These two gents exemplify what I mean by punching (and body) speed:

I am a reasonably fast puncher (one of my students, Forrest Chang, once described sparring with me as "like walking into a blender"). I will likely be in Singapore next year. Strange, I believe that is where you hail from? If so, would you be willing to show me how you use slow training to deal with a fast punch?


Where can I buy a ticket? I'd even consider a trip up to Singapore for a bit of RR (not joking - it is always worth meeting up with people who have spent decades on this stuff to reappropriate their hard earned lessons).

Seriously I think it would be great to get everyone on this board physically together. It would save a lot of time and also explain a lot.


i find your post insulting
let me get back to you
they say good things come to those who wait :)


You do that tiger! Go get em and don't take shit from anyone. Even when they are not really referring to you. ::)

Just find this clip today. It gives me more motivation to continue my high and fancy kicks training.
