| in gungfu it is important to have strong forearms....gung fu's such as wing chun have many work out for the forearms...fitness as a whole is important for any martial artists...strong forearms not only make a punch stronger but also strengthens the grip of the hands... |

| I always hear a strong forearm will make a punch stronger but how? Better grip of course but to send a stronger punch dont' you need chest and the other muscles. |

| studies now show that a punch is not delivered with the chest muscles...the main muscles are the one in the legs...forearm...the tricepts....stomach....and shoulder and back muscles. it uses the same movement as when you open a refrigerator...the chest muscles will allow a person to push arder and there are many martial arts that uses puch techniques... |

| Forearm strength also makes you grab harder as well...also when you hit with your hips it causes you to use your legs and follow through with your whole body! if you only hit with your arm and shoulder you are only using the top half of your body |

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

Forearms are very important when blocking. They can make your blocks so much more powerful! Try out iron forearm and see what I mean.

hehe, yeah!
but, it's not always possible to move completely out of the way. I'd rather block a thigh kick with my knee then move out of the way. I saw this clip where a guy goes for a shin kick to the thigh and the guy blocks him, thus breaking his shin! Man.. it looked horrid, I just couldn't imagine the pain!
