Well...

The claim about Bruce Lee was the only one with "sparring in "protective gear"-idea is actually wrong. In Japan Karateka experimented since the 1920s with protective gear orignally meant for Baseball, I think. After the war, in 1954 the first "Nation Karate-Do Championship" was under the ruleset of "Bogu Kumite"/Bōgutsuki Karate". This is full contact sport fighting in a very similiar gear to what Bruce Lee was showing, gloves, a vest and a helmet. But I do not know if Bruce Lee even had known about "Bogu Kumite", since the Karate, Tang Soo Do and Taekwondo styles he could see in the US were mainly focussing on very restrictive Pointfighting.

Feel free to blast out more reps in the footage. Its 1980's karate movie montage style. No one who matters gets tired of that

@@FredKuneDo that's why I said "in his bubble" because people had been mixing styles and equipment for a while.

@@metrolinamartialarts I was about to say exactly that.

Man, you guys could be twins!

Spider-Man meme incoming

Solid reaction!

I think this was a waste of time in the way that you didn't really invest the time it would take to master this technique nor the time to learn how to apply it in a reasonable way. On the other hand you're a youtuber and you made a video out of it so it wasn't a waste of your time. Still perhaps you should learn to edit videos with one hand so you have the other hand free to practice the one inch punch. You probably get comfortable with it in a couple of weeks to the point where whenever your hands ended up in the right position during sparring you'd automatically performe a one inch punch before retracting your hand into basic position. I guest that would really mess with your sparring partners. I guess the one inch punch is really meant for people who spent to hours a day on public transport. Just make sure the seat in front of you is empty. At least until you really mastered the technique xD "Stop rocking my seat dumbf..." "Well care to see how I rocketed you seat like that?"

Aren't you that guy that sparred the little girl on that one TV show?

👌😆😆😆

Ooo very good and useful, lots of people do just the arm

LMAO 🤣 I know 🤣

Well at least he's got hair. ;)

😬😬😬

Dudes got some awesome hands

Lol I was trying to figure out what was up with his arms, thinking he's got strangely defined musculature or something specialized for one inch punching. Then my eyes figured it out: "Ohh! Just less fingers. Ok, nothing out of the ordinary then!" Although.. I can't help but be a child and ask myself if that gives any advantages for performing martial arts

We won't judge (much)

Fear not the man that uses 10000 different techniques once but the man that uses one technique 10000 times

@@benisboy2697 yes, which means I need to practice my spinning back kick about 9,926 more times 🤪

@ProtoTribal Interesting. So you'd favor trying to get the motion from the rear foot? How would that work exactly? I was thinking of it more as a short lead hand punch, maybe using the same mechanics as the straight-ahead one inch punch but changing the angle into a short uppercut to open up the chin in the clinch

@ProtoTribal I think I kinda see where you're coming from

That's how all punches work...

Same. Chen style tai chi in particular uses this a lot. One inch should also work at no range once you develop Jin (explosive power, for lack of a better term). Most JKD people don't have the right body development to do it properly. That gets a bit esoteric for most people.

That’s the use of the one in punch to teach your body to not telegraph basically, punching from wherever your hand is, the one inch punch itself is useless against an opponent but the muscle memory it teaches that explosive muscle fibre is great

The technique behind the 1 inch punch is to demonstrate why you punch with the bottom 2 knuckles, not the top 2. Index and middle finger requires force and ultimately ends up impinging your shoulder girdle. Pinky and ring finger allows expression on shoulder stability at the speed generated by the interior tricep

This all has to do with fa Jin right. The secret to the one inch punch is Fajin right?

@@martinbonsu4661 Bruce mostly showed an Explosive Push, but using a fist shape. However, the real Inch power secret, is Fajin. You can see a mild example of a fajin hit by searching "Glen Levy fajing hammerfist". There are two vids, of two different men that eat his fajing powered strike.

a single move for a week, might show some mild improvements. 24hrs, is pretty much useless. In most cases, it will take 2 to 3 months of daily training, to fully master a single technique, to its ultimate potentials. Anything less, is like trying to use a dull butterknife, to cut into a tough, over-cooked, piece of steak.

Lol. You are missing the whole point.

There are many applications. For example, if someone gets in your face, hold your hand out as if trying to give you some space. Act and talk like you don’t want to fight, and when the time is right, you strike them first. Knock the wind out, and you can walk away a badass or you can go in for the knockout shot if he can get up.

That was indeed not the one inch punch

Six inch punch

0:00 1-inch punch 2:01 6-inch punch

@@bobanmilisavljevic7857 drawn together joke?

Its also about weight distribution and having elastic muscle memory, weight classes exist for a reason. Put 90kg behind a punch with perfect leg placement and hip turning will kill a 45 kg man. Watch ip man 3. Its literally what happens when a boxer fights a Chinese man who still believes in ccp propaganda about chinese bullshito. Xu xiaodong and many others. Sanda is the best ur gonna get from china now that its infected with wushu dance arts. Maybe northern crane boxing and baguao are prrssure tested but thats it.

​@@OceanBloke LUL. XU is a Chinese CCP agent, trying to sully the remaining combat arts, because the CCP is too fearful of their Slave-Class rising up against them. I used to be 150lbs... taking on fighters that were nearly, if not 2x heavier and stronger... and I put them to Shame. One of them.. I used about 15% to their kneecap... due to him being extremely disrespectful... very similar to yourself. Openly saying that Wing Chun was Sh*T, and so was I. So, I kicked his kneecap... and this Full Contact heavyweight division fighter, dropped like a stone.. was screaming in pain, crying a river of tears, on the mat. The resulting injury, took a month for him to fully recover from. After that point on... his level of Respect for this rail thin dude... was forever changed. Sanda was created by the CCP... just like Wushu was also created by the CCP. In fact, after they ended the Cultural Revolution... which had something like a 60 yr ban on the practice of ANY martial arts form (penalty of deth, if caught)... they created Wushu. A fake martial art, that has the external appearance of martial arts... but has ALL of the Combat drill training and knowledge, Removed from it. When XU defeated these fake fall-guys.. Guess what happened? Thousands of REAL masters, were on their way to END him. Then the CCP put him under protection, and made up a cover story that he was hiding from the CCP. You do realize, that NO Chinese citizen can hide from the CCP...right?! They have AI powered surveillance cameras everywhere... and just to buy a drink at the store... you need to use facial scanners, or your phones specific ID chip communication. They can find anyone, in less than a weeks time... no matter how good you THINK you are at Hiding. Sanda is nothing but the CCPs attempt to copy the sport of Kickboxing... because Wushu was not enough to keep people from seeking out the remaining combat teachers out, for actual combat lessons. When even that was not working... they copied the same playbook of the Gracies scams. Putting up deceptive and fake videos, of so called "Masters" being defeated. The Gracies never fought against a SINGLE masterclass level practitioner. Even a basic level martial artists could EASILY tell that their Opponent, was completely Clueless... let alone, a "Master". ANd when famous kickboxer Benny the Jet challenged the Gracies to a fight? The Gracies tucked their tails between their legs, and Refused to fight him. Why? Because they knew that Benny was an Experienced fighter... and there was a high chance that he would score a KO (or worse), long before any of them could get a grasp of him. As for XU... he is Slow, and clumsy. Id defeat that dude, in less than 5 seconds flat... and Im way out of shape, and far older. Its laughable, that people actually believe in that BS. But... thats the problem with Mindless NPCs like yourself. Way too easy to fool the mentally challenged, like yourself. Ive used mastered WC, to KO several fighters to date. 3 of which were blackbelts in a Jujitsu school.. when I attended their open-house sparring events. (These same disrespectful students, had intentionally broke a TKD fighters arm, in that event) I used to fight against various arts artists, all over the city. From all the well known arts, like Muay Thai, MMA, Karate, TKD... to more obscure arts like Capoeira, 5 Animal style, Shaolin Longfist, Mantis, Tai Chi, Wudang, and many others. And I can EASILY tell you, that Sanda, is low level trash, compared to the higher level combat arts. I can also assure you, that even at 6ft tall, 150lbs ... with all of my rib bones showing... that my Fajing abilities, were able to Stop or END, any attacker, of any size. The most recent demo I did, was with an MMA fighter. I used a 10% level forearm deflection... powered by Fajing. It not only stopped his attack cold... but also nearly shattered his wristbone. The injured area swelled up nearly double in size in less than an hours time... and he was in great pains for many days to follow. Btw.. in that demo.. I was using one arm, against his two. He tried for a good 2 to 3 minutes, to land a single hit on me... and failed to do so. Not because he lacked skills. He had textbook technique, with excellent speed and power. But because MMA training lacks the tools needed, to deal with higher level combat arts... at Masterclass levels. Much like you... before the demo, he was almost rolling his eyes in the back of his head... thinking I had nothing of value to show him... in his "Superior Training". Then, when I told him that I was only going to use a single arm... he almost laughed out loud. After being shut down for like 2 min straight... his attitude changed to embarrassment, and then to Anger... as he then went against our Agreed upon levels of safe "Medium" power levels... and upped to full speed, full power, with true intent to harm. Had he stuck to using medium power levels.. the mild level fajin impact that I used... would not have caused a serious injury. Afterwards... he stood there in shock... as he was expecting me to be on the ground, crying in tears. I had to explain to his everything that had transpired... and the hows and whys. After that, he was blown away... smiled wide, shook my hand.. and called me a G0D. I then said... "Imagine if I had been using two arms, instead of one?" He then looked shook... as he realized, that I had just been playing around. We would have several more rounds, before his injury got too bad for him to continue. First was legs vs legs (kicks and leg defenses). Next was dual arms vs dual arms. And final round, was anything goes (all limbs in play). He was not able to land a single kick, nor handstrike on me, in ANY of these rounds. Meanwhile, I had lit him up, like he was my own personal kick bag. This is not to brag, either. Its simply the difference between a typical sport trained artist.. and a MasterClass level combat artist (not a casual "combat larper")

Actually one is punch is basic of what your goal in CMA

Plus it would be good self defence move. Imagine someone harasses you and you first try to cool them of by putting hand at that position. And then bam you snap them in teeth or plexus ( or worse you aim low and end fight before it begins)

@@jamessan3404 That's toeing the line of assault but I would rather use my post hand to grab and control and throw normal punches or elbows with the other. Also avoid punching people in the teeth if you can 😬. I can tell you from experience that its not good for anyone involved if you like skin on your knuckles, and if you don't clean your knuckles properly afterwards the infection could be even worse.

@@irishninja9857yeah I meant if you can't diffuse situation and someone is trying to assault you. You can shock them by throwing fast punch . And probably have leather gloves at least.

I’m pretty amazing aren’t i?

@@SenseiSeth this is just another day for the man who broke the world record for the highest jumping kick🤷‍♂️

Wait, TKD took over JKD? 🤣

Brilliant comment, I also love using a jab/uppercut to penetrate the gaurd then pulling the arm down from the inside for a rear overhand,hook,cross. I got this from the Conor vs Porier 1 fight, Conor moved in with a quick triple jab and he almost karate crossblocked with the lead to open up the ko hook

Nah Seth doesn’t think Bruce was legit. His breakdown of the sparring video was quite misinformed. Bruce was just doing a light sparring demo but Seth made it seem like it was the way Bruce would fight in a hardcore fight.

Tho I’m happy you have heard of that. I am pretty confident either u nor your teachers can do those things 🤷🏽‍♂️

How about the one-inch push? Works good in childbirth.

@@Docinaplane 💀💀

One inch of punch can bring you down, if you're not careful with the width of the glass.

Yup, 2:03

And if you go back to 2:02, you can see he has made a normal fist. His fingers aren't even extended.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l5mHeaSI39qRlmg.html Damn, can't get the exact frame I want. It works when I click on the video at 2:02, but the time and the link go several milliseconds too early. Anyway, you can also clearly see, if you get the right frame, that he starts with a normal fist too, he never extended his fingers in that video.

Bruce Lee did many versions of this demo. If the OP was smaller in mass.. he would only use a single inch of space. If the OP was much larger in mass.. he would often pre-pullback, and use at least 6 inches of runway. Too many people see the demos, and think that the "One inch punch" is somehow opened to Interpretation, based on Lees different demo distances. The other reason, is that even the weaker push version of the technique... is very difficult to do, with only an Actual inch of space. As such, they will just use a 3 or 6 inch distance, to start out with... and mislabel it as One Inch. I used to do REAL inch strikes. Ive also had the same, performed on me, by a masterclass level practitioner. No pre-pullback garbage. This dudes inch punch to my chest, through a 4" thick yellow pages phone book... nearly put me out of commission, permanently. I felt the wave of power blast through my internals... and hit the inside front-face of my spine... as it then Blasted my spine outwards. I thought I was doomed, as it felt like it was going to either crack my spine, or blast it out of my back. It caused me to buckle into hunched position. After the impact... I felt like someone had poured gasoline on my chest, and lit it on fire. This burning pain was unbearable... to the point where I had to make my breaths as shallow as possible, to try to reduce the pains that merely happened from my chest expanding and contracting. The size of the pained area, was like a Soccer ball, in shape and depth. These pains lasted just under 4 hrs long... before finally going away. Ive never been hit harder, in my entire Martial Arts career... and it was the first time in my life, to be absolutely terrified, that I might be "Ended" (and that there was nothing I could do about it).
