If done correctly, the forces are much greater. More force
released per time unit... so, that force is too much to be
dissapted in one direction only. It expands thru the now tightened
material in all directions. Wider dispertion, because of the sheer
amount of energy released in that short time.

You arnt making sence as that example does not mirror what is happening.

A better example:

Bumper Cars. If you ram into a person, keeping your bdy loose.. you will
do ok transfer of power to the other car.

Next: As you are about to impact, slide your body forwards quickly.. so
that your full range of motion is exausted as you at the same time hit the
other car. This time, you will see that youve managed to make a much
greater force. Youve used internal components to do it.. Your body
acting like the mucles tightening. The muscles tightening all at once
create a force that is in addition to the already strong collision.

If you were tightened before the hit.. basically all the way forwards
and not able to compress.. you will hit harder than if you were loose..
but, its not adding anymore power to the collision. You are just
becomming one with the car structure.

To add the weight slide really amplifies the power surge. A shockwave
of energy. Well maybe not so much a shockwave cause bumper cars do not
move fast enough ; )


> meaning, for the shockwave to be continually produced, you need some
> force behind it. that is the follow thru of a punch.

In a punch, you never create a continual shockwave. You will have a
strong continual "push".. but thats about it. Once your fist hits a solid
target, it goes too slow to keep up a shockwave effect.

However that
dosnt even matter, cause most people cant get enough power to make an
initial shockwave hit... let alone a continual one. Driving thru the
target does not count unless you have jets attached to them ;)

Well, If you are push-punching.. you actually could go so deep as to make
him air-borne as he looses his root. See Tai Chi pushes. This again does
not mean the punch will be more deadly or powerfull.

I should have added, hit it fast, and tighten upon connect. Hitting it
fast alone will not be enough to make it solid as described. A little, but
nothing like the explosive ending.

Ive already said that. The difference is, I use the force from the
actual body tighten to make additional energy forces.

You do not want their external body to accelerate. You want the internals
to be scrabled because the force is to great to dissapate. The energy
which normally would Push a person 1ft back.. changes to condensed energy
that causes a 3"+ sphere worth of internal shock.

Again, you are wrong. You get more energy transfer when you tighten
upon connect. Again, you are not stopping - you are greating energy with
the muscles tighten ... and you are transfering it perfectly. Just like a
cue ball hitting another ball.

If hitting the stomache of a guy, Youd drive about 4" or so into it
untill it stopped compressing.. and his whole body was just about to
uproot.. then when you tighten. Since youve already done the full
compression, and since you will not need a long follow thru.. you can
tighten your legs as well. Though I admit, Im not sure how much the legs
will add because they are usually tight to begin with due to the fact that
you are standing all your weight on them.

Untrue. And btw - the tighten only last a split second.

If you are already touching the target, you are one with it.. you no
longer need to move. The tighten expands your muscles a bit, and the
surge created seperates you from your target (power transfer).. while doing
the damages.

A cue ball transfers More power in less time units. A soccor ball might
add power later.. but, its then weakened power.. because its power that was
streamed at less power per fraction of second. Explosive power needs the
highest amount of power available per fraction of a second.

You think that 6" is the key number, because its placing your strike where
the target would have been.. and, its deep enough in some areas, to reach
past the skin level. However, the faster you can strike, and the more
power you can get per time unit.. and you do not have to go so deep in
say...an area like the forehead. The impact is less than 1" needed, to
cause internal damage to the brain. Pushing 6" thru the head, and you are
not concentrating the force.. but rather just pushing the target backwards.
Its the speed of the Initial power transfer
(first "solid" contact) where the damage is done.

Untrue. Again, if you strike a loose taget fast enough and with enough
force per time unit.. it will act as a solid. You again, do not need to
over-reach if you can generate this fast enough. As stated, this power,
even on the softest body targets can be done at very short distances.

Quite the opposite. Ive sparred a lot. I do agree that a tight body
is more protected.

Funny you should mention 'tighten on impact'. Think of the correlation...
:)

Well, then you have used your tighten energy up before the connection.
That is the difference.

Once my punch has transfered, I become loose again.. the fist may move a
bit on it own in a relaxed manor as you describe.

I was laughing at the fact that you thought it couldnt be used in combat.
I do not make it a point to hurt people. But if they decide they wish to
try to hurt me with excessive power, and have a bad attitude.. then I give
them a little taste (dizzy) with reduced power.

IF you preformed it in a way that will produce the power i describe... you
would see its use in combat immediatly.

>>Firstly, You never tighten until youve made impact.
> Just before or you will be late.

Incorrect. You lose the muscle shock power that way. You want perfect
timing so that its at the moment of impact on the solid target. If you are
a split sec late, it will reduce power a little, but since you are deep
into thier body.. the shock forces will work. Do it before the target, and
you lose that shock... as its nowhere near the target body, so cant travel
thru it.

It was an expression. However, the targets entire body will not be able
to dodge, roll, or move out of the way from the end snap. The snap tighten
is "fraction of a second" quick.

In Wing Chun, there can be 2 hits per second. Miss with the 1st somehow,
and .5 seconds or less, and the next is right there.

You can do damage from a single inch.. however, In reality, youd want
more distance for more power. Training at one inch gives you the needed
fraction of a second muscle timing needed. If you can time a snap from
that short distance.. you can easily time a longer distance strike. Also
trains for faster accelerations.
