Martial Arts Speed Training – Candle Punches
Punching out candle flames as a form of training, to improve speed and directness of strikes. An exercise that is fun and easy to do. As far as I can tell this exercise was first used by the shaolin monks for developing “Fa Jing” or striking power. This is not a difficult exercise. This video is in not demonstrational, it is purely instructional. For a more difficult set of candle punching exercises please see my Advanced candle punches video.
A couple of “donts” that I forgot to add into the video is…
- Never practice with long sleaves. (Possibility of them catching light, but it also makes the excercise extremely easy.)
- Dont practicing with the candle close against the wall because it makes the excerise easier. (Your just cheating yourself.)
If you have any questions feel free to email me through youtube and I will try my best to help.
