MIDDLE PUNCH -
"CHORNG DUAN CHUEN CHEE"

We can practice our middle punch whilst standing on the same spot in ready stance (chun pei ma bu) feet in line with your shoulders.

Start by putting both arms out and then pull one back.

The arm that is stretched out in front of you should have the palm of the hand facing downwards towards the floor - remember to make a tight fist with your thumb outside your fingers. The hand that is next to your body (elbow bent) should have the palm of the hand (tight fist) facing upwards towards the sky.

As the punch comes out it goes underneath the hand pulling back so both palms face each other on the way out. Then the hand twists so the palm is facing downwards as the punch is fully extended. Remember to pull the other hand back to the starting position.

Practice slowly to start with, then you can speed up, but remember to keep concentrating on good technique - getting everything right!

You can practice the shout ("harn") at the same time by shouting as you finish the punch.

Remember the punch should finish in the centre of the body - not in line with your elbow & shoulder but in line with the centre of you!.

Keep practicing!
