red dawn Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 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. I never said it wasn't dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensei Rick Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 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. place clever martial arts phrase here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiffy Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Sensei Rick is correct. The first two nuckles is done for two main reasons.A) it gives a smaller contact point and therefore, greater impactB) 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. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
