If you've ever read the "one and three inch power punch", a lot of it is rehashed from JD's book.
ps...Bruce Lee's wasn't that special.

I studied Hsing-I for a couple of years in San Diego. As one of the three primary internal styles, it takes the better part of a life time to master. The power comes from the ground.
