Regarding Bruce Lees speed..... oh and wikipedia ;)

My Sigung ( sole lineage heir and great grandmaster from wu school of jow gar wingchun ) ( who co-incidently grew up going to f/t martial arts school with Jackie Chan,) is currently rated in the fastest 8 punches in the recorded world.. although after sparring with me and with help from another sigung from a whole other branch visiting from overseas in a nice two -out drill.. gOd knows what could 've happened to that time in the time since.
( fun spars btw ;) :D),
.. to answer the earlier question about how they record these things though, they shoot off a succession of punches over a period of time and the strikes let off are divided by no. of seconds recorded for. With that equation you then get a point whatever of a second shoot rate..
like when youre training by number of speed reps into a bag or on a seated weighted lateral flexy trainer t-bar .. flexy through both sections of the T..

I normally personally try to interval train my speed at bursts of 200 sprint ( increasing as I go) and dropping back on a quick breath to 50-100 slow ( or jog pace). I normally do any number of sets on them and any combo of vital strike destiantion points..
loose handns are good when you do this.. remember training the speed isn't about the impact yet so much as the form and tapping the beat you need to fire with and getting familar with the form sequence that builds to the wind up point you can let your strike fly from.. and the position to best brace to absorb a strike from should that need to happen..
if you get reeally familiar with internal workings you can go from 0-strike or absorb position in no time at all .. not that we're talking about iron skills here at all so I'll leave you there.

cheers

Bruce Lee, look at yourselves & judge another?

Bruce Lee, no super hero, no god, he's just an ordinary man. Why does everyone rave on about him/ He's no different to you & I, he puts his shoe's on 1 at a time like everyone else. :confused: ! MAYBE IT"S BECAUSE HE"S AN ORDINARY MAN DOING EXTRA ORDINARY THINGS. :) I've just read the posts here & they had tones of jealousy, disbelief, they boarded on slaming a deadman who's whole life was martial arts & it's progression, bringing it to the masses , taking martial arts out of the past,giving it a new life, personally revolutioising it. :eek: He redesigned the way we thaught, trained, exercised, ( Bruce brought home the concept of taking what works & discarding what didn't. Most styles don't have the guts to do that, let alone realise when it's time to evolve, or become a dinosaur.:( He was outstanding in numerous ways, speed, adaptability, & spiritual concepts of martial arts.

IF we look around there are many more who also gave thier lives to martial arts, in many ways.
no-one doubdts this so, so why sandbag :mad: someone who gave so much to the world. What have you given, besides your closed mind, & negativity, to benifit the world this week?
