Don't push. Expand from the ground
Grandmaster Chen corrects the jabs of his students, including his daughter Tiffany.
Don't push into the target, and don't turn the hips.
Expand from the ground, "walk up", like marching in a parade.
Put your foot down first and use the toe and the ball of the foot to push the knuckles out, making a solid popping sound at the target.
If you don't pull all the way back, you create the possibility of doing another, faster jab.
If you do pull back, your elbow doesn't need to stay up and you can get some extra protection.
