The Centerline Punch
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line... hence one of the reasons we embrace the Centerline Punch in Wing Chun Kung Fu.
Wing Chun uses linear movements due to the very nature that a straight punch to the face of an enemy will get there faster than that of a hook punch.
The effort of a hook punch does have a very "satisfying" feeling of delivery as one can definitely feel the power behind it... but when compared to the Wing Chun Centerline Punch, it's distance, timing and placement is outmatched by the speed and accuracy of the Wing Chun Centerline Punch.
The Wing Chun Centerline Punch uses elbow placement, elbow "power" and skeletal structure to reinforce its delivery in place of brute strength.
Picture holding a baseball bat...your enemy has one as well. As he winds up his to swing it at you, you thrust yours forward and jam it in his face. This is just one of the concepts behind the Wing Chun Centerline Punch.

Great post. I think the wing chun punch is very underestimated as it doesn't have the elaborate motion of a full round punch, however it is very quick- strong and in wing chun yo are taught to hit soft but deadly targets --to be effective you don't need to exert massive power.. Sometimes less is more

Wing Chun Kung Fu sounds new to me. Based from what I read, I think it is a great form of self-defense that a person should learn.
