It's obvious it will cause more damage to use the top two. Think about it. The bottom three pressed against something forms a straight line of 3 humps not petruding the line. The top two in contact are two very hard humps not in alignment. Rougher alignment and harder bone = more damage. However i agree with whats been mentioned about the bottom three knuckle fist being a lot easier on the wrist. Due to the middle knuckle sticking out further than the fore-knuckle causes a slight outer twist of the wrist, taking away from whats feels solid and natural. This is why im constantly pumping the junior fingers with a hand gripper or ball at any able moment (specially the thrid finger). But until they're up to scratch it's gonna be the duo all the way

hmmmm


a truck is move down the street at 35 mph it has a round bumpy bumper, hit hits you, massive injuries

Another truck is moving down the street at 35 miles an hour and has a flat bumper and it also hits you, massive injuries.


It will depend on target and hand position which tool you are going to use. either appear to work at least part of the time and lead to injuries the other part of the time.

Poor guy,
He should of got out of the street after the first truck hit him.

LMAO That's funny...


Now ask if he got the lisence plate number of either truck? It's all about awareness!




You just made coffee come out of my nose...

I agree on most of what you said, you have just confirmed my belief and what my instructor has been reiterating. However, I don't agree on your assessment on the top two knuckles being better. for me, better alignment means more power. power comes from our structure. we at our club call the bottom 3 knuckles as the power line.

I really feel there is a lot more force in a jab or hook with the first two knuckles. (and basic physics agrees)

Without knowing the reasoning for you saying phsics agree with your statement, I can't agree with such a statement. I would like to hear yoru reasoning on that statement though. Maybe I'm just not seeing something in the equation.

I'd use both top two main knuckles to hit with. Look what is behind the pinky, nothing, no support. I'd use palm strikes most to the head since the head is hard and also not a flat surface. But to Chest/Stomach a punch would be more effective than a palm. A punch would be just as effective to the head but more likely to injury than the heal of your palm, you also get more reach w/ knuckles.
