The punch is the most fundamental strike in all combat disciplines, yet its execution varies dramatically between systems like Boxing, MMA, and Wing Chun. This comprehensive 2000-word comparative analysis breaks down the core mechanics of the Wing Chun vertical fist punch against the rotational power of the horizontal fist used in Western combat sports.
