Mind, Body and Spirit of Bruce Lee's Punch

Bruce Lee

Drawing upon both physical and neuro power, Lee’s devastating one-inch punch involved substantially more than arm strength. It was achieved through the fluid teamwork of every body part. It was his feet. It was hips and arms. It was even his brain. In several milliseconds, a spark of kinetic energy ignited in Lee’s feet and surged through his core to his limbs before its eventual release.

This is a good review of the biomechanics of Bruce Lee's devastating punch.  In brief, he nurtured an amazing ability to converge mind and body, and spirit, too, no doubt, onto a target and to do so with breathtaking speed and power.  This happens only through countless practice sessions, as Lee was known to practice his martial arts constantly.  These sessions are not just physical, but also mental and neural, offering testament to the T'ai Chi Ch'uan principle of the mind being the commander (i) over the chi and over the body.
