Yat Chee Choy — Sun Fist Punch

What Is Yat Chee Choy?

Yat Chee Choy — the Sun Fist Punch — is delivered from the horse riding stance, the fist extending directly to the side, striking with the first two knuckles. It trains the core Hung Gar principle of hip-driven power.

Key Points

1. Stance: Horse riding posture — feet planted, weight evenly distributed, knees bent.
2. Chamber: Hold the fist at the hip or side with the elbow bent and forearm parallel to the ground.
3. Extension: Drive the fist directly outward, arm slightly bent at the elbow.
4. Hip rotation: Rotate hips and shoulders simultaneously to generate power.
5. Impact: Strike with the first two knuckles — wrist straight, forearm aligned.
