Recently, Xu Can, China's only active world boxing champion, launched the "Ten Seconds Fist Speed Challenge" activity on Douyin, and for a while, Chinese martial arts boxers rushed out and joined the challenge.
Action actors Wu Fan, Li Jingliang, YiYilong, Yang Jianping, Fu Gaofeng, Qiu Jianliang, Xiong Chaozhong, Song Yadong, Wang Sai, Lin Heqin and other star boxers have filmed videos to join the event, in a short period of time, "Ten Seconds Fist Speed Challenge" has landed on the fourth place in the Douyin hot list, and now the number of plays has approached 100 million.
Xu Can defeated American boxing genius Robles in the 2019 WBA Featherweight World Gold Belt Defense Battle, in which he punched 1562 punches, setting a record for the number of punches a featherweight boxer in a single game, and he was also called "humanoid Gatlin" by boxing fans.
So how fast is Gatlin's punch? According to Xu Can himself, he punched 111 punches in those 10 seconds, an average of 11 punches per second, which is 2 more than the legendary Bruce Lee's 9 punches per second!
How did Bruce Lee's "9 punches per second" come about? I think it's probably the data that some dragon fan got from a training video of Bruce Lee...
Since the boxing speed is mentioned, Lone Shadow will give you some records about the speed of the punch today, in the Guinness Book of World Records, there is "the most punches in 1 minute".
The record was set by Australian Wing Chun master Robert Ardito, who punched 805 punches in 1 minute, an average of 13 punches per second! Robert Ardito played Wing Chun's Japanese punch, and one minute of continuous punches was very physically demanding and difficult.
Robert Ardito is a huge fan of Bruce Lee, studied under the famous Hong Kong Wing Chun master Fung Chuan Keung, and is the great-grandson of Ip Man.
He founded the "Little Dragon Wing Chun Kung Fu Academy" in Australia, with numerous disciples, and he has also made great achievements in the improvement and innovation of Wing Chun, and is recognized worldwide as a Wing Chun master.
The world's fastest punch was created by an American boxer named Keith Liddell, whose punches reached 45 mph and is included in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Keith Liddell qualified for the London Olympics boxing tournament but gave up due to injury, and although his boxing speed reached the world record, Keith Liddell was a boxer of average level.
On the Internet, there are many kung fu Internet celebrities who pursue extreme speed too much, in fact, "the world of martial arts, only fast is not broken" is just a product of movies and novels.
The level of fighting is determined by the boxer's skill, physical fitness, will quality, on-the-spot tactics and other aspects, if you don't believe it, then go into the boxing gym to experience it!
