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!
Bruce Lee
Although Bruce Lee did not invent the One Inch Punch he certainly made it famous!
Here Bruce Lee demonstrates his one inch punch in the 70's at an Ed Parker event in California.

What's to Come
In the near future I plan on covering several topics in regards to Wing Chun from Center Line theory to Footwork. After some foundational material has been discussed I will start posting some video lessons!
All the best from your friend @wingchun
