Asai Karate: Bogota Colombia seminar
浅井空手: 武術としての突き実演その六最終回・背骨の鞭を利用したワンインチパンチの稽古方法：コロンビア首都ボゴタ講習会
This is the last video of zero or one inch punch. It is easy to say that such a punch can be achieved by using the whipping motion of the spine or hip vibration.
At the same time, not too many karateka can demonstrate the true zero inch or one inch punch. There are two main reasons for this.
Reason 1:
Never learned how to achieve it. In other words, you did not receive the proper training method(s).
Reason 2:
Your body is not ready for such a move. Even if you learn the training method(s), you may not be able to achieve such a punch soon.
This is simply because this punch requires different bio-mechanical skill that requires the particular movements of the body. The parts of your body are spine, ribs, scapulars, pelvis, etc.
I am sure you use those parts in your regular karate training. However, zero/one inch punch requires different moves of those parts.
It is difficult to verbalize what the different moves are. Take a look at this video and see if you can identify how the spine and the pelvis were used in this training method.
Do not pay attention to the movements of the feet or even the legs. The quick flipping motion of the pelvis lifts the body upward. Then, you have to synchronize the short arm movements.
These are two challenging physical skills; pelvis flipping and synchronization of the spine/pelvis and the arms.
One final suggestion to those who are interested in one/zero inch punch. Be sure to include the spine movement exercises. The spine can move not only front & back and laterally, but also rotate.
In addition, it can also twist like a snake or flip like a dolphin. If you can master those movements, it will be much easier to achieve non standard punches and strikes. Good luck with your training.
