Find yourself a good Baji instructor. Not saying that Baji is better than Southern style kungfu, but Bajiquan does specialise in close range power development. I don't know of any other style or method which can develop such close range explosive DESTRUSTIVE Power...

Um, most if you do them properly laviathan. Practice silk reeling, and work on developing weight in your strikes. Loads of guys spend forever working on developing snap in their techniques because it looks good, and then wonder why their strikes bounce off people. Work on sinking your weight as you strike as well.

We have many different excersises to develop the shock power, some help develop power in different directions also there are different types of power these excersises are trained then the forms are used to help bring out the power and speed.

Short power comes from how good your stance is. The focus you have going to one point of your opponent. Your focus is robbed by not being relaxed in your stance. This is only my opinion.

[Grinding Hands]

Different styles have different ways of delivering short powers. Just reading this post I already see peaple giving their interpretaion of how to do it differently. Maybe it would be cool to hear how each style does it. Tong long, wing chun, ba ji, tai chi, bak mei, etc...

I know stance would be the most important with all of you. But can you guys deliver short power in mid air or laying on the ground?

[Jabb]

Well, wing chun is speacialized in close range power with its one inch punch and chainpunches.

In CLF (and in some other KF styles), the power is generated with the whole body. We use waist, stance, shoulders and hands. We train different muscles to generate this "explosive power" : training your stances (legs), shoulders, and back-muscles.

I personally do shadowboxing to increase speed and reflexes. As they say, speed equals power (if used in the right way).

~ If you would like to develop some real power, the type that causes a person to puke blood all over themselves after one punch, then Hsing-I is the art to study for that. The saying in Hsing-I is, "Yi beng, Kan Xue," meaning, One beng chuan punch, then you will see blood.

~ If you can't do that in your martial art, either you are doing something wrong, or you are learning incorrectly!

Work on using your whole body!!

A good way to do this is to get a really heavy and tall punching bag, pull your hand a certain distance away from it and strike it from that distance over and over, until you figure out for yourself how you can get your whole body behind that punch. Then once you feel like you are getting good body power behind your punch, move your hand closer and closer to the bag and keep practicing, until finally your hand is a good inch or three away from the bag. This will help you learn your mistakes in a sense, and it will help you to use your whole body, which is what you have to do from 1 inch.

Here is another good way to do this. Pick a move you like and make it into a longfist move to begin with and make sure to be relaxed. What I mean is, think of this as just warming the move up. As you begin to make the move relaxed, start to make it shorter and shorter, until finally it is no longer a longfist type of move, just a short full body movement.

I dont not how much sense that made, if any; but I hope it might have helped a bit.

A few of the The keys to short power is yin and yang, and full body usage. You must be able to relax and contract your whole self in a split second.

The Question is are we striking a dead or alive target?

If so developing power will vary i think! Remember phoenix eye doesnt need as much to hurt someone.

HEY CLOUD I AGREE.:)

tao yin : thanks for the good post

ft: true but a pheonix-eye INITIATED from 1cm from a target ... alot of people will "push" or have no real destructive power with it. of course sertain target lend itself even to a relativiely weak strike. but yes i get ur point..


thanks everyone
