I have a condition called stenosis. If I work out on my meds and my BP is to High I would stroke out and die, even two or three days after the actual event, it would be decieving to say that three days prior to my death my student hit me which cause the "Deadly Fist", Theory. It was health and meds with to much training which killed Bruce, he died doing what he loved, and was my inspiration for studying.

First, I want to be clear I am not picking anything apart. I really enjoyed your article and look forward to reading more from you. I am curious about the inch force punching technique. I had always heard that Bruce had learned the technique from Gin Foon Mark. There are even training photos of them together with Bruce learning the technique. Did Bruce refine his study of the inch force power with Master Mark? I honestly don't know. I ask because all three branches of Southern Mantis are based on inch force power. That is not to say, of course, that we are the only ones, there are many styles that do. Wing Chun brings an amazing and powerful arsenal to the table without a doubt. I also know that Wing Chun has also always had this technique. We do definately "throw it" differently and it is equally effective on both sides of the fence. I would appreciate any insite into this you can provide.
