End of B lunch? What the hell kind of detention is that? That doesn't take away any of your free time! After-school detention is far more sucky to sit through. B lunch detention is just lame.
I assume you got quite a bit of laughter, right?
pmowry:
It's not for me. I read it someplace else just this morning and thought it was funny. Then alittle later I read the same comment in this thread and felt they belonged together
Xiaou2:
I once had a Jeet Kun Do guy order at the place I was working at. (He had a
bright yellow uniform with logo) At that time, I already long since taught myself,
and developed "Inch Power" to a good level... But, I was curious to see how well
he could do it.
I politely asked if he knew the 1" punch:
Yes.
Can you show it to me?
Sure.
He then asks me to grab a phone book. I go into the back, and pull out a 4"
thick phone book, and return.
He asks me to place it directly in front of my chest. (no gap) I do so.
He makes a fist, but then extends the pointer fingers knuckle so that its 1" further
out than the rest of the knuckles surface... And then places the extended knuckle
"gauge" on the book.
I keep a very close eye on him. How he is positioned. And am prepared to look
for any trickery that some people often use when demoing this stuff. Most people
do it all wrong, and merely Push rather than make it a powerful strike. Many people
even Pull their fist back before they start. Its very easy to see this happen... and so Im
staring at the arm - checking the movement direction as its happening...
All the sudden, he "Twitches". "BAM", he hit me with the force of a cannonball at
speed!... Yet, I barely moved back. All the force was concentrated Inside me.
I also noticed that he didnt move his fist/arm back before the start.
I was a pretty hardened artist at that time, and so could take a heavy punch without
issue or much pain at all. But this punch was Devastating! My entire chest area:
About 1ft diameter circle... felt as if it was lit on FIRE. I was shocked at how much
stronger his power level was than mine... and how much damage it did.
His face looked a little disgruntled, as he prepared for a 2nd attempt. I started to
realize... that he was dis-satisfied with his first strikes power level, and felt he could
do better on another attempt! I was shocked... and as much as I was curious to
know.. I quickly stepped back and told him one was good. I knew my body couldnt
take another hit like that again.
My chest was in severe pains, for a punch of 1" distance - thru a 4" phone book.
I thought it might fade away in a few minutes time. An hour passes.. and its still
as bad as ever. 4 hours later... it finally starts to subside. I was seriously
contemplating going to the emergency center... as I thought he had done some
extreme internal damage to something in me.
Had no phone book been used, and he had more room than 1"... I would not have
survived it.
I had asked him before he left, what he did to make his punch so strong. He listed
many various techniques Lee used to use, as well as simply things like Tiger Pushups.
I was a little lazy about strength training when I trained... He however,
trained his strength and explosive levels much more intensly... and it surly showed.
What is amazing, is that this man is nothing like Chen Xiaowang: A master of
a Chinese Tai Chi system. Ive heard Chen Xiaowang did a demo once, where he
was resting against a person (Zero-Inch), twitched... and the guys ribs cracked.
Inch power is very real, and much more scary than you can imagine. However,
its not something that anyone can just pick up over the course of a few days.
It took me maybe a 6 month period to develop it to KO level power... and that
was on top of my already maximized Wing Chun punch which had maybe 3yrs
worth of experience/training.
The Wing Chun punch uses the same technique of Fajin to generate
massive power in less distance. However, most of the WC guys never dial
in the power to extreme levels. (A sharp knife... but not razor sharp)
shmokes:
LMAO. Xiaou . . . this is irresponsible. It's too much. You're going to give me a heart attack. :laugh2:

That would be the 0" punch.
