Why big forearms?

Bruce Lee would emphasise strengthening certain muscle groups for better fighting abilities. With the hope of people not getting innapropriate. What were those emphasises and why.

Big Forearms

Alot of shots can be absorbed by forearms, especially in boxing and muay thai. In an art like wing chun or other gong fu methods, the forearms are used for redirecting.

Regardless of the art, having strong forearms would be good for taking impact. In addition, forearm strength is related to grip strength. If you're going to be grabbing an arm whether your being punched or grabbed, you want to have a vice like grip.
