One Inch Punch

You've heard of the one inch punch right? This move was made popular by the Kung Fu master and Jeet Kune Do founder Bruce Lee. It can be described as being a punch powerful enough to incapacitate which only requires a distance of one inch to perform. The one inch punch is present in many Southern Martial Arts styles but it is commonly believed it that it is derived from the relatively modern style of Wing Chun.

The inch punch comes from the unification of 6 points ,Ankle , Knee , Hip ,Shoulder , Elbow , Wrist and the power generates through the last 3 Knuckles into a very powerful Technique.
