What Martial Art Inspired Rock Lee’s 1-handed stance(From Naruto)?

Posted on December 16, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

Excluding the obviously Anime martial arts you find he often does which are impossible for humans there is an obvious Kung fu influence in his arts, while alot of his kicks we used to do in Tae kwon Do… so i was wondering if anyone know where that signature 1 hand infront of the body stance he uses came from.
It’s not druken fist though because he’s only supposed to use drunken fist in the series when hes drunk. he is seen making this motion when he’s sober

how do you root yourself to the ground on both legs when you punch?

In kung-fu as well as other martial arts styles, you root yourself to the ground on both feet and twist your hips and punch. Say if I’m in a 50/50 stance (50% of weight on one leg and 50% of the other) I can’t feel the root on my legs and feet. I feel that the root is more right down between my legs and feet. Same thing applies to the bow stance and horse stance.

In contrast, in boxing, where you root on one leg only and pivot the other, you can feel the connection to the ground on that one leg.

But in kung-fu with two legs trying to root, you can’t feel the root. It’s more down the center between your legs and feet.
