One Inch Punch

The Jeet Kune Do 1 Inch Punch is one of the most popular, and powerful punches that Bruce Lee ever demonstrated. It will knock a person who is over 200 lbs back 5 feet from just a single blow. This punch is not for show. It is extremely effective and is used in Jeet Kune Do training from every aspect of fighting. When you are in close quarters, you can deliver the 1" punch without having to retract the hand in order to reload the power. The power is released from the tip of the toes all the way up through the front knuckles of the right lead hand. jkd 1 inch puch

To execute the 1" punch with power and effectiveness, the lower gate from the hips down must be very relaxed. The rear heel is raised approx 2" to 3" off of the ground, ready to trigger the punch. The rear knee is bent. The upper gate is very relaxed at the moment. When releasing the power you must push up with the ball of the foot as you come up, rotate the hips and the rear foot must be at a 90-degree angle. Your arms and shoulder should be in a straight line/lock position. This punch goes right through the target. You should focus on what is on the other side of the target. "Don't think, feel", means that you should not think about getting hurt in this process, because you will be holding back your power, and you will be blinded by your tenseness. When punching, you must punch approximately 5" beyond the target - that is the only way that the 1" punch will have power and force behind it
