Zitat von Dave Believe me it's real fun! And a good work-out. I was told this tennisball between springs was one of Bruce Lee's ideas... |
You're right Dave, this was one of Bruce Lee's training tools, and Wong Shun Leung described it in the article "Wong Shun Leung on Bruce Lee" :
Zitat:
We then came to his garden where there was a ball, which was used to train the punch. It was smaller than an American football and one of its ends was tied to a spring. The other end was tied to a nylon thread, which was connected to the ground. When the ball was hit, it would spin and swing swiftly. Usually, its movement was in proportion to the force and speed of your punch.
After he finished his practice with the ball, he asked me to try. Even though I did not hit accurately as he did, the difference was not too big. As he installed this device, certainly he would be more familiar with it and hit more accurately. It that was my first time in using the ball that I could have such a result was already very good. In fact, that was out of his expectation. My performance had shattered his dream of being a superman. Originally Bruce thought that I would not be able to hit the ball.
