Just interested in people's deliveries of this punch within JKD. Now while training on the bag I don't tend to use the traditional boxing hook- which seems to be the L shape elbow which is delivered parallel to the floor across the front your face, thumb facing you(if thats giving you the right mental picture) I tend to favour a more compact punch which is not too disimilar to my straight lead. I keep the vertical fist on impact with a snap and recoil but it arcs slightly outwards instead of travelling in a straight line like the straight lead. I'm a little unsure of results on a real face as I've not delivered it yet on anybody without gloves. I'm just wondering about the stability of my wrist on contact. It feel fine on the bag (without gloves) but the contours are not like a face. Sometimes when contact is made I have a slight bend inwards at the wrist. However, would the traditional boxing hook provide more stability on impact as the fist is aligned with the forearm much like it is when you deliver a straight lead with the vertical punch???? Any thoughts. I'm probably worrying about nothing eh!!
