The Wing Chun punch seems to cause so many arguments. Critics of Wing Chun say that our punches are little more than taps and slaps, lacking the ability to cause any real harm to an attacker.
And yet the view WITHIN the Wing Chun community of our punch is the complete opposite of this. We believe that we are the masters of generating power from close in, capable of delivering the famous "one inch punch".
How can there be such widely differing views on what is such a simple but fundamental technique? Who is right and what can go wrong with the simple punch?
In this video we look at how you can follow MOST of the Wing Chun theory and yet have your punch lack power in many situations. The critical area of failure is trying to use muscular force. At certain "ideal" ranges, using muscles while punching along the centreline may appear to be ok, but in many situations, being 90% correct on the theory can still make you 100% ineffective.
This is particularly so the closer the opponent moves in towards you. You may actually be better off swinging round punches at close range rather than trying to do a Wing Chun centreline punch but with muscles!
If you want to fight close in, then you should be able to receive force close in (see some of our previous videos) AND deliver force close in. There should be no such excuse as "the opponent is too close to me". In the same way that a bullet is deadly from the moment it leaves the barrel of the gun, so should your punch have force from the moment you decide to throw it.
