Bruce Lee's one-inch boxing can be used for mixed martial arts training. My tutor, Tom Garriga, learned this directly from Bruce Lee. In 1974, I was taught how it worked, and I have been using it since then.
I can see many applications of this principle. The advantage of this concept is that it allows you to develop and deliver impact with great power, speed and no telegraph. Let's take a look at some useful MMA applications.
First of all, in "dirty boxing," you might let your opponent face the road, you are pushing, trying to disappoint him because he countered. Suddenly, from a few inches, you slammed with either hand and applied a full force punch on his chin. He fell for the count, you won the knockout!
is it possible? Yes, very likely. I used piezoelectric electronics to measure the pressure, speed and power for more than 25 years, and I know that I can provide enough impact from a few inches from my opponent.
At the request of the Gracie brothers, I was invited to the first UFC to measure the opponent's pressure. Therefore, I am very familiar with the power that professional warriors can develop. Ken Shamrock received the highest rated power in the event.
Over the years, I have measured the power, strength and speed of thousands of boxers and martial arts fighters. I trained the world's Toughman champion Cody Koch and was able to compare his power to the power of many other fighters.
With proper training, the fighter can develop one to three inches of power from one to three inches. This is a matter of following the principle of force [F = 1/2 MV square, where F is force, M is mass or weight, and V is speed].
Since the weight of the fighter does not change, the key is acceleration. The acceleration is doubled and then the force is increased by a factor of four because the velocity is squared [2 x 2 = 4]. Now, if you reduce the speed by 1/2, you increase the power by 8 times since P = 1/2 MV square/time.
So, if you can reach your opponent quickly with great power, your efficiency can be increased by eight times! This can be a huge advantage.
The second example of a one-inch punching advantage is to stand up. I have not seen any warrior with Bruce Lee's speed or strength. However, if they are opponents, long distance, and the first to throw and connect boxing, it could be a knockout!
There are many times when the boxer is close but does not seem to have completed the task. If they can provide a 1-inch impact with a knockdown force, imagine the result. This technique should be taught at each martial arts college.
