Could someone explain to me how to stand when you do something like a chain punch ? ( as in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mangoB8YS4uV4 ) I just got the question and, ehmm, I assume it really doesn't matter as long as both your shoulders are equally near the punching bag.

@critialcloudkicker knowing how your legs is the main part of any martial art, for chain punching you keep your legs shoulder-wide with your main leg ever so slightly forward, keep your knees loose (not too bent not too straight) and don't lock them into position, if your think your knees should be different trust your instinct
this provides only stability, as your hips DO NOT move during this kind of punching (fast chain-punching isn't used in a real fight, it's used to train your arm speed and callous your hand to prevent hard punches from hurting you later on)Friday, 08-Jul-16 22:05:52 UTC from web-
@zennx I took a dive down memory lane and found some stuff from my Kuntao hokkien silat days and, yeah, I think I found one that would be good, ( and one backup in case it does not sit/fit well enough ). Also do not worry, it is only for training against a boxing-pillar. Originally not even for myself but someone else asked me after finding the boxing-pillar thingie in storage of the rec-room. But now that I have seen stuff like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pZ8jSmNoYs I might just end up back into the art myself... dammit youtube, why are your recommended video's so viral for my brain ?
