tell you a little story, about sparring a fighter that knew about 7 different arts. JKD, Some Wing Chun, 5 Animal Style, Shaolin Longfist, Mantis, and a few others. He was parrying and shutting down every attack I launched at him, with ease. As such... I eventually got Impatient, and Desperate for a hit... so I decided to try to extend my Reach... by turning and extending my punches. Can you guess what happened?
- The exact moment I over-reached.. is the exact moment he launched a counterstrike to my (now opened) Ribcage.. with a powerful Palmstrike. I tried the same foolishness a few more times... and every single time that I tried it... he caught me, and made me pay dearly for it.
- You see, when you execute an Elbow Down punch... Your elbow actually protects your ribcage, through MOST of the punches travel. And, if you remain in a squared stance.. And the OP manages to parry your lead vertical punch... you have a MUCH better chance to defend against their counter-strike. Where as, if you are in a full side stance when they parry your lead... then can easily get to your back / spine (attacking the spine, and or choking you out). Another issue with the extended lead... is if the OP catches your attempted strike... using an instant dual-hand ARM BREAK movement (Jeep Sao. Where one arm pushes the elbow upwards... while the other hand pushes the forearm downwards). That, or they can simply grab your arm/wrist.. and Yank you forwards.. using your own momentum against you.. and uprooting you, sending you flying (or flying into their own counter attack).
- So... while, a Long Distance strike has the potential to reach further. However, it comes with great Risks involved. Some of the Risks are reduced.. in the ways that they use the technique. They allow you to get extremely close in range.. as they Parry your lead attack... and then, since you were just parried.. and are now wide opened + at close range... they can step deeply through you... with a Very powerful strike, that can actually take you right off your feet.. and sending you flying through the air.
- Wing Chun's main core principle, is "Safety First". The art was created by an underground movement, that was trying to take over the corrupted govt. of that era. They have a very limited number of Rebellion fighters... compared to the massive number of the Emperor's Soldiers. As such... they didnt want to train their rebel fighters for 6 years... only to have them get Destroyed in the first 10 seconds of a fight. This is why Wing Chun is extremely careful.. to have as many protections, and take as few Risks, as possible. You dont tend to strike an Attacker... until you have parried the OPs lead arm, as well as have pinned their Rear arm. So.. you are almost always only striking the Attacker.. when they are UNABLE to strike back / counter.
- While this may seem to limit you... I assure you, that when its done properly, it takes your fighting abilities to the next level. For one thing, you become virtually untouchable to the OP. And eventually, the OP will get so upset that they cant get anything on you... that they will no longer remain at a long distance... and instead, will try to step in closer ranges... to try to hit you.
- Another major issue with the side-stance extended lead punch... is that if it gets parried... you have all of your mass directly over your LEAD Leg. A good fighter, could easily sweep your lead leg at that point.. or simply kick it... and instantly end the fight. Lee wasnt used to sparring against OPs have had short range power in their kicks... so for Lee, this weight shift to the lead, was never much of an issue that he would have had to worry about. However, if Lee had sparred someone in the Chinese arts... like Wing Chun... then a short range kick to his own lead leg... would have been a major problem.
- Now... A few more things, about Stances:
- How would you stand, if you were holding TWO fencing foils? Would you stand in a side-stance... and limit your 2nd swords abilities? Or would you square you stance... allowing both swords to be able to reach the OP at Any moment in time? Where you can use One sword to PARRY the OPs attack... and the OTHER sword to Stab the OP at the same exact moment in time?
- Any competent swordsman, that is wielding dual swords, is going to square up. This includes Fencers.
- Each Limb you have, is considered to be a Fencing Foil / Sword. Since you have two arms... and you dont want to LIMIT your abilities in using them both at the same time... then you square up.
think later version is more proper bruce lee's jkd philosophy
- To be real, JKD was never a Finished "Artform". Lee was trying a bunch of Ideas out... and he would routinely discover that his methods didnt work very well
@@AppleFrogTomatoFace Part 2: maybe as you said bruce lee didn't know proper wingchun
- Lee knew a Small percentage of WC, and that small amount, gave him a major advantage against Western Sportized arts. However, he was often still doing much of it incorrectly.. and he was also missing a lot of the higher level knowledge.
but whatever the reason few years before bruce lee died he felt not enough with wingchun he knew, probably as you said because he didn't knew enough, and he looked in to boxing and fencing and other martial arts
- Thats not how things went down. When Lee came to the states, he no longer had any access to Wing Chun. As such, he started learning other arts methods, from the various artists around him. When he went up against Wong Jack Man (A VERY skilled fighter, that was wrongfully lied about by Lee and Lees camp).. Lee discovered that his Cardio was Garbage, and that his strikes were too weak. This causes Lee to change his training methods, and his training Intensity. He Doubled his training efforts, started getting Jacked from weights and hardcore exercises, and worked on his Cardio.. by running several miles (in addition to many other things). Since he couldnt figure out how to use WC's close range methods against Wong... Lee decided to try the longer range Boxing strikes. This also initially gave him more powerful strikes... because a longer runway, equates to more Kinetic energy potentials.
- However, I speculate that when Lee fought Wong, that Wong struck Lee with a few short range Fajin strikes (as Wong was a high level Internal based Artist). Wong would have limited his power, so as not to harm Lee... but these hits would have felt VERY different from what Lee was used to feeling. As a result.. I believe Lee made the realization, about what Internal Power was.. and he Wanted it for himself. Not long afterwards... Lee would dedicate a large amount of effort, trying to discover how to perform such hits, himself. When he fully mastered short range power potentials.. is likely when he would start to do One Inch Punch demonstrations. That said.. Im merely speculating based on LOGIC. I have not yet checked the timeline, to verify this.
and closed all his schools
- Lee closed his Schools, when he got super busy in his film career (not for any other reason). Realize, that Lee actually never really liked teaching others. He only did it, for the cashflow.. and to use his students as "Practice Dummies". His own students verify that, in some of the tales that they have told. Such as how Lee refused to teach some of his students, some material that they missed. Lee didnt want any of them to be capable of what he was doing.. because then, they would potentially become a threat to his own Image and Abilities. That could have destroyed his Film Career potentials. Its also why Lee, and Lees camp... Lied about the Wong fight details (read each of their accounts, and each are Wildly different in details).
- What a lot of JKD / Fanboys dont know, is that Lee never stopped learning Chinese arts methods. Lee was bribing local schools top students, to teach him their arts methods. Also, when Lee got a lot of Cash from his films... Lee went to Hong Kong, to visit Yipman. Lee had bags of Cash in his hands... trying to bribe Yipman into speed-teaching him the rest of the Wing Chun system.
- When Yipman refused.. Lee traveled to Australia, to meet up with his childhood friend, William Cheung. Cheung was the one whom got Lee into Yipmans school, and now he was a direct Disciple of Yipman. However, Cheung also refused Lees bribes, because he didnt want to damage his relationship with Yipman. However, Cheung convinced Yipman to allow some more training.
- There was a Hefty "Catch", however. Yipman stated, that Cheung was not allowed to verbaly explain anything that he was teaching. He was only allowed to show him things "physically". The reason, is that Yipman didnt want others to find out, that Lee was getting special treatment. You see, each lineage of WC, has special descriptions of things. If anyone from Yipmans lineage heard Lee using the same terms... they would have figured out that Lee got special training from Yipmans lineage. However, it also may have been that Yipman really didnt want Lee to succeed. Because Yipman was still worried about spreading WC to foreigners.. and the potential for it to eventually harm the Chinese.
- The thing about WC.. is that a lot of the Drills are not meant to fully represent actual combat. Some of them are merely for developing dual arm coordination, as quickly as possible (like Chi Sao / Sticky Hands). Lee was expressing how unrealistic a lot of these drills that Cheung was teaching him... But Cheung couldnt tell Lee... why his ideas was wrong.
- Due to the lack of training time that Lee had... (between his filming schedules) Lee didnt get to learn that much more of Wing Chun... before leaving to film some more. And not too long after this session, Lee passed away. You can read more details about all of this, directly from William Cheungs own Website.
anyways, since wingchun or jkd hasn't been proven in proper setting
- lol. Dude, The Chinese combat arts, have over 2000 years worth of being Effective in actual Combat. The combat arts, were their daily way of life. There was no real Police to help you, in pre-industrial China. Either you had the skills to protect yourself... or you likely didnt live too long.
- Also.. Ive used Wing Chun exclusively, when Ive sparred against other artists. I used to spar almost every weekend. Most of the time it was heavy, or full contact. And most of the time, its was often against a much larger and stronger OP (as back then, I was 6ft tall.. but only weighed about 150 lbs). I was training 365 days a year, anywhere from 4 to +8hrs a day, every day.. at max potentials.. for a solid 5 years, before I eased up a bit. By my 3rd year at that pace.. I was defeating the local blackelt fighters, with fair ease. By my 5th year, I was virtually untouchable... and I had developed Lethal levels of short range power. To one extremely disrespectful fighter.. Ive dropped him in a 1 second round, via kick to his Kneecap. Though, I only used about 10 to 15% on that kick... it took a month for him to fully recover.
- That said.. Modern WC is missing certain things in its teachings. For example.. its often missing the CORE workout routine. It also lacks a more complete Iron Body conditioning routine. And a few other things. The reason, is because the original rebel fighters that learned this art... already had strong foundational training from OTHER Chinese arts. Their WC training, was an Extension to the stuff they already knew... so the typical Chinese "Foundational" training/conditioning, was never added into the art.
In my twenties we trained in the one-inch punch using a thick phone book on our chest. I'm now 53. We all felt each other power through the phone book as we got good performing the punch. I don't know how they did the one-inch punch without some sort of padding with Bruce Lee. Maybe Bruce had a fake version of the punch for demonstration. There's no way we would do the punch without some kind of padding.
Its funny that 6' 4'' 225 # dude in the video only looks about 2 inches taller than Bruce Lee who was 5' 8''. And that guy is standing in a position where he is off balance and not in a fighting stance. So any reasonable push would knock him over. (not really knock but put him off balance, then he falls backwards)
Bruce was 5.7
As an old practioner of JKD from the 80s. I agree with you.
At 31 years old, Bruce Lee still one of my heros 🙏 🔥 🐉 🐲 🀄
@@HardHardMasterNo, maybe he does research and take objective conclusions
I always took the one inch punch as part stage magic and part concept of generating power in tight spaces. Yeah you aren't gonna really send someone with a good base flying but the concept and physical application are also very real.
I been telling people, but do they listen? No 🥺
Like yeah, these guys are standing with feet together
Wrong!! Bruce Lee was superhuman!!
@@RickRogers-o8m lolll
Great Episode, Glad that we can find the truth in this channel. I wanted to add that in one of the John little books I believe its letters to the Dragon. Someone mentioned the 1 inch punch and he answered the question concerning that the person receiving the punch their feet were together so it is easy for the person to fall back. If I recall Bruce told the person that it is true but if the person was not square up, the punch would have done more damage. Thanks for posting this. By the way I am friends with the Sifu Alex Richter, Charles Damiano and Hector Martinez. Great people.
@@luisvelazquez5420 I think I've conversated with Alex
Bro!! Just got done watching the Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan video and commented. So rounded back to this one!! Another great episode!! Peace Bro!!
Can't be mad at you for keeping it real, nothing you said makes anyone lose respect for the man as the respect you have for him also remains unchanged. Bruce lee remains an icon and an enigma who's mystery might never be solved.
The 1" punch is to be used in close up clinch, whereas the wrist snapped up below the rib cage and fist at a slight angle. The fist strikes with the bottom 3 knuckles as the wrist snaps up. The punch is designed to collapse the lungs. The movement starts from the foot, to knee, to hip, to shoulder, to elbow, to wrist. I have been able to pull this punch off in demo but never attempted in a fight (I'm not saying I generated the full power of Bruce Lee). When the person in front of you is standing perpendicular to you it's easier to move him. I don't think the video is a push. Look at his foot at the start of the punch. I have trained with Dan Inosanto, Larry Hartsell, Gary Dill, Rick Tucci, Paul Vunak, Fransis Fong and Taky Kimura, all JKD students. The 1" punch was not high on the list. I had to laugh at a 4th dan being called a Grand Master. As far as Bruce Lee's speed, Dan Inosanto related some stories at a dinner table I had the pleasure of attending. Bruce Lee's speed was the real deal but unfortunately there are no recordings of his speed. Sifu James Demile did have an excellent book on how to train for the one-inch punch.
I unsub'ed beard after finding you. I love Bruce... But I think he would like to be remembered as a real person rather than a mystical unicorn
talks about the day Bruce Lee visited the Dominican Republic with John Rhee. He even had sparring sessions with many martial artists from that country. Greetings from Argentina.
What is Amazing is the guy was only 5' 7 or 5'8 & 140 pounds on a good Day, he wasn't 6 foot 200 pounds, people who new him talk about how Strong & fast he was, u can Tell he nail some of them guys it wasn't a PUSH
To needlessly clarify things, and this is something I learned fairly recently, what everyone calls the one-inch punch with the extended hand is actually the THREE-inch punch. The TRUE one-inch punch is done with a closed fist and the second knuckle of the index finger extended, you guessed it, one inch. It's not as dramatic as its three-inch cousin, which also incorporated a push for added effect. As for the recipient standing square instead of bracing with one leg back, well, the answer is pretty obvious: They wouldn't have moved as much but would've felt a lot more pain from absorbing more of the punch's energy-NOT a good demo for the audience and certainly not for the volunteer. And Lee also did a no-inch punch with a closed fist, or with his hand open and flat against you.
In fact, the son of one his teachers in Seattle said Bruce would sometimes drop by for dinner and had him stand in front of the couch holding a pillow as Bruce held his hand out like for the three-inch punch, asking the family to "tell me if you see me move." They didn't. However, the son fell back on the couch like he was pushed. And I believe when Dan Inosanto visited Hong Kong and remarked at how skinny his sifu had gotten, one of the things Bruce did to show him he hadn't lost his power was to flick his shoulder against Dan and knock him forcefully onto the hotel couch. Those couches sure got a workout, didn't they, lol?
This was so staged why hasn’t the one inch punch been replicated by someone else by now?
It's kind of like Hulk Hogan . Without all the embellishments, he's still had a spectacular career. If you just told the truth, it's impressive enough. When it comes to Bruce Lee, as a martial artist, of course I hold a special place for the guy, but more than the 1 inch punch, I love how he took styles and blended them, and pointed out where he got certain ideas from. Some of the best fighters, in reality and in fiction, switch techniques, on the fly. It inspired me to train in a variety of styles. Plus, I grew up small.
He didn’t blend. This is misinformation that’s got out of hand.
@@axelstone3131He absolutely blended. What are you talking about? He was actually working with Larry Hartsell to blend more before he died.
@@StandWatie1862 incorrect. If you knew anything about Bruce Lee you would know that in the beginning, he cross trained to an extent to find the WEAKNESSES of each system, how to exploit them, not to necessarily use them.
“The best fighter is not a Boxer, Karate or Judo man. The best fighter is someone who can adapt on any style. He kicks too good for a Boxer, throws too good for a Karate man, and punches too good for a Judo man” - Bruce Lee.
This does not mean you use grappling to fight a grappler and so on.
Adapting doesn’t mean adding. It means being able to circumvent the opposing style by superior body mechanics, footwork, attributes, not style.
By 1966 Bruce was already removing a lot of the things he crossed trained because his ininital goal is wanting to create a “super” gung fu style, taking the best of each style, wasn’t practical or efficient. This is the mma approach.
Bruce Lee 50 years ago discarded this idea for something more simple, streamlined and direct which was Jeet Kune Do.
JKD is a highly refined and specialised martial art that Bruce Lee himself believed only 1 in 10,000 would understand let alone be able to pull off.
The three guiding principles of simplicity, directness and efficiency (non- classical) are what make it work.
If everyone applied these principles they would be more efficient in their own martial art but they don’t. The idea of simplicity and directness goes right over most people’s heads.
Bruce Lee even wrote a letter to one of his own students known as the XYZ letter where he told him to stop trying to blend JKD with karate.
There is also nowhere in the JKD curriculum, with any of Bruce’s students that say
Monday: grappling
Tuesday: throws and locks
Wednesday: how to mix different arts together
It simply doesn’t exist. It’s not what Bruce taught and not how he trained himself.
Yes, he did know grappling, he knew judo, Japanese jujutsu, chin-na (Chinese joint locking) and catch wrestling
But if you look as Bruce’s training diary’s he spent the majority of his time (25 to 30 hours a week) practicing simple and direct techniques such as the finger jab, side kick, punch’s, kicks (thousands of reps per week) footwork, body mechanics, on top of training his closing speed, which nobody even trains.
Bruce cares about one thing and that was winning. This is also why he spent so much time on reaction lag time, reflex training and many other non-technique based training that again is rarely taught or trained by the majority of people.
That is JKD. Not mixing arts together and hoping that somehow under pressure you can pull something off.
@@axelstone3131 No JKD is adapting your style. What works for you. I have practiced under Concepts and it's not incorrect.
@@StandWatie1862 concepts is not Bruce Lee’s JKD. It is Dan Inosanto’s interpretation of it. You have been fed a lie. Concepts is the entire reason why JKD guys look nothing like Bruce Lee’s JKD.
What works for you is bs.
We all have two arms and two legs. There are variables based on height/weight/balance issues but what is direct is simply body mechanics, distance and timing.
It is not about style, it’s beyond style.
Do you even know what the progressive weapons chart is? I bet they don’t teach you about that in concepts class. I suggest you look it up, it is why JKD works.
JKD is it’s own thing, it has it’s own techniques, body mechanics, and footwork. Bruce Lee was very clear about what he was doing. It is very strange you concepts guys can’t grasp the idea of simplicity and directness.
Iirc there's supposedly an old video (heard about this over 25 years ago) wherein there is a set of 4 frames in which the first frame shows Lee beginning the punch, the second frame was before contact, the third frame showed his fist in almost the same position post contact, and the last frame showed the conclusion of the movement.
It waa supposedly proof that Lee was so fast that he deliberately slowed his punches down for movies so that he wouldn't be accused of removing frames (ie special effects)
We should read Buce Lee's book. Cause it looked like the one pinch punch was used for demonstration, to display the power one can attain from martial arts training. It is martial art after all. Art. The martial artist would use any clean tool in his shead, in any from the artist would like.
Hello Prince, I like everything you create here about Bruce Lee, im not an expert of anything but i wondered if with modern forensic methods could we not be any closer to resolving what happened to Bruce Lee? I can't be the 1st and only person to re-watch Fist of Fury and get the eerie feeling he knew and wanted us to know exactly what was going to be done to him? Or was that possibility prevented by a cremation?
A regular person who worked hard? Just as there is no real evidence that Bruce was the fastest whatever man alive there is no evidence that Bruce was just a "regular person"... Everything about the man screams the opposite... I don't need to list his abilities and achievements here; we all know them... And even if that "regular people" thing was a little bit true "regular folks" very rarely work anywhere near as hard as Bruce let alone accomplish that much in such a short time... lol So, I'm calling BS on the regular guy thing... Bruce was clearly a very special person, not much was average about him... He certainly wasn't perfect either but he was far from average Joe or Jun material...
That's nice 🙂
By the way, my legs are both the same length, I can swim, I have 20/20 vision, and I have 2 functioning testicles. Bruce Lee didn't have any those things.
@@GoldenbellTraining Wow 2 testicles? Very impressive resume. You're the man!
Glad your back G.Bell!!
BOY!! you do, deep research!!
It doesn't take rocket science to see this exhibition, if you get someone standing feet apart that person has no balance to protect himself from falling back, people should stop making a mountain out of a hill.
Actually, a lot of Wing Chun guys can perform this punch.
He hitting a guy who’s standing tall, square and NOT MOVING. And not hitting back. That move , by itself, is dumb. And I’m Bruce Lee fan.
Just more people putting down bruce even though there are thousands who owe there careers and livelihoods to him he brought martial arts to the masses and tried to bring cultures together remember that.
the push variation is for demos the multi angle versions used in combat doesnt tend to greatly move one .but instead make the recipient feel like his body has been penetrated by many inches
outstanding work, good stuff.
I come from a Wing Chun lineage that uses 1 inch punches. They're more an exercise in our system to develop good body dynamics.
I've done it as a demo occasionally. It's a real thing, but it isn't the insane superpower some people make it out to be. I'd argue you could teach most boxers how to do it in a short.
Good mechanics is just good mechanics.
another super episode... we all LOVE your videos.
Love ya Prince. You made me really respect and love Bruce as a human being more than just a superhuman. You and Grant Stevens as well as Bioneer are some of my favorite channels. Keep training and breathing. Do you have anymore kettlebell or martial arts conditioning workout videos?
Thank you for the facts. Appreciate you
Awesome video and detailed analysis!! Love all the research and explanations and how you debunked all the false claims and exaggerations from other videos. I'm really curious as to how this would be applied in an actual fight. Seems to be very similar to the finishing move in Ip Man 3 end fight when he does a super hard short range strike to Cheung Tin Chi. Thanks again for another great video. Looking forward to the next one!
It was always my view that Bruce Lee was giving a demonstration, and not there to strike a lethal blow. As to whether he could have designed a lethal blow using it, was for me a tantalizing possibility.
I’m always astounded how many people continue to allow themselves to be fooled by Beerdy .
Hell , that man can’t lie straight in bed .
They want to believe in magic
I think the majority of the people watching want to see the clips more than hear his fake stories.
These days, everyone is doing the quarter inch instead of the 1 inch. 😁😜🤣😂
I used to train in hungar kung fu in a club established by Jackie Chans late cousin Jimmy Chan in Liverpool,England
The best RUclipsr when it comes to talking about Bruce lee great video 👍
I love how he uses Dave Chappells clip 😆
this one and I do this for the street have me dying cx
I will have to work that Master Wong clip into another video soon!
You are doing great work with these videos! The truth has to be safeguarded and, in my opinion, is far more impressive anyway, than flights of fancy. Bruce was a hell of a guy, no need for any fake bullshit. Keep making these videos and I'll keep watching!
Thanks for the amazing video ❤
Few styles stop at 5th dan which was originally the highest belt ran in Funakoshi's shotokan,and no style I know of stopped at 4th dan
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
"I'm a Chain Belt in Kung Fu...Bruce Lee was my teacher.....Taught me the "Quart of Blood Technique"....Do this technique and a quart a blood drops out a persons body".
Do you know if bruce lee could do the one finger push-ups
@@Schaller..33 Good question. Which finger ?
@harrynut3044 The pointing finger but using one finger
@@Schaller..33 I prefer 1 Thumb push ups 🤣
Many Boxers do a push punch... except for the jab and the hook... the jab is a rangefinder it's a very wimpy punch... Mike Tyson is not a Jabber... he's a hook puncher.
beardy is the worst channel in youtube about bruce lee.he just invents rubbish
Oh look, it's story time with Princess again.
That's nice 🙂
And the lead straight AFAIK came in part from Fencing not Jack...
Thank you very much, the one inch punch has always been a pursuit for me and a mystery. This video was excellent and just what I have been searching for. Keep up the great work. JB
No fabrication it happened to me!! At a wing chun school in Fayetteville, NC.
Can you do a video on Bruce Lee and Vic Moore please and the truth. Thanks 👍
You all need to go look at the youtube video of the Shaolin Monk who lives in New York performing his one inch punch on a dummy test (car crush test dummy) to see the power generated on this monks one inch punch and two other punches. This monk is punches, including the one inch punch is more deathly than a 30mph car crashed.
I enjoy your channel
Well said, my friend. 😊 And the reason why nobody was ever able to do the one-inch punch, the way bruce could do it is because, nobody is willing to put in the time to learn the straight lead as bruce did and a few individual's. 😊🙏🐉
This may be true, but only for Original JKD people. As Ashe demonstrated towards the end of the video, we also have a 1-inch punch. The mechanics are completely different
@@GoldenbellTraining Yea, that's true.
@@spirithonorsjeetkunedo1877I do not think there is difference between a lead straight and a jab.
@@Meatisfood well, then you have never expirienced the real straight lead.
@@spirithonorsjeetkunedo1877 Is it possible that you do not know what a jab is?
The 6 inch punch he performs in 1967 at longbeach is more impressive
Back at it again. No one on this platform keep it as real as you. The one inch punch always fascinated me. To think someone can do that is insane. It's a move that shouldn't be possible. Bruce Lee was a superhuman
I was going to learn and practice the 1-inch punch... I didn't because I'm not that fanatical... likewise for a lot of other people.
Who will win in a fight Tyson versus Bruce Lee? :D
👉 ruclips.net/video/-mrTLZSt-a4/видео.html 👈
Well it’s actually a 4 inch punch.
Beerdy uses footage then uses it again under a different title all the time o yea and he restored the footage himself 😂
Well said! :)
keep up the good work more Jackie Chan please
I don't understand the message. Too much sarcasm. Please speak more straightforward
Me thinks that Beerdy, guilds the lily beyond any useful purpose.
As I have said before, about Beerdy and other lie....uh speculators. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Over. ' Nuff Said. ' .
your audio and video are out of sync
OK
Stopped watching Beerdy at last when he was trying to pass off scenes from Enter the Dragon shot from a b roll camera or person on set on a 8mm as real fight footage?
I always wondered who was the guy in the white unform with the Red strips & red belt, any one no Bruce Lee nail him, here it e
Was Joe Lewis but I don't think so.
What is amazing, this guy was only 5'7 or 5'8 140 pounds on a good day, people who NEW him talk about how Strong & Fast he was, he wasn't 6 foot 200 pounds, that is what is awesome.
8:54 Dang Beerdy
This Beerdy guy is so egregious and a complete blatherskite! What an inveterate liar he really is...Bruce Lee's accomplishments don't require any embellishment or obfuscations. He was a flawed genius who, in relatively few years of focus, self-discipline and dedication, managed to reach the acme of excellence in martial arts. He was not invincible but he had speed, power and reflexes of a cat to potentially becoming an formidable adversary to any fighter...
Also need to keep in mind that when Bruce Lee demonstrated in public the "one-inch punch," he had to held back a lot of force power in order to not hurt the person taking the blow.
Thanks. 👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Bruce lee central here
BS BS BS!!!!!
‘Bruce Lee became a big star after he played Bruce Lee in the green hornet and all the tournament would invite him as an honored guest….’
Bruce Lee got the Green Hornet when Stirling Sylphant hairdresser mentioned him after seeing him at the Long Beach internationals 1964 where all the footage is from. He started making Green Hornet after he didn’t get the roll for Charlie Chan No1 son.
……hahahaha I’m watching as I type and I realize you are pulling apart the narration you just made…it was sarcasm ….i feel dumb ….should remember you know your stuff…..
Shouldn’t post this…..
But I’m humble… carry on Sifu.
what nonsense. dudes don't know what power really is. muscle is one thing, tendon is another. conditioning your points of delivery is another. a cheetah does not have to prove to dogs that he's the fastest kid on the block just so that he could silence all the trash talks in order for him to sleep better at night.
Beerdy is all clickbait. He never delivers facts. Can’t watch him, bad videos
The example you showed of the white guy breaking the board with a "different direction" one inch punch is not from an inch away nor is it a punch lol. As for Connor example of shoulder checking Cerone's nose, that's literally just a shoulder check into an appendage that is dirt easy to break and has nothing to do with one inch punch mechanics.
That's nice 🙂
@GoldenbellTraining It is. The truth is always nice 😊. See the videos for yourself. People aren't blind lol Why so salty? As Bruce might say, "Stay cool, baby".
"The white guy breaking the board" is a close friend and my senior kungfu brother. I have "seen for myself."
@GoldenbellTraining That's nice, I don't doubt it 😊. However, the second vid you showed was not done from an inch away. It is clear as day to see.
Matter of fact, even the first vid wasn't from an inch away plus he winds back slightly before he does it. Sorry, not a one inch punch in both cases.
Dudes an actor. That first guy is obviously falling on purpose. He fell sideways so fake and delayed.
Bready is a joke, I prefer your channel, you at least tell the truth about Bruce Lee.
Physics
Sad thing is Bruce lee never accepted islam .... Mohammed Ali Mike Tyson was lucky... Sad for Bruce lee
the legend
🙏
Actually, a lot of things about Bruce Lee don't quite add up.
I'm Chinese just like him but I don't really like him one he a show off second he disrespect chinese culther third he show never teach or show to chinese martial art to other now many other make funny of chinese martial art now the other use it as sport fighting they think they are so good now I hate Bruce Lee I never like him at all he make chinese look bad
Wow really
