Power in punches that use the Wing Chun structure do rely heavily on the forearms - it's all about wrist abduction - a key factor in the "end power" of Wing Chun punches. Hey Shaolin - help me out here bud

Well the upward snap does contribute but I don't know if I can explain it correctly physiologically. I can only say that the upward wrist snap provides an additional joint/muscle adding velocity while enhancing fist forearm alignment creating an 'arrow' (locked single unit) with which to shoot. The power in the punch should come from relaxed energy: The kuen kuit for the punch is a rock(tight fist) and a string(relaxed arm).
In teaching the punch the main challenge in my experience is traning the student to turn off the bicep and allow the punch to fully extend without hyper extending.
I would be interested to hear any additional info on the punch or chain punching.

Mr. Miyagi was modeled after Chojun Miyagi, the founder of Goju Ryu. Wonder which kind of karate he is teaching Daniel san? Take a wild guess!

It's cool to train your blocks so that they hurt almost as much as a strike. You want to get your opponent's punch out of the way at all costs. You want to make them sorry they tried to punch you. Hehe  So, forearm training is important to me in that respect.

| to have strong forarms is certainly an advantage to someone who does not trian their forarms.To have strong forarms you have the ability to block a punch,kick and cause pain to the aponent .When you have stong forarms when someone punches at you their punch will bounch off your bridge arm. |

You will have a solid wrist (you won't need hand wraps as bad.) and you wont twist or sprain your wrist.
