E verything comes from something, and the straight lead is no exception. In 1964, Bruce Lee wrote, “The art of straight hitting (punching in a straight and direct line) is the foundation of scientific skill. It is the end result of thousands of years of careful analysis and thought.”¹ Indeed, the straight punch is not something that “just happens.” Its origins can be traced to the pre-Olympic era (1500 to 1000 B. C.).
