- Ming describes and demonstrates the mechanics for the Wing Chun one-inch punch.
Warning: always use a thai pad or other chest protection for training this to avoid problematic chest compression on your partner. On the receiving end, Philip Richardson is a well-trained professional.

This is probably the best explanation and demo of mechanics that I have ever seen - anywhere! Great use of analogies to get the concepts across. More demos and videos, please!
Awesome video. I been looking all over for a explanation for this. Subscribed and liked thank you so much
Great Vid!!
excellent explanation
Weirdly enough, I found I actually have a lot of power at very short distance. I stand next to a door, stand in a side stance, leave my arm extended and literally twitch my hips, tense the arm/core/legs and suddenly there's a blast of power pretty much comparable if not stronger than my jab! I've never actually trained to do it, but for whatever reason I seem to have a lot of power in that portion of arm extension
+Jaikay1 You've actually touched on an exercise (with slight variation) that we use in demonstrating the effect of relaxed hip snapping (rotation) through to the arm.
I'll make a video addressing your question and post it on our youtube page the next couple of days.

Hi Ming, semantics may intrude but I guess when you mention pushing versus punching you’re referring to tricep and deltoid engagement in the drive. Whereas as by relaxing you are driving with the hips. The body mass is still behind the strike. Have you compared other methods of adding body mass, the drop step, for instance? Or articulating the spine (al la pak mei)? Hips are the most powerful but it may not be the most efficient in some scenarios where a drop step might be quicker. I’m a student just looking to hear your thoughts😀
Drop step, core contraction, etc. all are able to be used to add momentum as well as to connect hip-driven action. Yes, the reference is to people tending to use delt and tricep engagement, which is prevalent online and in circles where people don't grasp the relaxation principle that reduces the use of ancillary or gross motor movement not used for the effort. Human beings want that gross movement, they want the explosions and demonstrations of power in very grandiose style. Those who are deep in study and work toward true efficiency understand what is truly impressive: very little movement, very little resource expenditure, great effect.
I have a question ...Would you say that this will convert to more strength during a full swing, say, during a hook for example? I imagine it wouldn't, as far as I remember the nervous system doesn't really convert strength like that but i'd be interested to hear your opinion and your experience in how the extra strength affects your other punches
+Jaikay1 What we look at when determining power (force) is mass x acceleration. The only problem with human beings is we tend to get in our own way and this slows down our acceleration.
A penetrating strike has to flow through a body that is relaxed. Only the muscles involved in the action along the pathway of the strike--to the end of the fist, or foot, knee, etc.--should be contracted in sequence and then relaxed again.
This is really hard for a lot of people to do. Relax, I mean.
A strike is an expression of intense, rapid contraction of muscles along the chain of action--only enough contraction required to produce the end effect--and then the release of that contraction.
In this way, yes, it will apply to all your strikes. Heel, knee, hip, upper torso, shoulder line, fist. That's the chain. There are supplementary contractions along the way to further enhance the power, but what I've outlined is the minimum required.

OK
im sorry but i must disagree with this sir. the whole notion of the 1in punch is that every punch/block/counter u do should involve every part of your body. when u punch u must use your whole body.. your feet step, your legs push, your core twists, and arm pushes, your other a arm is faint,faking, or blocking. its the notion that all these movements together is what make the punch so powerful. its the notion that if your body can move in perfect harmony u can achieve great power with little effort.
I respect your opinion, thank you for commenting. But efficiency is doing more with the least effort, time, and resources. Using your whole body in the punch does not fall under that definition. The 1-inch punch is about transferring the greatest amount of penetrating force into the target with the least effort-and least amount of body involvement possible. That's what makes it fast. That's what makes it repeatable without heavy draw on resources. The punch is only using the muscles required for the movement and no more. To use more reduces efficiency, speed and repeatability.
check out my video on getting speed in the battle blast: ruclips.net/video/uNQ87oi84GQ/видео.html
If you use more muscles than required for the action, you will reduce your speed and penetration and will increase your resource demand. Simple physics. There is no pushing involved in the sense you describe, but a relaxed snapping from the hip carried out to the fist and penetration into target.
You should know that when Bruce demonstrated the 1-inch punch for crowds, it was done with the intent to wow them, meaning he would push through it more so the effect on the "subject" was showy and spectacular looking. In reality, the 1-inch punch is best described as breaking the yolk inside the shell without breaking the shell. That means the body doesn't go flying, but rather, the "subject" gets more internal damage from the hit.
that simply isnt true. he did it as a lesson to teach power! it wasnt just something he did to amaze the crowd... well not only to amaze the crowd lol
I have no reason to lie to you. There is nothing for me to gain from such a response, and it goes against my ethics to do so. In all this, I speak the truth as best it was taught to me. This comes from Guru Dan, who was Bruce Lee's protege and the man he passed JKD down to-the Inosanto lineage is my formal training. It also comes from Sifu Francis Fong, who is one of the world's top Wing Chun/JKD instructors. Please take some training with either of them, and you will understand why I say what I say.
