A SOFT AND SIMPLE PUNCH THAT EXPLODE!
***Learning the this punch is challenging for many martial artists because it’s unnatural.
If you think about it, the natural human punch is a gross motor skill. Have you ever watched a nature show on TV and seen how bears or tigers fight? They swing their arms in wide arcs to pummel the opponent or prey. It’s a natural movement for humans too.
Also, a Wing Chun punch uses a vertical fist. A vertical fist means that the knuckles are aligned vertically with the body (parallel). This also helps keeps the punch straight. But most other punches from boxing or martial arts are horizontal to the body (perpendicular).
Fortunately, everyone who sticks with it, learns it. And it’s all worth it.
