Congratulations, you can punch I have a couple students who have finally developed a solid mechanical punch. Their motion with the punch is clean individually and is coordinated with the opposite arm. I told them good job, because now the deeper development can begin. Now that your arms are moving correctly you need to see and feel how they are always forming a triangle, at all times. And how that triangle is constantly covering our motherliness, at all times. And how the arms are precisely positioned to intersect with the centerline. And how the shoulders are the base of that triangle. And while we want to stay as square as possible, there is an acceptable turning of the shoulders that does allow us to maintain the squareness. And how you find that the squareness isnt just the literal shoulders being parallel to the target, but it is also the deeper sensation of the correct tension that is the deeper meaning of square to the target. And how you now want to start to listen to the tension in the arms, so you can find the balance between stiffness and limpness (or what we call steel bar power and elastic power). And how to find that balance, you will have to maintain focus on the target at all times. And to learn to listen to not only the tension in the arms, but the tension in the shoulders as well. And how the arms are moving, and starting to see and feel how the punch motion is associated with other motions in wing chun. And how the body is the ultimate support for the arm. Because if the body support isnt there, you will never develop a killer punch. All youll develop is pushing power. These are just a few of the things he has to look forward to. Ken
