[@houselightkell]

Leo ._idk this breaks the number1 rule of punching: pretend you're punching THROUGH your target

[@yeahnahsweetas]

Clark, in this case the target is not the paper. It's an invisible point some distance in front of the paper. To be completely honest though, I don't even know if I'm right/Sifu Dan agrees with me, but the point of this comment is to show you the difference between our attitudes towards learning. You chose to find a problem with the lesson, I chose to interpret in a way that doesn't contradict what I already believe. We watched the same video, and you didn't learn anything, but I did. This shows a flaw in your style of learning, and is what makes the value of the lesson irrelevant to you, not the effectiveness of the exercise. "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."

[@DavorBa]

Nice exercise, one just needs to be careful not to move the paper with breath when exhaling.

[@DanLok]

Exactly.

[@FirstLast-js3ip]

DavorBa hahahhahah yuuuup

[@danielcolon6873]

Dan Lok is there a way you cud build a short powerfull strait punch.and what be a long powerfull jab that will knock out a apponet?

[@DanLok]

Stay tuned for more!

[@randyboisclair6905]

How much to learn wing chun wooden dummy and others dan lok

[@ckmkaliguy]

It is a take on punching a candle and trying to put out the flame.. Done right , when you punch and pull your first back without touching the candle , you pull the Oxygen away from the candle and put it out. It's a great way to build a fast snap from a relaxed hand to a hard fist. You can learn a great deal of speed this way and accuracy

[@coachingconfidant2785]

yup thts also another bruce lee technique aswell as punching with weights

[@Moodymongul]

never heard of the candle going out on retracting the arm (foricing air from candle?). I've only seen candles blown out by the air pushed ahead of the fist due to good execution. Is there a vid of someone with a fully extended fist (in front of a candle) then retracting their arm to put out candle? I thought the candle technique is more for accuracy and traing the muscles of the arm to fire arm out in a straight line (by reducing muscle shake over time). Its used in many martial arts from asia. A higher level (saw this in Kyocoshin, Japan) is to place the candle in a biscuit tin, cut a jagged hole in the tin (just big enough for your closed fist), strike though this hole and put out candle. Any arm shake causes you to cut your hand :) it trains you much faster then the standard candle technique ...unless you lack control/skill; in which case your hand will be a bloody mess ;)

[@DanLok]

Good insights and keep practicing

[@ckmkaliguy]

Moodymongul you don't need a video , just a candle.. try it..

[@Moodymongul]

will do. Thanks for the idea.

[@ViewingMyMind]

That's my fav drill I didnt now Bruce Lee does it

[@DanLok]

Good.

[@cptloro.rielbila]

i remember doing these stuff when i was a kid while my mom wash clothes, and the hanger fought back leaving a mark on my ass

[@DanLok]

Keep watching. Keep learning.

[@robertmorris3254]

I deal with ballistics. Speed is a great equalizer and has greater effect as we go down range. I see the training on punching paper as a great benefit in promoting a transfer of energy to a target. Thank you so much for your insight.

[@DanLok]

Keep practicing.

[@Jsoncv]

I appreciate your teachings. Those who searched and admired him, are left with very little. You doing this really is appreciated.

[@DanLok]

Awesome stay tuned for more!

[@nickking8686]

Anyone who is looking at this late I just want to say u could do this with a candle it helps u to punch faster

[@curvingfyre6810]

[@sangpenakluk2848]

wowww ...greatest !!!

[@avinashdevadiga9236]

I am 25, I always wanted to learn martial art. I couldn't learn because of lazy behavior. I wanted to know can I start learning now

[@avinashdevadiga9236]

I mean. I am 25yrs old but I want to learn the art

[@DanLok]

It's never too late. Best time is start is now.

[@godswillngwaka7488]

Avinash Devadiga there's no such thing as procrastination. I think what you need is motivation. Why do you want to learn martial arts. Think about that

[@rye-bread5236]

Avinash Devadiga dude we have a 40 year old at my dojo he got into it when he was 30 and he kicks my ass all over the place and still has more stamina. I started late too (back when I was 18) never too late. Start warming up stetching, jogging, doing pushups, sit ups and hold low squat stances for several minutes (work up to an hour for the horse stance) it'll help your body prepare. Most importantly: Go For It, Now!

[@DanLok]

Yes daily consistent habits are key

[@steveng4140]

I agree. Good exercise. You have good speed. Thanks for the video

[@AbhishekKumar-uw3vx]

Wow this is really very nice training

[@larrybrownly5462]

[@sahityanodayro785]

Nice video

[@adamregdos7152]

This video is awesome. This video also shows you how you should snap your punch. You snap your punch like you're snapping towel or whipping a towel. When you get this you will understand why Bruce Lee was no joke.

[@tomatokilla9632]

Good gouge, thanks!

[@DanLok]

Thanks for watching!

[@abimanyusaridjo178]

thank you for your videos. was wondering if you could cover about how to punch through a target? and should punches be snappy or penetrative? it seems like a speed punch is not meant to be penetrative?

[@darkmustang]

With the candles it's good too 😊. I Will try it with paper. Look interessing

[@eddydave566]

Thanks for your video it's helpful

[@DanLok]

+Eddy Dave you got it!

[@kimuraishidakurasakiniduaz8683]

hi dan lok i've been watching some your martial arts video i need some advice on how to kick more faster cause my punches are all good its just my kicks

[@FrankBell]

It's been 2 decades since i've done this... question now - I fear that it might foster potential bad habits of pulling my punches. Any thoughts? I don't currently have a heavy bag and was thinking of implementing this training exercise into my routine. Thanks!

[@RUNNINGWATER]

Sifu, i have not exercise for a long time. To practice JKD what are recommended routines I should follow when starting out again? Should I focus on Cardio only?

[@maicolx7776]

nice

[@thomj32]

This is one of the drills my jkd sifu has given me as well as plenty to get on with the mook Jong since this virus has stopped our one to one classes

[@katbamemonsutngasuja5749]

Hey Dan can you please tell me what time of exercise make our hand really strong😇😇

[@destianahusnulchotimah464]

Amazing explanation about how to make a great paper-hanger from the simple tools... But, i dont know..was it your punch or your breath choo choo that makes the paper moves...

[@pauljennings7876]

I was taught a version of this by one of my teachers in his version you actually hit the paper "news paper works best" and listened for the sound when your punch and recoil were correct the paper would make a snapping sound when you hit it, if they were not correct the paper would tell on you every single time ..... great method and it works!

[@mrwizardtamang8049]

That's shaolin version big bro for knuckle conditioning 😉

[@sadafalisongs6313]

Thanks for the give me mma training with your help.

[@DanLok]

Keep up the good work!

[@kyoshi1950]

[@noahbenn7509]

Do one on bruce lees Power punching and Knuckle conditioning.

[@ldmukhtar8751]

where can I download books to learn Martial arts

[@JPGPakua]

This is also wonderful for thrusting fingers training or the rolling wrist snap strike in Pa Kua. Pierce the armor is the name of the move in the JRQ form. Sword/thrusting fingers are nicely developed with this drill, the object is the make only a finger sized hole with the finger jabs. A bit different from the punch in it's training, mainly in the wrist.

[@bruceolga3644]

Coconut is better.....ewe huemans should be aware...👁️🦁™️♌🎱

[@jedidevin3612]

I take Tang soo do and we have a different way of punching, can you show a video of a Korean style martial art on punching paper.

[@devinwilson816]

Nice technique. Maybe I should practice this to see how it goes. Does this require to use the JKD stance too or just stand normal?

[@Lessonswithsenseimatt]

X Ray Paper works doesn’t Break about makes a snapping sound 💪

[@educatedmeldigaming8494]

Cool video!!!

[@DanLok]

Look up for more videos like this coming up!

[@blogging363]

I want to learn

[@swetsyed2749]

I am interested to do this but how can I know or realiseI am doing correctly or wrong

[@amensela1359]

Try doing the 1 inch punch on this, starting with the power from your feet, then up to your legs and body, but speed should also be applied, causing a power speed strike type wind force towards the paper. Quick, fast, and powerful.

[@DanLok]

Stay tuned for more videos about this!

[@rachnaprasad8527]

superb video I subscribed but I want to know about bruce lee flying kick and the six inch punch

[@DanLok]

Nice video bro

[@DanLok]

Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

[@hansimeier6587]

In Jeet Kune Do and WingTsun striking is done in a relaxed manner and emphasizes speed. If I lock out the elbow with such speed, it's easy to hurt the elbow, because there is no tension to hold back. 2 principal ways to handle this: 1. build up tension and avoid locking out. Goes against the main principle of relaxed striking. 2. Prepare the body to handle this kind of stress. How? What do I have to train: muscles, ligaments or....

[@antoinechabot4510]

Hi Dan, i love your vidéos about jkd, i didn't know this drill and i love it, but i wonder how this exercice can improve the speed of the punch. Can you explain it one day? Thanks you for teaching us, bye! (PS: i'm sorry for my bad english, i'm Belgian...)

[@H.haru_u]

Im using same size and thickness lead sheet.

[@Malcolm_99]

great vid :P that flow state

[@DanLok]

Neil Great! practice well, practice hard.

[@thecrowrains]

Subscribed! Thank you for posting your tutorials! A long while back I trained in *small smatterings of JKD (and exercise) based on books by the great Bruce Lee, then after that solely on the straight lead by Ted Wong's student (author) Teri Tom; used her book often. *Where I live there is no Jeet Kune Do, hence small smattering here and there. Two brief questions if that is okay: 1. This might sound like a silly question: Did Bruce Lee's students refer to him as "Sifu" or another term? 2. have you seen DK Yoo here in youtube? His movements are amazingly fast and his system is called the Warfare Combat System. His videos are all over youtube; seems like he is similar in speed to Bruce Lee. Part of his system aims to let the practitioner draw energy from the ground for speed via proactive reaction to attacks. ~ peace! Eric.

[@NI-CO-LA]

Awesome! Question: when you throw the lead vertical punch at the napkin, do you tense at the very end. It's hard to see because your so fast! Do you have a website?

[@DanLok]

Keep watching. Keep practicing.

[@siddhanths5941]

How does this exercise build speed ?

[@djbuttcakes8231]

So I am hoping you comment on this, I can punch extremely fast even when I’m tense (I’m 14) but I wonder how fast I can punch when relaxed, the only thing is I dont know how to punch while being relaxed. Any tips or tricks?
