How long does it take to learn? I was looking through a copy of The Straight Lead by Teri Tom and it says how complex this punch is and how one will get frustrated. This book also quotes Bruce Lee as saying, "Only one in 10,000 people can handle it."
The strike is based on a punch in a book by old time boxer Jack Dempsey. A lot of these old time boxing techniques are abandoned by modern boxers today. You think this contradicts Bruce Lee's principle of simplicity and directness by using a punch so complex? Once you learn it, do you think it is some secret weapon more effective than the jab or jumping punches like the superman punch?
