@@Iquit-r7k everything he said here is correct, maybe you need to get out of reception grammar lessons before you can lecture anybody about their "bad" grammar
The master is using his hips as well for extra power. As he hits, he twists his hips to push his hand into the punch more. It’s a simple technique that can add a lot of power and speed to your punches, because you don’t have to load up from downtown to throw a punch, but have a good enough hip twist to replicate that power from up close.
My physics professor is a beast since he did the one inch punch on a lvl 10 board in front of whole class. Needless to say, there was rapturous applause.
"I know 1 inch when I see it" "Now your hand is a fingers length away from the board or one inch" Me knowing that the average middle finger is 2-3 inches
Speaking from experience of taking karate for the majority of my teenage year. First, keep your fingers out touching the board until u actually perform the punch to make sure u aren't cheating and move your hand back. Second, use your body to amplify your force. In this case, twist your hip and shoulder, then transfer that momentum to your punch. Its gonna pack a lot more force forsho!
@@nicodame9853 why call it the 1-inch punch if it’s not 1-inch away then. That’s ridiculous. “It’s just the name” is a terrible excuse. That’s like calling a 30cm ruler a “metre stick” and saying it doesn’t matter it’s not a metre it’s just the name, it makes no sense.
If you think a fingers length away is one inch then you have the shortest fingers of any grown man to exist Edit: except hasbula… or however you spell his name
The original one inch punch is performed with your fingers rounded to the second knuckle, which is about 1 inch in length. Years of people observing and recreating the punch kind of just made this open hand punch coexist within the name as the technique is what's really on display. It's less about the power produced and more about mastering control of your muscles and potential energy.
The trick to a good 1 inch punch isn't to retract your fingers then punch You have to move forward in one swift motion, punching as you retract your fingers
It is not only punching. A real one inch punch lets you wrist, elbow and shoulder snap like a whip. That amplifies power butis not achieved easily. You need to practice the snapping so frequently that it starts to hurt in your wrist. Your body will start to compensate the pain by letting your elbow snap as well.
The most important part about successfully performing a 1-inch punch is ensuring that you have the fake wooden board that falls apart if you hold it wrong.
That’s how they’re made. It was meant to. It’s split down the middle and can be easily put back together (I’m the pro of that at my dojo). That’s the point of them.
One inch punch is a mechanics trick. You should be able to generate a pretty decent amount of force if you do it properly, it shouldn’t be a weak punch
