Different styles generate power in different ways. While they all are ways to get the body's weight and momentum into the punch, there are different ways to achieve this. The falling step/drop step is one way; it sort of puts the body into free fall, letting your opponent "catch" it via the fist. It also represents a sort of one punch knock out approach. Wing chun uses different principles including what might be described as an "erosion" approach -- they'll hit a little softer, but they'll hit you 10 times. Kind of like tapping a nail into a board compared to driving it in with one hammer blow.Poof! Found my mistake! I used to stomp...second question, i dont get it, the weight should be shifted forward, right?(to punch harder) But today i was reading on wing chun chain punching and someone wrote something about shifting weight back to hit harder! I might be detrackin from the topic right now but it has been bothering me since this morning!
And who the heck needs to Dempsy step on their first time sparring? What is wrong with you people?Frankly, I suspect we're being trolled.
He sort of described it up-thread. Apparently, he's testing for a belt promotion and part of that is sparring. Pretty common.You still haven't answered what a belt fight is...is it point fighting or full contact?
I think he's just excited but very green; inexperienced and untrained. He has no idea of what he doesn't know yet but has an inkling. He's not even sure what questions to ask yet.Frankly, I suspect we're being trolled.
Who doesn't?!?And who the heck needs to Dempsy step on their first time sparring?
One day I foolishly asked She Who Must Be Obeyed, "sheesh! What's wrong with me?!?" Now, you should know that She Who Must Be Obeyed is a State Licensed, Board Certified Counselor. She looked at me, smirked, and said, "Do you want it in alphabetic order or by severity?" Because I was feeling my cheery-oats, I grinned back and said, "Alphabetic." For the sake of my own self-image, I had to stop her by the time she got to around E or F. :rofl:What is wrong with you people?

What exactly do you mean by 'belt fight'?
I'm guessing the OP doesn't think he needs advice after all.
A week out what were we going to do.
.
I take it you missed his 'interesting' post that has rightly been taken off?
Back when I fenced, on occasion I would be the second for someone who was entering their first tournament and/or meet. They would always ask me what they should be. My advice: put out your blade (epee) and hit them with the pointy end. Sometimes, it worked!A week out what were we going to do.
A few of our guys did a disaster of a tradies fight night. And due to the lack of any organisational skills at all wound up having to corner a bunch of first time fighters they had never met before. (Some of which had never even trained before)
And there was a guy as he was stepping in to the ring, who asked what should he do.
At a loss for anything better they just keep punching him.
Wound up that this guy had his opponent physically tied up by the ropes and half out of the ring and was still dropping bombs.
So I guess that was good advice.
Osu, i have been practicing kyokushin for 3 months and uhhh 7days...my sensei tells me that i'm progressing fast (Hah!). But he doesnt have a slightest idea that my legs have been shaking since he last told me about my belt fight this friday!!!!!
