Kyusho One Inch Punch: One of the great martial arts demonstrations is Bruce Lee’s One Inch Punch. It was never intended as a combat or self defense move, just to show that size did not matter when it came to power. The funny thing is, the man who asked George Dillman to investigate pressure points, used some pressure point principles in what we can also refer to as the Kyusho One Inch Punch.
Now the haters are going to scream foul, but this is what they do best. So upset them more I will and as always just ignore them!
Kyusho One Inch Punch
Bruce spent a long time perfecting this technique. He actually had a machine he devised to help build up wrist strength to do this! But, a novice Kyusho practitioner with a little training can also get a GREAT result. How does it work?
Bruce has a big style to the demonstration which is cool, but he is actually using a striking action with this technique called grasping. This type of striking action is used against the water element. Now, Bruce also strikes to the center-line of the body, which is also best attacked with a grasping striking action. So do this with your Uke, grasping and striking in a downward motion with 2 Way Action, and you will get a result the first time out.
Below is a video from many years ago I had forgotten about talking and shows how Kyusho Jitsu and the Principles of Kyusho Jitsu are linked to the One Inch Punch.
Now, I mean absolutely no disrespect to Bruce Lee and his art, or those who train in this system today. However, Bruce had a way of seeing things in other arts and then incorporating them into what he did if he saw value.
Kyusho One Inch Punch in Conclusion

Now I question when Bruce began to demonstrate the Bruce Lee One Inch Punch, or as I refer to it the Kyusho One Inch Punch, if he had combat in mind.
However, I can see a great application for this in a Close quarters situation, and therefore believe that pursuing this knowledge more is essential and worthwhile.
