Bruce Lee's Speed Punching Exercise - Punching Paper

The snapping punch is a fast, whip-like strike that makes quick contact with your target and snaps right back into the guard position.

It is the hallmark of Bruce Lee's punching style.



In Jeet Kune Do, the snapping punch is a full-body strike, not just a simple hand motion. Bruce Lee would leap forward, stomping the ground with his lead leg at the same time that his snapping punch would make contact.



To develop the snapping punch, practice throwing it against a piece of paper hanging from a string. Don't try to put too much power into the strike; just try to develop the snap. The idea is to hang paper and hit it with a 1 to 2 inch penetration and a lot of snap. It teaches you to snap you punch instead of pushing it.



One of Dan Lok’s passions in life is martial arts. Like many young kids, after watching a Bruce Lee movie, it changed his life forever. At 17 years old, Dan started training in martial arts seriously because he was being bullied in school. It wasn’t long for Dan to learn the techniques he needed, and gain the confidence necessary to defend himself.



Dan has studied with legendary martial artist such as Bruce Lee’s original student Ted Wong (http://tedwongjkd.net) and Joe Lewis “The Worlds Greatest Fighter” (http://joelewisassociation.com), making him a second generation student of Bruce Lee - in Bruce Lee's authentic art of Jeet Kune Do (JKD). He's also a third generation student of Ip Man (Wing Chun Kung Fu).



Dan has also trained with other great instructors like Adam Chan (https://www.pragmaticmartialarts.com) and Canadian lightweight boxing champion Tony "Fire Kid" Pep (https://www.facebook.com/pepboxing).



For Dan, martial arts training permeates every area of life. It’s not a hobby, it’s a way of life, and it influences how he does business.



Martial arts gave him the confidence, focus and patience to push through these obstacles and to keep fighting when he felt like giving up.



IMPORTANT NOTE: Dan is NOT a full-time martial artist and he doesn't even claim to be that good of a fighter.



He's simply a successful businessman who enjoys the art and philosophy of Bruce Lee, just like you.



He doesn't have any online martial art videos, seminars or expensive "private training" to sell you. Quite frankly, he doesn't need the money.



He simply wants to share his passion for the art of JKD (his own version of Jeet Kune Do) through his YouTube channel.
