I think it was called Kempo Karate? he pointed out there is no point practicing to punch someone with your fist ending an inch from their face, but rather your fist should be ending an inch past the back of their skull

 Thats a very poor way to train, land filled with misconception.

 Firstly, stopping right before a target gains a person better control.  A person with better
control,  has better accuracy, is less likely to overshoot a moved target, and is
less susceptible to faints.   Being able to stop ultra quickly also creates faster
twitch muscle, which can lead to greater hitting power.

 In the art I study, we hit Wall mounted bags filled with sand.   The sand
cushions the fist a 'little', but unlike foam or heavy bags, it has very little 'give'.
The impact you get is much more powerful, and conditions your entire body from
that shockwave. 

 No need to hurt the training partner to attain power.  And not many training partners
are going to be able to take a powerful blow to the head from a person who can
hit a near solid impact with a concrete wall.

 Mostly Wing Chun.   But Im also pretty good at the TKD style kicking.  I mix it up
with some wushu, tai chi, imiatations of drunken / animal styles at times.

 Hard to find decent vids on Wing Chun.  Lot of people that make them are not
the best..  or are doing things incorrectly.

 Heres a few links of interest:

 A funny story about a Karate school...

 One day I went to a Karate school's  "Open Brawl"

 Anyone from any style could fight their students and each other.  3 min rounds.  Then
switch partners.  Continue for like 30 min to an hour.   You both were to agree on level
of speed and power  (supposedly  heh).

 At one point, the Instructor came to spar me.  I believe he was trying to impress me
to get me (and others) to join.   Anyways... Im hitting him here and there.. and he cant
get any shots in on me.   He starts to tell me to hit him harder..  so I did.   I was hitting him in the chest most of this time, as it was easy to open him up.    Then, he keeps
repeating to hit him harder.   So I throw a decent shot to his head.   After he recovers.. he says  "Not the head!".   

 So, lets see here... you can take a punch to the chest well with my shock absorbing
gloves.  And even if you could take a power shot without the gloves... you cant
take a medium shot to the head.   Hmm... all that chest conditioning really didnt help much...
