So I have started to use my new method
to view motion on a YouTube.
This time Bruce Lee's One Inch
Punch.
Jim Keenan It looks like more of a 16+" punch to me -
starts about 2" away then he lurches forward so far that his right
pectoral muscle is over the instep of his front foot (extending the entire
length of his arm from elbow to shoulder and then adding a shoulder extension,
too) but then recovering to a position close to the start - all of it happening
so quickly that, if there wasn't this frame by frame breakdown, you would miss
all of this. Bruce Lee was very fast and strong for his size.
But this "technique" as performed
is more of a sideshow trick he happens to do particularly well. It fall in the
same category as the trick I do where I ask any karate person to take up the
strongest stance they can and then I knock them over with a light touch of one
finger. (And, yes, if we ever get together,
I'll be happy not only to do it to you
but to show you how it's done.)
