The Wing Chun one-inch punch is a powerful tool, giving you the ability to have explosive power from an extremely close range.
In actual use the punch might be a 1-foot to 1-inch punch; it all depends on your range. Make sure you don’t pull your punches back before you throw them. Simply fire straight out from where your hands are positioned. Training the One Inch Punch also prevents you from telegraphing your punch as you are not pulling back, yet firing out from your current point in space to and through your target.
It's a Whole Body Thing
When you under- stand the technique below and apply it with your body and footwork, you will have explosive short-range power. It's not just your hand it's your whole body moving in a unified motion!

Although Bruce Lee did not invent the One Inch Punch he certainly made it famous!
