I'm also weight training Mon, Wed and Fri and unfortunately I'm only training Wing Chun on Tue and Thu. I'm going to 2 classes a week on top of that though. There is never enough time, and it feels like a delicate balancing act to get everything in that we need to do (or at least it's that way with me).

I'm in my 4th week back doing weights and I feel great. I only realised how much I missed it once I started again. I'm actually doing full body routines now as you suggested, though I have broken up muscle groups in the past. I'd be interested to know how you integrate your Wing Chun training with the weight training. Do you do it on the same day or different days, and if on the same day, is it in the same session?

Do this on Mon.& Fri.evenings on Wed. evening do body weighted exercises, such as pull-ups push ups & squats. Each session should last between 30-45 mins. I am 47 years old and have been training this way for over 30 years. I have not been injured or suffered from burnout from this program. Good Luck, if you have any questions please email me.

It simply uses fa ging (short power) in a very short distance, but fa ging should be present in every strike. The “one inch punch” is a red herring.

Obviously if you can generate that amount of power in one inch you should be able to generate tons more in a real punch and that should be peoples focus.

Sometimes you just don't have the room or time to pull back first. Yeah, I like the idea of generating so much power in such a short space.

The guy getting hit (Bob Baker i think his name was) Obviously in wing chun this is the usual practice for straight punches. Theres no draeing back its "short blast punches" as my sifu likes to shout at us after ten minutes on pads. LOL The power he generated is incredible.

It's good to see the guy that made it famous is doing it properly. I've seen some really bad efforts on youtube where the demonstrator first positions the knuckles an inch away from the target but then actually draws the fist back before punching!
