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.

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.
