His speed would allow him to snatch a dime from a mans hand and leave a penny before the man could close his hand. With this given, I am thinking along the lines that Bruce could do the one inch punch, because he was so fit and strong, and basically a physical machine. Technique was important, but I am doubting that technique alone can do this. I think technique is 5% of the one inch punch, and physical quality is 95%.
Exactly. Its not like i'll just be able to do it by following the technique my Sifu does. I do know however that if anyone can do it then a long standing practitioner of Kung Fu could.
I can tell you this though, from doing what I do my arms feel much faster and lighter so I can sort of see how Bruce Lee did it.
