How to Correctly Practice Reverse Straight Punches
After practicing reverse straight punches in Kung Fu, it's still necessary to build a solid foundation, then practice techniques, tactics, qualities, and real combat scenarios.
Foundation: Master Zhang Mingyu's fast-paced hand release execution course
1. Wrist. Establish the force line and hand stability, ensuring the peak and stability of the wrist.
2. Elbow. Cultivate a stable, relaxed elbow with the ability to whip.
3. Shoulder. Activate the shoulder's power chain, the core of rotational speed.
4. Hip. Activate the hip's power chain, the core of rotational speed.
5. Knee. Utilize the active force of the knee joint to increase movement speed.
6. Ankle. Maintain rigid ankle stability and leverage for force activation, enhancing movement speed.
7. Spine. If the spinal condition is compromised, movement will be affected, and potentially lead to muscle strain. Conversely, scientifically controlling the spine will enhance movement speed, structure, and explosive power.
Technique: Building upon this, train the techniques.
Parallel punch on a stand – Guarding stance stationary reverse straight punch – Guarding stance stepping reverse straight punch – Guarding stance drop stepping reverse straight punch – Guarding stance push stepping reverse straight punch
Tactics:
Single attack – Combined attack – Feint leading – Distance change, close and then pull out, circling – PIA – HIA – ABD
Simultaneously, train with the three counterattack methods.
Characteristics of reverse straight punches in Kung Fu:
1. Because Kung Fu's guarding stance is sideways, reverse straight punches often require an outward stepping action.
2. This differs from cross punches; Kung Fu's reverse straight punches are more powerful, faster, and more concealed along this attack line.
3. To execute Kung Fu's reverse straight punches, you need to step and land before the target, requiring a Kung Fu lineage holder to guide you step-by-step, otherwise, you can only perform the initial step and punch.
4. When stepping out with a Kung Fu's reverse straight punch, pay attention to the stability of the stepping leg; both knees should have an attracting force, while controlling the forward foot's placement is also crucial.
5. Kung Fu's reverse straight punch can be executed simultaneously with a side step, meaning that during the attack, the head and body are not stationary, but in constant motion.
6. Kung Fu's reverse straight punch should progress from the basics to more advanced levels, even a basic action needs to establish the correct force method, otherwise, the spring system, the center of gravity system, and other elements cannot be activated, leading to difficulty in learning later on. Without a Kung Fu lineage holder's guidance, it's difficult to enter Kung Fu.
