This is a very important insight, because the technique of shock fist and punching different!

You wonder why kung fu, with "punched" definitely need a push on the back foot? But in boxing does not need a push on the back foot!

Yes! You probably guessed it - because in kung fu, no punches, and quick thrusts his fist! :)

Due to the fact that many do not understand this and try to carry it punches, get a wrong technique of attack and defense

Hi Anyan.

I take it English is not your native language. Unfortunately there seem to be some translation issues with whatever you are trying to say.

Just to be clear...

Kung Fu does contain punches.
Boxing punches do involve pushing off of the rear foot.

At face value, your statements make no sense. Kung fu refers to many different Chinese martial arts systems. Within these systems are a myriad of punching techniques using a great variety of power-generating methods.

Like Tony, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the problem here has roots in the difficulty of translation between Mandarin, Cantonese, Russian and English.

BTW, nice cat.

SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH but in my country have not peaple)))))

Kung Fu does contain punches only 2 types: Fast, biting, circular punch and long arm movement (like in style pigua chuan)

Else once: If you do not understand that it pushes (and you are like the majority do not understand, I see), then you're doing it wrong !!!

I have shown in the video technique does not necessarily listen, but you can see - everything will be clear.

A simple example: if you know how to disassemble the items and see a movie about a girl Wing Chun, then you understand why it is how it breaks down flying at her pots of water)))
If you know why this show, you do not know))

Chinese kung fu specifically! is working with weapons, but without weapons! Therefore, there is no punches! The Chinese have always fought only with weapons before!

I'll take a swing at this:

I'm assuming the OP is talking about the delivery of power into a punch. I demonstrated this just yesterday with a student. I showed the difference between punching and "driving force" which comes from the legs. My general explanation is that punches will collapse a person and driving force will push a person. I used Bruce Lee's example of the one inch punch and how it always seemed to knock people backwards. A punch has different effect on the body. The force from a punch "collapses" a person which is why you don't see people who get knocked out from a punch to the head or a punch to the body fly across the ring.

Kung Fu uses a lot of "Driving Force" techniques. If the student tries the techniques without driving force then the strike will be weak. Palm strikes are a good example of an easy technique that uses "driving force." People who are not able to connect the driving force will have weak strikes and are most likely at risk for hurting themselves because they are trying to drive the power of the strike solely with the arms.

The only reason I think the OP may mean this is because I think back on seeing students who haven't learned to connect their power and how weak their strikes are. When I work with them, I'm always telling them to stop trying to hit hard and focus more on connecting power and driving power. It's not about the punch it's about connecting the energy generated by body movement.

I think this is also why we see a lot of weak wing chun punches in youtube videos from people who are only getting power from the arms.

But then again I could be wrong about the interpretation of the video.
