Punching problems

[Fighter4Life]

when i punch i tend to punch with my middle knuckle since its real sharp and big is this a problem?

Usually when you punch you want to make contact with your first two nuckles, so I think as long as your technique is okay, there shouldn't be a problem.

[Sensei Rick]

i think it's a problem. you need to align your first two knuckles with the bone in your arm. the ulna i think, the one that is closest to your index finger. and keep your wrist straight across the top too. tell your instructor and train your self to punch correctly.

Sensei Rick is correct. The first two nuckles is done for two main reasons.

A) it gives a smaller contact point and therefore, greater impact

B) it aligns the bones to create a stronger punch and more importantly, to prevent injury to yourself.

Learn to get it right before punching anything with force.
