Beginner Kung Fu Lesson 5 – Three Basic Punches

The primary straight-line punches to learn in kung fu are the…

• Upset Punch
• Straight Punch
• Vertical Punch

The keys to throwing each of these punches correctly are….

• Proper alignment
• Strike with the two big knuckles
• Keep the hand and arm relaxed until just prior to making contact with your target
• Penetrate through the target

I discuss these three punches further in the video below.

The best way to train them is on a heavy bag like the Everlast 80 pound bag I have in my garage.
