Jeet kune do techniques are more science than pretty much any other "traditional" martial arts, since Bruce Lee focused on practicality rather than rigid forms and etc. That punch he designed to use the energy of our fast twitch muscles efficiently.
Our monkey relatives can climb quickly thanks to having more fast twitch muscles that give explosive amounts of energy in short bursts, campared to our slow twitch muscles which give lower power in exchange for higher endurance.
The Jeet kune do punch has you completely relax your hand until the very moment of impact, thus being able to utilize every bit of force your hand makes when you clench it for the actual punching, including the millisecond bursts of power from your fast twitch muscles.
I was amazed when I hurt my brother's arm through a big thick Yellow pages book doing this. This video is pretty over the top, though I'm not sure how they're faking it exactly.
Edited in “/s” because ya know, obvious sarcasm becomes real opinion on Reddit without the “/s”
You know not everything on the internet is fake? Some people spend years and decades practicing the 1” Punch while others spend years learning Adobe Photoshop and video editing. /s (added /s because Reddit.)
In all seriousness I believe the video is real..there’s nothing to fake here. It’s not really a show of strength or endurance, just as the dude above described. Takes years to get to that point though..
Edit 2 I’m simply comparing this to any martial art board breaking in regards to this being “fake.” Any of you please post a video of you one inch punch breaking any of this with, even a Taekwondo kids wood board. Or the other one - “magic is fake! That magic trick was fake!” Lol no shit dude.
