Sun Thrusting Fist

Bruce Lee popularizes Wing Chun Kung Fu all over the world

. Wing Chun Kung Fu has a unique way to punch that is called the 'sun thrusting fist'. The punch is different from most of other disciplines of Kung Fu because of its special energy form. The energy is believed to be released from the elbow. The fist is first put near the heart and then punched a long the centerline. The fist and arm is imagined as a metal ball linked with a metal chain which is shot from the shoulder. Wing Chun masters say you must keep elbow in center while punching.

Sun thrusting fist is able to generate devastating power if correctly executed. The secret of technique is to be completely relaxed. This principle is shared by many other Eastern martial arts like Taichi and Aikido. These martial artists are capable of doing powerful attacks while appearing to be very soft and slow. But the relaxing state is what made sun thrusting fist capable of hitting several hundred pounds within one inch of space.

How did Bruce Lee fire an insanely powerful punch within one inch (the inch punch)? Some might think that a punch is done by muscles of the arm only but in fact, punches like that requires the martial artist to uses the whole body's muscle at the same time which would generate energy like explosion when done correctly. Wing Chun principles say that it uses six sets of muscles from toe to fist to execute a correct sun thrusting fist.

Sun thrusting fist is often used in combination of other techniques. One is to execute multiple fists in chain motion like a machine gun (The Chain Thrusting Fist). Famous Wing Chun master Wong Shun Leung is famous for his chain thrusting fists which would not stop once initiated until the opponent is defeated or paralysed. Compared to the one-two punch in boxing, the chain thrusting fist is more efficient in terms of energy usage. The hand after doing a punch is relaxed besides the other instead of pulling back to the body.

Martial art is an art about attacking and defending. Many disciplines of Kung Fu claim to have perfect systems of blocking and attacking. But the superiority of Wing Chun is that, the moves often combine attacks and blocks in one action. Two actions when done one by one is never faster than done together. Many techniques like the Bouncing Bridge Thrusting Fist blocks the opponent's attack and counterattack at the same time. The opponent is often trapped in his own attacking motion and unable to react to the counterattacks. This makes Wing Chun masters able to finish fights in one or two actions most of the times.

One other less common form of sun thrusting fist is the double punch. When a double punch is executed, both hand punches sun thrusting fist at the same time but they attack two different targets. Usually, the two punch land on the centerline of the opponent's body. By doing this, although both hands are extended, the person can still defend from opponents attacks.
