[I:http://revistaminimi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/AlCase31.jpg] This Korean Karate technique is one of the simplest and most deadly techniques in the classical martial arts. As simple as it is, it requires perfect and exact timing, and a number of little elements I’m about to tell you about. Understanding these little points, and practicing a bit, and you are going to have one of the most powerful tools in your martial arts arsenal.
I discovered this trick in the form Pinan Five, it happens right after you execute a crescent kick and low block. You are now standing in a horse stance, and you swing the right arm across the body to cover the left side of the body with a weird, fingers pointed palm block. You then perform a left punch to the left, and that is what I call the power punch.
You can do this move exactly as it is in the form, and it will work with plenty of power. But there are ways to adjust it to make even more power, and to make it even more functional. And we want more functional, because we want to understand this technique so well that we can use it in street situations.
