Steven Ho Hits Conan With Bruce Lee's One Inch Punch | CONAN on TBS In this entertaining segment from Conan, Steven Ho demonstrates the iconic One Inch Punch made famous by Bruce Lee. This move, which Lee showcased at the Long Beach International Karate Tournament in 1964, exemplifies the principle of generating maximum power from a minimal distance. The demonstration not only highlights martial arts technique but also emphasizes speed and precision over brute force. Ho begins by explaining the One Inch Punch, clarifying that it’s not just a fighting technique but a way of illustrating how one can harness speed and technique to produce a significant impact—even when starting from just an inch away. He playfully warns Conan O'Brien about the potential dangers of the punch, jokingly mentioning the possibility of internal damage. As Conan nervously prepares for the demonstration, Ho uses a protective pad—referred to humorously as a "foam Ritz cracker"—to cushion the blow. With a slow, deliberate approach, he guides Conan through the process, illustrating that the technique includes a precise twist of the body to maximize the punch’s effectiveness. Though initially, Conan's experience is less dramatic, the segment escalates with comedic tension as Ho decides to step things up by trying the punch against a wooden board. The laughter and playful banter between them underline the enjoyable and lighthearted nature of the show. This segment is a perfect blend of comedy, martial arts demonstration, and insightful cultural references. It's not just about the punch itself but also about the training and discipline that goes into mastering such techniques. The clip highlights the significance of humor in showcasing traditional martial arts skills, making it an engaging watch. If you've seen it, what did you think of Ho's technique?
