Okay, this is what this martial arts "expert" has to say:-
Contrary to popular belief, the 1-inch punch is more widespread that just within Wing Chun.
It is also done in Eng Choon peho, Hung Gar and even Yi Chuan.
Hung Gar does more of a 1-inch finger thrust. Eng Choon and even Fuzhou peho have short range techniques in many forms.
In Fuzhou peho, our techniques could be delineated to long range (long limb crane) and short range (short limb) crane.
Long Limb consists of Flying Crane big movements techniques.
In short limb, we do many elbows, shoulders, finger thrust and one-knuckle dipping punch. All the above require short range power.
So to say 1-inch punch is restrictive. A better way is to say short range jin.
Yi Chuan, something that is taking up a lot of my attention these days, has a whole series of techniques that focus on very short range.
This is something that they train:-
Placing a palm on partner’s chest area. Without breaking contact, just “push” and send partner reeling backward. I’ve seen a performance of this and their jin is unbelievable.
My interest in Yi Quan is prompted by my late Sifu. He told me; to “enhance” my White Crane, look into the internal arts and he pinpointed Yi Quan.
Fascinating journey!!!

yes..its universal among chines ma...we call it 'twa' or sudden jerk...having twa in ur kim will dislocate a person's elbow u know? it has been done many times I agree, "twa" with "iyo" lat ( hip power ), in other words mastery of the five power principle is what the one inch punch or technoque is all about. I remember Losien si always emphasie that we should not anticipate an attack but rather we must be able to parry, block or execute counter technique in a spilt second or a few inches before opponent strike hit us. This is where set sparing training comes into the picture. The set sparing purpose is to drill our technique so that we can execute them properly the set sparing drill should be executed in full power & realistically. Full power execution is almost like doing kah goh ki. The one inch principle also if executed properly can have a very powerful penetrating impact. Ex. di dip kun, before the punch reaches its target the arm travel straight then inches away the forearm twist, then centimeter away from the target the fist twist just like an arrow it digs into the target.
