Straight Lead Punch Technique | Using the Straight Lead like Bruce Lee

The straight lead punch is a super important technique that Bruce Lee used all the time. It involves throwing a jab with your fist remaining vertical instead of going horizontal like normal. This makes the strike much faster while still keeping it effective in a fight.

You don't want to move your feet before throwing this specific strike. Moving your lead hand to throw the straight punch before your legs move, you'll find you get more power and a quicker strike.

When used correctly, the straight lead punch can be thrown between your opponent's guard and set them up for a stronger punch or kick immediately after.
