Cushioning Quotes

I believe in keeping running simple and, in regard to shoes, that would mean no gimmicks, unnecessary cushioning, etc. (Bill Rodgers)
Wong Shun-leung said that when you punch the head the brain hits the side of the skull. If the brain is against the side of the skull and a second hit follows, then damage and a knockout results because there is no cushioning possible. This is why Wing Chun has its rapid fire punches instead of the pull back approach. View quote
