The drilling punch, ‘tou kuen’, in wing chun occurs by rotating the forearm and fist inward to give it a natural tension and added strength to the strike. With correct alignment with the shoulder, it locks the elbow into a more rigid postiion. This gives it the charcateristics of an iron bar.
Does anyone else favour this way of punching, particular those in hung kuen and white crane, where we all agree wing chun has a strong connection.

The higher the punch, the more the knuckles rotate outward. The lower the punch, the knuckles rotate inward. By doing this, the integrity of the punch is maintained.
