The Jab in Kung Fu

What is this? This is jab in reverse. And why am I asking him to punch in a face level? Because think about it. Stop, thank you. Think about it. If both punching, landing on the chest, assume that this guy has bigger chest, stronger body, he's not going to use. Especially for a small size like me or ladies. Therefore, I'm now recommending you, I'm just trying to show you which target should you punch. Imagine that there's a nose right here. You turn your hip, bend your knee, and throw your fist straight, bang, bang, like bullets shooting straight through that red dots. Begin. Go...go.., you see that? Hitting the target on the nose doesn't take any power bigger than this. This is what you work on to destroy the nose but be very careful. I'm not teaching you to destroy people's face. Now when it comes to self defense and you don't know how to stop your opponent, this can be one of the good techniques. Nose, nose. Go, go. And when he and hands with his hip you will see a difference. And you got to breathe in, breathes out. Good, nice jab. And now, take a look. If he is punching straight forward, try not to show the shoulder. Especially when you do this. Your opponent, once he's experienced, he can tell. Now, move your shoulder up. Now take a look. Every time I jerk the power house, that fist will come up. Again. Same thing with the back hand, every time I jerk the powerhouse, it goes straight in. Go. Good, then once we put them all together. Go, go. That's right. And it takes time and practice. The first thing, you've got to be relaxed and how to be relaxed. Of course, I will bring you the subject of Tai Chi that will help you to relax your body and get yourself into a very, very good mood when you are throwing your punches. Thank you.
