    How to increase Punching Power

    Wing Chun is suspose to have short range power? How do you train this? How do you develop short power?

    What are some things you guys do?

    define pole training?

    define heavy bag work with intent?

    Punching power starts with intent. You have to want to punch something hard. Then its about how you generate power.

    Increasing punching power really depends on how you want to strike. Then its up to you whether you want to twist your hips, shoulders, utilize forward momentum, etc.

    So depending on how you punch, focus on strengthening the muscle that can contribute to those movements, in the gym, its the most scientifically sound way.

    From my perspective, this is a WRONG question.

    Brilliant. Do one thing to develop another. Typical.

    The increase in punching power is just a by-product of the pole training, but it is not necessarily the most efficient way to train for punching power. Western boxers have been scientifically measured (on Fight Science?) to have the most (or almost) powerful punches. They "just" train the punch. A lot.

    What are some things you guys do?

    timing & distance ....hit your partner on the jaw lightly as they come at you , you go after them , they move sideways etc....not easy is it ?

    doing chi-sao prepares you for the proximity of the distance and the timing required ...

    first we use dan chi-sao to develop each others strikes. Using each others structure and counter facing force as resistance to make a strong punch with elbows inwards to start.
    Not about feeling the tan with a fook Tan elbow spreads versus jums elbow in each tries to displace the other ....stalemates on the line will occur as each punches the other forwards iow "punch a punch" for the drill. Then learn to 'switch off' the punch back to inward elbow positions of tan or fok, the prestrike positions for each punch in chi-sao.

    Dan chi-sao is performed at a distance greater than each can make contact to the partners body/chin, the focus bing on developing a punch first.

    Then with chi-sao we move closer to use the now developed idea of hitting and deflecting each others punches but with the distance to reach with a punch and also shut down counter entry as we do so with elbows/forearms held inwards.
    We learn that if a guy steps towards us he is stealing our distance to generate ko force etc...and so it starts we avoid chasing arms in this distance becasue our natural forearm angles create natural 'intercepts' as we focus on alignment and force genration with the ability to maintain striking distances, using mobility drills ...

    theres more [for terences rebuttal] but i cant write a book for every question

    tactics to apply this idea are also trained concurrently ...

    This shows your lack of VT knowledge yet again Terence!!!!

    I wish you would stop writing in the context that its your way or the highway!!!!!

    Maybe you should take the time to realize that certain things that are written on this forum that you don't agree with are simply because YOU do not know or understand them.

    Maybe I am mistaken and you really are the All Seeing Eye but I just think you are moribund and a plebeian!!!!

    Standard elbow displacing intercepting post "idea" seen a million times..

    Where is the power component? The power comes from the body....

    not using the wrists as mst guys chi-saoing will do is hard ....then the use of force off the striking line...alignment of the barrel of the gun , even under sudden contact. We can disrut guys too but is a BTW to our punching in...

    of course the structure in movement is required to deliver force to ko...while being able to intuitively move tactically to sudden shifts of the opponent.

    being able to "post" yourslef to deliver sufficient force in aligned timing with body weight in motion to harness the 'mass' as you tactically maneuver for optimal positions...all without thinking : )

    using heavy bags goes without saying ..pad work, etc....

    but its useless in the wrong distance with bad timing and tactics....

    chi-sao is an intense exchange under constant 'pressure' ...revealing simple openings we can use in an oportunistic manner to make attacks...chi-sao makes us quicker to use these 'openeings' to KO ....iow finish the fight asap.

    no hesitation.

    ***WHAT AN IDIOT!!!

    Wrong question, please...It's a good question, and obviously one you have no real answer to - which is why you made such a dumb remark.

    Why don't you SHOW the forum how you go about developing power?

    No, don't direct us to go visit someone else or watch someone else's vid - you show us.

    Post a vid.

    ***THAT'S A GOOD ANSWER, Adrian.
