Anyway you had a question mark after your sentence so here comes my view of the WingTsun Vertical Punch:
Our main goal with this punch is to generete a force, e huge one. We have the motto "One punch must kill" or somthing similiar. As we all know Force = mass * velocity^2. Lets look at this formula, the mass factor cannot be changed very much, perhaps if you train hard and gain fat or/and lots of muscles this can be changed. Velocity on the other hand can be trained so that you can punch faster,which also depends on the triceps and lats, beacuse it is the velocity upon impact that mathers the most according the formula.

When punching the vertical punch we train all the time to have all of our weight behind the punch and that we are genereting as much power as possible from the joints. Our punch is very fast since we train a lot with chainpunches on mits, makiwaras/wallbags, sandbags, you name it. An avrage WT practioner punches at least 5-6 punches/s. I wouldn't like anyone to punch me with a WT punch. Go to a dojo and find out or search the net if you don't believe me, this has been discussed before.

But honestly conditioning is the biggest part of fighting, if your body is weak it doesn't matter how well you can pull off a technique, it's still gona be weak, simply because you are weak.
It depends on what your goal is, mine is self-defence. and not going to town and pick fights with everyone that I encounter which is not legal where I live.


Mike Tyson is a pussy, right William?
