Dynamic striking

[Kung Fu Wang147 177]

Dynamic striking (intermediate level) is more advanced than static striking (beginner level). You have to learn how to generate power from "ground -> up" and "back -> front" before you can add footwork into it.

Old saying said, "In the beginner level training, if you move your feet when you punch, you are wrong. In the intermediate level training, if you don't move your feet when you punch, you are also wrong".

In your MA system, when do you start your dynamic striking training?

The 1st thing to train dynamic strike is to coordinate your punch with your leading foot landing. when you train that, it's better to lift your back foot up on purpose.

While I agree with the importance of the front foot, this gets Very conditional. The last video is a good example since you seldom have a guy running backwards like that. Yes, I know the guy is getting knocked backwards, but my point is the same.

When I teach boxing and Muay Thai, I start students stepping with their punches and kicks from day one.

In the long fist system, footwork training starts after the intermediate level.

Intermediate level - more weight on the leading leg.
Advance level - move weight on the back leg.

Footwork comes first to me. Its taught as it's own thing, with strikes and blocks, and as entrances to grappling range before anything else. Seems like a bad idea to not incorporate it from the get go.

Beginners have to learn how to borrow the counter force from the ground by "bending the back leg and then straight the back leg". If a beginner starts to learn the footwork during day one, the "bottom -> up" training may not be solid enough. A beginner has to learn how to walk before he can learn how to run.

When I was young, I taught students with strong foundation. When I got older, I took the short cut. I taught student more combat than foundation. Today, I look back, I should force students to spend more time in the foundation training instead.
