well I think you made it more confusing, maybe I am just slow. How about this clip…

how does clean and jerk relate to punching? If anything I can see how the squatting motion is similar to a kick but without the rest of your body you are limiting your kick extensivly.

Ive seen him on other forums; hes always been extremely rude to me No big deal because if your heart is not right you will always lose a debate because hate will always get in the way, and you cannot think clearly and will embarrass yourself, as recently seen in one of my threads
Lets be nice, its obvious that he hasnt been around that long maybe hes just guessing I say this because there is nothing in his profile that says: how long, when, where or who? And no true identity Dont you just hate that, especially when they guess wrong?
I never had to turn when throwing a punch, even while performing iron palm I like to isolate half of my body when demonstrating iron palm(on my knees; unless the bricks are stacked more then three)
There is no need to turn; you just need a strong stance and good timing thats works well with the body mechanic that runs the technique or applications that you are using at that time, unless you are reaching from fighting on the outside, because your body is naturally turned when stepping to the outside

not trying to be rude just having a friendly conversation.
[QUOTE=Hendrik;820541]sure , but eagle or crane would not take off via swing. not to mention what happen a split of second before the swing, go a head slow motion the act and observe.
there is where AWARENESS is usefull. does one aware of what happen before the eagle take off ?
just some thoughts[/QUOTE]
ok please explain more. What about a monkey paw?
[QUOTE=YungChun;820543]IMO WCK has linear power generation from the body, as well as rotational power generation from the body.. When and how each is used, sometimes in combination is determined by the tactics in play.
Those who have no power have none IMO because they:
A. Are using arm power only..
B. Are not used to releasing power in training and making hard contact.[/QUOTE]
of course I am not saying anything to the contrary.
[QUOTE=Knifefighter;820561]The above clip is vertical, non-percussive power generation.
Generating maximal horizontal, percussive force generation (such as seen in striking, shot-putting, baseball, tennis, etc) requires body rotation. This is the reason the body is rotated in all sports that require this maximum amounts of this type of power generation.[/QUOTE]
agreed.
What the heck is SLT power. Your clip just showed basic structure, and you were using your structure like a spring. This type of power we call impact power(it has many applications), I’m not talking about impact power. It has its place, but in fighting you must be able to generate power not just rely on impact.
Its a pretty sad state if someone trains punching and kick without basic power generation. How do you punch the heavy bad (other than chain punch?). Doesn’t it seem odd that every other martial art creates power from rotating the body(in some way) when they punch… maybe everyone is nuts? 
More importantly what about the second and third form… they loudly point to this fact. Where do you think the straight lead that is shown in so many clips on the web as the 1 inch punch comes from?
You guys really don’t believe that just lifting your leg and have a good structure is going to hurt someone when you kick… do you? Maybe we are talking about two different martial arts. LOL
