personally I do 50 punches (25 left, 25 right) every night, non-stop as fast as I can. I did that for a month and I could hear the wind from what I thought were quite soft punches. so, maybe that'll work
oh yeah the punches are hook/jabs (a two in one kinda thing)
just imagine you're clubbing someone around the temples.

Punching a wall bag full of gravel to get the power up, candles for the relaxation in the punch. Ball on a string for moving targets. Sparring pads are okay for distancing etc but always draw a face on them or you will soon learn to "seek hands" when you should be hitting the center line.
If you want to be good at punching, do lots of good punches. I do Wing Chun, BTW...

thanx for the replies!
I really needed to know how the kung fu guys practice... cause in karate there's a thing called makiwara ( a board stuck on the ground)< and the guys use to punch this a lot, and i can't afford or make one... so I thought, how that can't be so important! cause karate came from china, and I doubt that the chinese MA had makiwara... so the question came to my mind: How the hell did they practice their punches... I guess reps is the answer right?
thanx!
keep postin and sharin! thanx!

we train chain punches with a partner. one side just chain punches and the other side just does pak sau to "brush off" or stop the punches.
by ourselves, nothing beats a regular 1000 punches a night.
chain punches starting with your left
10x1, 10x3chain, 10x5chain, 10x7chain, 10x9chain
this adds to a total of 250 punches.
slowly build up the number of times you do these.
i'm currently doing four sets ot these everynight. it's supposed to get easier sometime soon but it isn't happening.
don't think i'll be moving up to 1250 punches yet...
